Microwave with oven/grill

calismum · 05-01-2011, 09:13 PM

My microwave beeped for the last time yesterday. It is ancient so have decided to replace.

I was going down the microwave only route as I'm not sure I like the idea of it being a grill and oven. We tend to use it mainly to heat beans or a quick ready meal. Just wondered if anyone on here has any thoughts either way?

Edited to apologise for title - have Izzi 'helping'

Can't help, don't have one, CM.

My microwave is probably used just like yours, but a friend swears by the oven type with grill and browning dish.

Guess it would be a useful option .... no idea how much they cost though.

Cm take a look at the new panasonic microwaves, I think they now do one without the stupid turn table. I think they also do this range with a grill.

They are usually well made I had my mums first microwave and I think it lasted for about 20 years lol

Mine s merely a microwave and I use it in a similar way to you. A couple of friends have the oven/micro combo and they swear by it.

my mum had one for ages, there pretty good and as the capacity isn't that big they heat up really quickly, so its probably cheaper to use the oven in the microwave than heat your full sized oven up.

We've just got a nice siemens compact oven/microwave to go next to our full sized oven in our new house, so doing away with a microwave stuck on our work top
