Amazon was the cheapest option for this microwave. Curry’s and Beko out of stock and dearer. Super combi microwave. Cooks more evenly. Very pleased with it. Been happy with all my beko products.
I love it. I have not used my oven since I got it. It is so much quicker to cook in then my fan oven. Still getting used to it. Cooked pizza last week using the program and it was cooked to perfection.
Can someone please advise. Manual says it should come up GR2 or GR3 but mine doesnt. Also Grill element does not stay red but goes off and is just warm. when in either mode.
when I first saw the microwave I thought it looked huge but it was just the right size to put on the worktop and have some room to spare.
I have only used the microwave function so far. It can be programmed or use the quick start feature .
The microwave looks good.
Happy so far.
Background: I wanted an inexpensive combination oven.
The Good:
* Device fairly simple, has three base modes. Microwave, Grill and Convection Oven and then combo (Micro+Grill and Micro+Oven).
* HOT, There seems to be some disagreement with Output Power on these pages. It would appear it is 1KW (micro). Some items will need the power turned down. Simples – steps in 100 Watts (therefore P90 is 900 watt, P80 is 800 etc etc)
* Bigger is better if you have space [in my view]. I can stick a whole oblong pizza in and it can still rotate freely on the pizza deck (which it should).
* Stainless Steel (or some alloy?) interior. This is perfect, paint can chip and then this metal spark but this is very easy to clean.
The questionable:
* People have suggested the oven doesn’t cook evenly. I haven’t experienced this yet, the pizza was perfect but I always extend the time slightly against the instructions for a well cooked meal.
* Never tried combo; how would I even calculate that? I dare say there will be some “trial and error” down the road.
* This is an excellent budget device (I couldn’t see anything even close on the market). I do expect to see not quite perfect corners on the outside paneling. This doesn’t concern me – function over form.
2 small dislikes, cavity light poor, control knob to sensitive, otherwise it’s an excellent item,good value, easy to use, Xmas turkey fit’s in nicely.
Very large
Deliberately chosen for interior coating (fed up with slightly cheaper, specifically Breville, microwaves which have paint/power coat problems with their interior).
Also bought for interior size, which is huge but be aware…there is an heating element that nudges the top of the bag of microwave rice.
Alternatives of same spec were 75% more expensive in shops when I checked.
