Excellent backup for a main cooker

"I bought this combi-oven as a replacement for a very ancient Sharp device. The oven is used as a backup for when the main kitchen oven is overloaded, or as happened recently, out of order. The Sharp appeared to be functionally OK but the convection oven never reached its stated temp.

The new oven will be used in a similar way but will have more work from the outset as the main oven is still out of commission.

The first reading of the manual shows this device to have many 'helper' functions for specific meals. These combine the microwave, grill and convection elements to create an overall program. I tried one of the programs as a test and it worked fine, but that is not how this machine will be used. As a straightforward fan oven replacement it works well. It heats quickly and stays at the correct temperature. Also, the grill works fine.

I can't find many problems with the device but will mention two foibles. When closing the door you will probably knock one of the touch symbols on the front of the oven. To avoid this, close it from the ends of the handle rather than the centre. The second oddity is that the crisping tray is made of such soft metal that it warps in the oven. It is easy enough to bend back into shape but it feels a bit cheap to have to do so.

Overall, I like the oven and it does its job well. It was good value for money, looks good in the kitchen, and I've no doubt will be used in my kitchen for years."
