Hotpoint FREE SPACE CRISP MWHF206B 20 Litre Microwave With Grill - Black

Well it does the job but it is small . The bake tray will not hold a normal size pizza . Also this crisp tray is quite difficult to balance on the rails . Not really a family use microwave . It looks good and as it is small it doesn’t take up a lot of room .

The flatbed microwave is very handy lots of space to get multiple items in. Good power and the grill is a bonus, the crisp feature really works.

I have had this a week now, although I've not used all the programs, I am happy with the machine. I like the grill function which was great for reheating a portion of cottage pie.. the result was still having crispy mash. I did find you may need to warm it up first though. I tried doing toast in it which took a very long time, so I will still do my normal toast in electric toaster.. but still a good option for cheese on toast or as a back up. I also tried using microwave and grill together this worked very well and sped up cooking time. The microwave only function worked efficiently, with pleasing results. It was easy to use just press microwave function button to the temp you want wait a second, then press + button to required time. I liked the soften butter function this worked very precisely. I did find the press pad buttons very sensitive, so a clever addition was the auto child lock which comes on after a period of inactivity to prevent accidental operation.. this just comes off again as you open the door (love this feature) I did find this machine is a noisy runner, this is not a huge problem though and you get used to it. Machine has a good weight to it, so your not pulling it forward as you open door. You also need to close the door with positivity as the door itself 'is' light in weight, again you get used to that. I like the auto clean function also helps deodorize. Now it was expensive for a microwave but I do not have any regrets for making my choice of a combi microwave.. it also has a 2 year warranty, so all in all I am pleased with my purchase and hope to get many years of useful service from it.

After 1 weeks use I've already found many of the programs useful. The crisp function is really good and the dough rising program made excellent bread. Easy to clean too

Opened oven to see a tiny space, smaller than the one I have already have, as it has bars on the side to put crisp tray on you struggle to put plate under the bars, don't know how you would get on when there's food on the plate, crisp trad not very stable on bars. Flatbed looked good but plate touched the sides of microwave

Nice microwave, works well. The crisp function is particularly good and works well on pastry to avoid it getting soggy.
