It is well made and with the supplied two different heights grill grates and a coated pizza plates has many uses. We've already baked cake, cooked pizza and casseroles in - apart from the Good Morning buns that can be baking perfect and quite quickly with the preheating function.
The preheat can be Preheat the oven up to 250 degrees (with convection and grill). When the desired temperature is reached, it sounds briefly and then the number of degrees for 10 minutes is maintained. After preheating you choose but in fact the actual desired program, with which you want to work on.
The cake (in a 28-round baking pan) is good and fluffy become, however, has taken a little longer than specified in the recipe. The advantage of the device is mainly for smaller households, which must fire up the big oven not always to be aufzubacken something to grill or cook.
Our large oven we use only when things do not fit into our small heat-up. A guide with various products and cooking times helps the first orientation. The main functions are, however, also printed again on the inside of the door, so not the manual must always be used.
If the machine will fit into a cabinet, it is important that the right and left and above and above will be enough space, because heating up the microwave in the hot air mode.
The only thing missing in the device with the Steam-clean function and the combination of hot air grill, which can not be selected separately to the pre-heating function (there according to my research on comparable devices but may not). For this, the device offers the possibility to strong-smelling food preparations to vent the oven. I personally have not yet taken advantage of this option.
The size of the cavity is absolutely sufficient to place larger casserole dishes in it. The big brother of the microwave, the Samsung CE-1185UB, while offering more space, but also costs much more equal.
The operation at the 'little brother' is also quite simple. For example, the temperature in the hot air mode can be selected through repeatedly pressing the hot air button. Can be extended to up to 99 minutes over a dial to the timer. Once you've looked up that symbol stands for what, the operation is actually quite simple. Only the times (eg for thawing a certain amount food) would have possibly read it again.
I highly recommend this unit definitely and would decide in each case again for the purchase. Especially since the price with 179, I paid, is very acceptable for such a combined unit.
