Rating : 4 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Great combi microwave
I've had this oven a couple of weeks and am delighted with it. It looks really smart and is easy to operate. The instruction manual is clear to follow too. This is my 1st venture into combi ovens so can't compare with any previous experience. I've reheated a pie on micro/grill and was delighted with the result, nice and hot with crusty pastry.
It has a stanless steel interior and is very spacious. The display is large and bright and visible from the other end of a big kitchen.
My only complaint, (and it's just because of what I was used to with my last microwave), the express heat starts at 1 minute, rather than 30 secs.
It seems a good price when compared with other combi's of similar spec. Definitely recommend.

Summary : good value but a bit plastic
This is a good value little unit. The button panel is a wipe-clean surface. Controls are easy to use. For example, to cook for a minute just close the door and press start. Press start again to add extra 60 seconds to the time while cooking. Display is easy to use but some illumination would have been nice if the kitchen is dimly lit. While cooking, the food is of course illuminated in the oven. Includes glass turntable. This is good and changes direction each time you open the door. You can take it out to clean it, but it can be fiddly to get it in the right place on the spindle afterward.
Can defrost and cook if you set the right mode for the food inside, but the book could do with more examples of foods and times.
The door is hinged at the left and stops at 90 degrees. Door closing is very heavy though, and you need to push it so hard the whole unit sometimes moves on the worktop, and (due to a spring mechanism inside) the door closes with a very loud clunk no matter how carefully you close it.
Conclusion: It does plenty for the money, but loses out a little on the plasticy finish (which most microwaves seem to suffer from) and the awkward door.

Rating : 3 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Hinari Lifestyle 800w
A great looking stainless steel microwave which is not at all bulky and can fit easily under kitchen wall units. Performs well but in my opinion is not easy to learn to operate unless you have the instructions beside you.
There is no seperate defrost or reheat button. These functions are operated by repeatedly pressing power button several times to take you to the power level required.
This microwave lacks a quick start user guide printed on front face and for this reason I would certainly not recommend it for someone who is looking for an easy to control microwave.

Summary : Really good value for money and extremely useful.....
When my last microwave oven died I was in a desperate hurry to replace it. I looked everywhere for a full sized microwave oven and could not find one. I found this particular oven. It is large enough to defrost or cook large item, but I really hesitated before buying it. It had too many other functions associated with it for my taste. How could something possibly be a good microwave oven, a good grill and a good convection oven? In the end I bought this product only because of its size. However, it proved itself to be completely invaluable at the first big holiday meal. It is a good grill and a good convection oven (make sure it is fully preheated BEFORE use), as well as being a large, powerful microwave. I am so glad that I purchased this particular oven, and I highly recommend it to anyone. I have had my oven for nearly 1.5 years now. I have no complaints.

Title : Panasonic NNA883W Microwave
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Great combination oven from Panasonic
I chose this oven after extensive research, as I was disappointed with my previous Sharp combination oven.
The Panasonic has proved to be excellent. The microwave function is powerful and the Chaos defrost works quickly and evenly. The oven even prompts you to turn the food!
My big test of an oven is Yorkshire puddings, and both small and large puddings come out beautifully risen and crisp outside on convection only. Cakes also bake well.
The grill is also very quick, although you do have to move items around to get even browning.
Convection, microwave and grill can all be used independently or in various combinations, including "turbo bake" - all 3 at once!
The controls are easy to use - the only minor point to remember is that if you enter a time without selecting a function, you get microwave full power. There are plenty of programmes for specific dishes, although I haven't tried these yet, and standing times are included in these.
There are several accessories with the oven, including high and low circular racks, and two shelves, one wire and one solid. The solid one has proved really useful as a baking tray, for oven chips, heating sausage rolls etc. There are also a glass plate, a metal plate and a spatter guard for cooking fatty items. You do have to remember to use the glass plate only for microwaving, and put the metal plate over it for other cooking functions.
The oven capacity is not the largest available, but by using the accessories supplied I have been able to fit in all my dishes easily.
A great all-round combination cooker, suitable for both keen cooks and people who like convenience.

Summary : Nicole
I bought this because it was the largest microwave I could find. I wanted to get a really big bowl in for a recipe I use regularly and no other micro was big enough. The capacity of this one is gigantic, I can easily fit in the largest Pyrex mixing bowl I have.
I was not really interested in the combi grill part but it works really well, (baked potatoes are not soggy). I have to say I have not experimented too much as I have two Neff ovens that I use day to day so I don't think I have explored its full potential. I did try cooking crumpets with the quartz grill, rubbish results, so it does not replace the toaster.
The microwave is really powerful and I have successfully nuked the butter to a clarified swamp on several occasions, but the MS ready meals come up a treat.
The blurb says that it replaces an ordinary oven... not in my view.. it's an as "well as gadget" not an "instead of".

Summary : Cheap and good value
Bought this a few months ago and think it's a good buy. Buttons on the front are easy to use and easy to clean.
It cooks food - it's easy to clean.
