"At first it seemed complicated but reading the instructions it has been a wonderful purchase and a god send to our kitchen"
"Very pleased with this micro wave oven. A joy to cook with and excellent value for money."
"Great oven. Really pleased with purchase. Took a few days to get used to the settings but kept the quick guide nearby so easy to refer to. Loads of room inside and like the accessories that come with it, especially the browning dish. The only niggle is the oven door does not go completely flat when open, but can cope with it!"

"Wow, I love the air frying modes! I’ve never been a chip person but even low fat frozen chips come out nicer than takeaway chips, and faster too! The chicken air frying mode makes the most delicious chicken, also faster than a takeaway. Most functions, including the air frying modes, use microwaves in addition to grill and/or convection, so along with the much smaller cavity compared to a regular oven, things take much less time and energy. As an example of this, I just cooked 1kg of chicken to perfection in 24 minutes and frozen oven chips take around 13 minutes. The steamer set is great, too.
I’ve not quite got the hang of baking cakes yet - they came out fine but I would prefer them browner on top, but this is probably me guessing the settings incorrectly as I bake gluten-free, low carb, paleo cakes so it’s not immediately obvious which settings to choose. I’m confident that I’ll be able to work it out though through my first few cakes. It’s made me wonder if I actually need the convection setting at all for iced cupcakes, actually.
The only downside is that unlike my Magimix food processor, this doesn't come with a nice hardback recipe/instructions book. In fact it doesn’t come with a recipe book at all which seems strange, nor even a link to watch a video of someone explaining how to use it for best results . I think it would benefit from ideally both a demonstration via a link/QR code, and a little hardback recipe book with the machine instructions in too. (If it's hardback, people tend to keep it with their recipe books and would always know where it is.) Because I live on my own with electric-only cooking appliances and because I cook from scratch, with the current energy prices this machine will pay for itself pretty quickly. It’s also much more fun to use than a regular oven! It does take up slightly more counter space than my previous microwave but it’s not huge, it’s nothing like as big as the 80s microwaves, which was what I was imagining. The photos don’t do it justice, it looks really good!"

"Bought to replace a Microwave, this does so much more. Pleased with the build quality and accessories. Has given me more options for cooking healthy meals and is so fast so hopefully will save money. Food is cooked to perfection with the Chef Menu. Looks great on the worktop and is easy to access and clean. Love it x

"This is a great new addition to my kitchen. I was just replacing my microwave but with fuel costs decided to get a combination oven again. So far so good.
Only downside is I would have liked a cookery book so I don’t have to guess times etc until I get used to it"
