"A very nice looking m/wave and multi-function oven with lots of features, many of which we have yet to try.
One slight annoyance is the central control knob which I accidentally knock when opening and closing the door. Not a great problem but annoying none the less. I think we will grow very fond of this appliance."

"it was bought for its capacity & looks, BUT the more we find what it can do the better it gets."
"great quality. the jet defrost is amazing, so many functions, i haven't used them all yet.
it is very large and takes up the whole counter top plus the door is bottom hinged so can be difficult to reach inside if your short!"

"Fabulous machine. Has so many options. I am still experimenting! "
"The microwave seems well built and looks good. Quite large but lots of functions. Having failed to find a suitable replacement for a built-in microwave, this offered a good alternative and was a reasonable price. Still to explore all its many functions but initial impressions are positive "
"While I can relate to some of the issues other reviewers have had (it's not the quietest of machines), it does what it needs to do (and it does it well) :)
Absolutely love it.
I'm currently in accommodation with no oven and it's been an absolute lifesaver.
Like any new appliance, it takes a bit of learning (and adjusting to), but it cooks great. I've used a couple of the special chef programs for things like frozen pizza and it's cooked perfectly.
Can be a LITTLE slow to pre-heat up to maximum, but standard 180 doesn't take an age, and the chef programs generally go straight in without requiring pre-heat (e.g. frozen pizza - straight in on the crisper tray, plug in the weight, it calculates the time, you press go, flawless results). Some "back of packet" instructions need a little adjusting: I've noticed the fan/forced air/convection oven at recommended temps tends to take a tiny bit longer than generally recommended (though that could have something to do with the prep), but as with all ovens you play it by ear and leave it in for longer as needed :)
Overall, I'm thrilled with it. It does what it needs to do, and then some. Perhaps it doesn't do everything exactly how people are used to, but with a little adjustment and patience it's a great tool for cooking great food (and a REALLY welcome addition to my kitchen, which only had a microwave and a hob before).
Looking forward to getting really stuck in with baking etc."
