"I did spend a lot of time researching Microwave Oven's, and there are 3 areas where this Hotpoint stand out from the rest.
First thing is the size, at 32 Ltrs you do not want to get one that's smaller that this. Unless perhaps you are only making food for one person.
In my previous (average size) microwave I have countless times complained about not having enough space for everything.
This is truly the size to go for if you cook for two or more people.
Secondly is the features. it makes sense getting one that has multi functions as in a very short time I have used most of the functions and have discovered how disappointed I would have been with a basic model.
Do not overlook this part of the oven.
Thirdly is the price. This model is mid range of the price bracket and with long discussions with my wife we considered getting an entry level product. But would have been sadly disappointed since size takes a cut and then its almost useless if you want to use it for 2 or more people and feature wise. You really cannot live without them. You might as well just buy a normal microwave if you want to save money. it is not worth going smaller.
I give this product 4 starts
Pro's
Great size
Good features
Looks great
Cons
Sometimes takes a bit longer than you think to cook a dish. (it might be that i don't have it on the right setting)
I Like it ! "

"Easy to work out instructions. Delivery was quick. Not used all programs on microwave yet but am pleased with Combi and microwave settings. And the grill saves turning in your oven "

"I bought this oven as a replacement from a sharp combi 40l that served me for 7 years so was undecided whether to replace that one or try another brand.
I'm glad I decided to go for this one. Has a ton of functions which are practical for a family of 4, really does cut down the cooking time even compared to my previous one. The dual crisp fry allows to make healthier meals I have even used it for plantain. It is more cost effective than an oven for smaller meals. Its eady to clean. Yes the settings can get erased if you touch the screen whilst opening closing however this is minor as I am mindful just to open the other way.
Don't know if it will last as long as the sharp but it is a wonderful every day combi oven"
