John, Maidstone

Score 9.0/10

+ Versatile, ideal for cooking for one, but also has the capacity for cooking larger quantities

- Grill only appears to have one level of heat, moving up brings in either microwave or conventional which isnt always ideal

nigel, bovey tracey

Score 9.0/10

+ on first opening and looking at the oven, i was a little dissapointed, as it has a very simple/plain looking appearance.
the button to open the door is stiff and you tend to push the oven itself backwards, resulting sometimes in interior spillages.
but it does each job very well, i like its cooking power, i've had zero cool spots in any of the food i've cooked so far.
the actual operating of the machine is nice and simple once you become familiar with its operation.

- included in above :)

David, London , “Cautious When Purchasing Items”

Score 10.0/10

+ On the plus side it has a deep capacity that allows you to fit large bulky items of all shapes inside to cook with ease, there is clearly enough space and by far the best Microwave I have used to date. Definitly value for money.

- Product is a bit confusing as not so consumer friendly when trying to cook on correct settings, requires you to refer to manual each time until you memorise everything

Cheryl, Indian Queens , “domestic goddess!”

Score 10.0/10

+ Very easy to clean interior, so much easier than a conventional oven and because it is surface height and I have a bad back the access is easy too. With a little practice the combination feature is very easy to use and much simpler than my previous model. It is more economical, quicker to heat up and far superior to my 'normal oven' which I never use at all now. I can do a roast for 4 people in it quite easily by roasting the meat on the bottom then putting in the wire rack and roasting the potatoes above, veg I steam separately. I cook every day and I also bake, it is great to be able to watch my cakes rise at a comfortable height and with a good view in through the window.

- I really haven't found any

Anonymous verified purchaser , “Retired”

Score 8.0/10

+ Liked the overall design and appearance, and the ease of selecting the programmes / timing etc

- Found the combined - design of the metal inner 'Stand' annoying, due to obstruction caused by its upper legs when attempting to put in or retrieve dishes during use of the oven,-- being dependent on the leg positions when the turntable stops
