This is a very large freestanding counter-top family microwave with a 33 litre capacity, and as such needs ventilation space of 30cm above it, so be aware of this if you are thinking of purchasing it. It has a stylish modern look, combining stainless steel and gloss black. It has both a 750 watt and a 900 watt output (I’ve never been able to choose before, but it makes it much easier to follow microwave specific recipes!). It cooks quickly thanks to its 900 Watt power output, but also lets you alter this to 750. It includes a grill too, so you can whip up tasty snacks in no time. The microwave comes with a ‘crisp plate’ to use for these types of dishes, for example grilling cheese on toast. In addition, Dual Crisp technology uses forced air with the grill for faster, more even and softer inside cooking results, which significantly reduces the amount of oil used making it perfect for cooking chips or roasting potatoes! Your meals will always be thoroughly cooked, as Multiwave Technology evenly distributes heat from 2 directions. I've often found with previous microwaves that we have owned that this can often be a problem, with parts of the food cooked less than others. However, we have so far not had this problem while using it. We have been really happy with the performance of this microwave as it does everything you would want from a microwave, but with the additional benefit of the grill and dual crisp technology. We also took a bit of getting used to the door which opens downwards. Initially I found I would press the buttons accidentally as I opened until I got more used to it. Overall we were very impressed and can see it having a long and busy life in our kitchen! :)

We wanted a microwave that would double up as an oven for when we renovate our kitchen. Really impressed with the oven, cooks as well as our conventional oven. Not tried all the programmes yet but it appears to do everything...even has a self clean function!

looks nice, cooks well. i decided to purchase this after i watched a video,but... 1 thing ive noticed since purchasing this product is that you cant open the door by the handle without touching some of the settings.... now i know why the chap in the video never hardly touched the handle while he was demonstrating , lol, ;) ....but tottaly hapy with this product.

I'm very please with this piece of equipment. My previous Panasonic combi microwave lasted going on 20 years and served me well. Looking for a replacement proved complex as I particularly didn't want hundreds of pre-set cooking programmes which I never use. I'm very happy with all I've done so far in the week that I've had it but still more to try. I use my combi microwave very much as a back up to my Aga either when I cooking for lots of people or when the Aga is off for some reason and this piece of equipment covers every possible need and gives me a proper grill which an Aga doesn't have so I can have the joys of cheese on toast! However, I certainly don't use it daily so don't always remember times for cooking some things eg corn on the cob and there is very limited information in the handbook on this and no signpost to additional info that might be available perhaps on the internet. Major pluses: ease of use with clear guidance on the machine. It's easy to work out how to use the microwave without referring to the handbook for instance Key minuses: The size of the thing and the fact that 36 cm clear space is needed above the machine when it is in position, (which I imagine only applies when the oven is used) which is very difficult to achieve between a normal work surface and wall cupboard. I knew this when I bought it, because I'd read the reviews, and I planned for it but I think this is a key issue especially for smaller kitchens

Brilliant Product. You could actually live without a traditional oven if you have this product. Looks great too. Fantastic Delivery & Service

Bought this combi oven to replace an old Panasonic oven and my how the technology has changed. It is simple to use and has a host of differing settings which enable you to cook food without any fuss. A great product.

Had this a week or two and seems to work ok and looks nice. It feels a bit cheap and plastic-y in places. The door mechanism in particular. The weight balance of the unit means that when you open and close the door, it moves on the tabletop and rattles a bit. And when you open and close the door, your hands tend to press the touch buttons randomly. It's not the most powerful microwave - even at the 900w setting it feels less so than the previous one. Otherwise all ok so far.
