Is 28 litres as opposed to 27 that important Zirk?  Just cut down on your meal sizes!

But, if that is important these are the Micro's available currently from Amazon, but some of the prices are far worse than £150!

As for the child lock: never used it, never will and in fact never noticed mine had one!

[aaronjb]

Child lock doesn't lock the door, just locks out the buttons..

My favourite button is the "Chaos Defrost" button, just because of the name.

Mine has one of those; what does it do?

[aaronjb]

Apparently it's just a fancy defrost.. I googled - random pulses of microwaves to auto defrost (based on weight) more evenly.

[Bigron]

Ta.

[YZ250]

No, not hype; they are well worth having. Mine's a Panasonic "Inverter" model and the grill isn't fantastic, but works ok and is very useful for plate-warming. The convection oven part is terrific,
.................

Same here.    Oven and microwave great but I've never been shown how to use the grill part. 

[zirk]

Ok, didn't realise how expensive the non rubbish ones are 

Made some calls, through a contact I can get one of these for £79.95 -

Ex Display, no box or Manuals, not fussed about that, but new and full guarantee, what do you think?

I got a Kenwood oven a few weeks ago, (not the same model as link). Was 1/2 price (90 quid). Great bargain. Currys.

Yes,that is OK as it is a Kenwood, a brand I like.  But it is 'only' 25 litres and I thought you wanted 28 and lacks the chaos defrost

But if you like it for 1/2 price you cannot really go wrong with that

I hope you are joking? It's simple; press the grill button (no power options), tell it how long to grill on the timer buttons and leave it to get on with it.
Ten minutes makes plates really toasty to keep your brekkie warm, but don't bother toasting bread!

White goods are her department so I don't really need to understand it.   Ours says 'Grill 1-2-3 so is much more confusing.   

One thing I do know is that if you put a casserole dish with foil on in it and select microwave, you will get the best indoor firework display ever. The downside is that your house will smell like you've had an electrical fire and you have to buy a new microwave ..... ummm .... errr ...... allegedly. 

[TheBoy]

Ours is a Panasonic Inverter model, microwave/convection/grill, and does the job.

Its a bit too complicated for me, but she doesn't grumble about it.


It does do one of the best microwave baked spuds I've tasted, by using microwave and grill in unison.  Obviously still not a real baked spud, but close, and only 14mins.

[omegod]

I do baked spuds in the slow cooker, chuck em in on low when going to work and they are deeeeeeeeeeeeeeelicious when I get in

It's a spud.....with burnt skin.
