I’d read a lot of the reviews here before I made a decision and I’m glad I disregarded the negative comments. I often wonder about the ability of ppl to cope in the world - and the reviews seem to reinforce that
Why did I buy this? I had a toaster oven but wanted a microwave, wasn’t specifically after an air fryer but I had room for only one appliance and it had to be small for this space
So far I’ve used it in all modes in the 2 w I’ve had it and I like it a lot. The microwave power is less than a full size unit (what, you don’t say) so yes it take a bit longer to reheat. It’s toasts well which was where I thought it might fall down (I use the F1 preset and run for 5 min). The combi cooking mode also works well. For the price this appliance packs a punch
As far as criticisms in other reviews:
“It’s small”. Yes it is and the description and measurements are pretty clear
“I had a hard time getting things out”. Ok. It’s small. Use oven mitts and be careful
“The manual wasn’t clear”. Ok it’s not a hand holding sort of manual. But it is all there, and if you read it carefully and look at the recipes at the back as examples of HOW to use the features, it’s a big help. Could the manual be clearer? Absolutely yes
“It was hard to see the buttons etc”. Totally legit. This could do with an illuminated panel as it is hard to read in low light. Also, it’s not really clear where to push on the panel. That’s been a bit of trial and error.
Having said all of this, I think it’s a great bit of kit for the buck.
