Good Points
Installed it myself (female) , very easy to build into compartment 600mm wide, just slide into position and 4 holding screws on front but hidden away under door when closed. Very large oven and rotating plate, will cook anything from a large casserole to a turkey, or smaller. Very easy clean stainless steel interior, good safety features and optional child lock to prevent mis-use, 30 second delay system, grill will drop down to clean behind. After microwaving you can use the grill to brown your foods or use it at the same time as microwaving. 3 power selectors up to 1000 watts, and defrost. Very pleased with purchase.
Bad Points
You have to put a plug on yourself (but this eases feeding cable through a hole drilled in cupboard if required). Booklet is simple and straightforward, but doesn't give comprehensive guide to cooking foods on different power settings i.e. a guide is given for some meats and veg but not for cakes and bread etc. I had to buy a microwave oven book for this, difficult to find. A good one from Waterstones gives cooking times for most foods using a choice of power settings, with tips on water required and turning food during cooking, which can be used with any conventional recipe book.
