microwave + grill + steamer
I use neither grill nor steamer too often and that’s why I decided to buy all-in-one appliance instead of standalone products. Obviously the function I use most often is microwave. It’s fast and simple in use. It takes some time to learn all the features and auto programs but after a while everything “clicks”. Probably the smartest feature is steam defrost. I’ve never been a big fan of defrosting things in microwave and usually used cold water for that but steam defrost makes thing more natural. It looks to me it’s more effective (but slower) than traditional defrost feature known from other microwaves. This microwave is really big and heavy. It’s massive. But I don’t mind having a heavy microwave as it stays on the countertop and doesn’t move every time you press the open button. You just need to get use to its size (not recommended for small kitchens though). It is difficult however to move it once you decide to clean underneath it. It might be your good excuse! I tried steam function on few occasions and it does job not worse than standalone steamer. Unfortunately grill doesn’t work as well as steamer and it’s good only for some type of food. It clearly lacks power but it’s still a nice addition to this reasonably priced item.Submitted by Jon9 out of 14 visitors found this review helpful.Was it helpful for you? Yes No
Most importantly it heats up food quickly and quite evenly. Definitely way better than my previous no name oven. It also doesn't dry food so it stays juicy. Using steamer means the interior is damp after cooking so it needs drying but that's understandable. The thing I'm not getting is the fan that stays on after cooking. Presumably to cool the oven down, but it still seems to a bit of an overkill.Submitted by Grace K4 out of 8 visitors found this review helpful.Was it helpful for you? Yes No
Not so simple
In general the performance is very good, so I can't complain. The things I'm concern about are the looks and functionality. It has a dripping tray, which covers an inch or so gap underneath the oven, but only from the front. the gap is still visible from other sides and that looks naff. The microwave isn't that easy to clean, unless someone has a solution, so then please write it in the comment/feedback. It isn't easy to master and in fact I still haven't managed to sort it out, although i'm not that bad with other new stuff. Hopefully it'll come...Submitted by 3 out of 6 visitors found this review helpful.Was it helpful for you? Yes No
