    I have had mine for 3 years and wouldn't be without it as I live on my own and saves heating a large oven for myself!

    the make of combination micro makes a world of difference. You usually get what you pay for with these. I don't imagine argos sell any of the better quality makes (sorry argos lovers) ;)

    It is unwise to pay too much but it's worse to pay too little. When you pay too much, all you lose is a little money... that is all. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do. The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot...it can't be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better (John Ruskin - 19 ctry author, art critic & social reformer)

    I bought a delonghi one in Argos last week for £70 (reduced from £90). I only bought it for the campervan but it seems grat for the money

  • All the combination microwaves I've used have taken ages to heat up the grill. It's not worth using, unless you don't have a cooker.
