Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Does what it claims
Solid, well made, good for microwave or convection oven cooking, top and bottom grills, no more easy or difficult to use (or clean) than any other similar. My last Sharp ran and ran for nearly nine years, looks like this one could do the same. Good saving on high street price, you could do a lot worse.

Summary : Works well, but the timer....
Works just like it says on the box.
Even cooking and simple to use.
Robust and well built.
Annoying fact: The timer is fixed, 1, 3, 5 minutes etc.
So if the Chicken Vindaloo says 4 mins, stir and 4 mins, you end up just doing 5 mins, stir and 3 mins instead because you can't be bothered to clock watch.
Still it does cook exceedingly good Vindaloos....

Rating : 4 Stars out of 5.
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.

Summary : Not impressed
I bought this microwave combination oven in August 2004 to replace my beloved 15 year old Sharp microwave combination oven. What a difference in quality! Firstly, the oven never seemed to reach the correct temperature. Now, the LCD display has packed up after a power cut. I've checked reviews on the web and I see I am not alone in having exactly these problems. It did cook great baked potatoes, but I wont be rushing out to buy a Sharp combi oven again.

Summary : damn this thing to hell
I hate this microwave if you want to just grill something but it resets halfway through and you end up filling your kitchen with toxic black smoke.

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.

Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Excellent value
I've had Panasonic microwaves for years and you won't be dissapionted with this one. The stainless steel interior means it should last for 10 years plus. Controls are simple to use - delay/stand button is usefull (makes a good kitchen timer). Cooks efficiently and evenly. Display prompts you for information when programming. Has preset programmes to cook various foods by weight.
Simple effective design, quality manufacturing. It's all you need.
