"This is a really nice looking microwave but the most important thing to me is that I can now cook sausages, bacon etc with the dynamic crisper. The cooked food comes out looking cooked instead of looking raw. "

"One of the things I love about the this microwave is the crisp plate. By using the crisp plate you can get your food perfectly brown on both the top and bottom. Which is perfect for our Pizza nights!
I love how simple it is to use, although there are so many functions, the instruction manual goes through each of them. It would be handy to have a list of food and average cooking times and programmes to use, but to be honest most of the time that is written on the packet.,
We mainly use the microwave for Jacket Potatoes, microwave popcorn and quick and easy food. As a busy mum on the go, it is really handy to use the Jet Start function to quickly reheat my cold cup of tea. The Jet Function uses the highest power and lasts for 30 seconds, perfect to zap that tea back to temp."

"This microwave is a microwave and a lot more! I was super impressed with the versatility of this machine. It will microwave but it will also grill and crisp food. The difference with this machine is the crisp plate and grill section. You receive a wire rack and a crisp plate with a crisp handle. The crisp plate is the impressive part as you pre-heat this and then can cook items which may require browning or crisping. I cooked bacon very successfully with this machine and it came out crispy and hot consistently. It also colours sausages and cooks chips!! One morning I was able to cook a full cooked breakfast with just the microwave.
It has many options as well as the crisp plate. There is a clock. There is a jet start which is the microwave function at full power. You can adjust this as well when food is cooking if required. The microwave function allows quick cooking or reheating. You can also choose the power you require for the type of food cooking or reheating. There is a grill which can brown food and grill items such as cheese on toast. The combi grill is really useful as this microwaves and grills at the same time allowing you to cook food through and colour at the same time. Again you can increase or decrease microwave power. A really useful feature is the bread defrost. I store my bread in the freezer all of the time and so this was invaluable! There is also the jet defrost menu which allows you to defrost vegetables and meat easily. The jet reheat feature allows for reheat already cooked food. The crisp plate feature I have already mentioned but I think stands this microwave apart from other microwaves. There is also a chef menu feature. This I haven’t experimented with very much but this has preset buttons which will cook various food types. When I first read that this had automatic recipes I was excited but the actual reality is popcorn, rice, pasta, frozen lasagne, nuggets, pizza and quiche and a few others. I consider myself a foodie and this wasn’t impressive in my opinion! With the other features of the microwave you could work out how to cook these items without issue I would imagine.
The capacity is huge – a full 25 litres so this can cope with a lot and should it get dirty there is an auto clean function which makes cleaning a breeze.
Overall though, this is a stand apart microwave just for the crisp plate. I loved the options this offers and I have cooked most items for the last week in the microwave without the use of my oven. I think it is well worth the investment and should last a long time.

"This microwave/grill looks good and has lots of handy functions.
It has a normal microwave with a high power of 800w, defrost setting and lots of present functions for various types of food.
One great feature is the crisp plate, this uses Dynamic Crisp technology to cook and crisp you food, we used this for breakfast (bacon and eggs), pizza,roast potatoes and worked well. I would suggest that they add a few more example cook times for this type of food as it was pretty much guess work in the beginning.....so you do waste a lot of time hanging around the microwave as you don't know how long to cook it for.
It also has a grill function which is far quicker than the grill on my main cooker, I found this a good feature and safer than a normal grill for my teenagers to use. We used this for toasted sandwiches which cooked really well.
The microwave fits a dinner plate in but is short enough so it fit under my kitchen wall cupboards nicely.
It also has a self cleaning function which is a good idea , it softens all the dirt making it easy to wipe clean after you have made all those delicious meals.
