    I stand corrected! That's very good - their description is not misleading in their favour!

    Instead, it looks like it contains no insulation :-(
    Time is an illusion - lunch time doubly so.

    The case will get hot when using the oven our old Sharp one got hot as well.

    Picked up mine this morning they sold 2 pallet loads by 09.30 !

    Yes, to be fair, if you are expecting it to remain as cool as a conventional microwave you're going to be surprised by how hot a combination device will inevitably get.

    We have a 12 year old Sharp at the moment so decided to replace it with this oven... what a bargain...

    My other'arf picked up ours this morning... I haven't seen or used it yet... but from what I have heard they were all gone before 10am.

    Went to my local Aldi only to find that they had sold out. Went and got some other bits and pieces and asked a member of staff if they were getting any more in. He pointed to what had been an empty space and said 'there is one there!'.

    Much embarassment from me as I went to get it. He said he had one put by out the back but it wasn't needed anymore. Wondered why but didn't stop to ask as I loaded it in my trolley.

    Looks an excellent buy for £59.99

    Id also check out tesco`s offerings. I bought a stainless steel microwave, 900w with grill for about 40quid from them the other week. Its tesco`s own brand but looks suspeciously like an hinari.

    I got the Aldi microwave today. :D

    It is a fantastic bargain :D

    This model is a full size one as well, not like those tiny ones you see in Tesco.

    I was looking at getting a Sharp or Panasonic for at least £120
    The build quality is actually better than a Panasonic I saw in Currys which had a bent door, and seemed quite flimsy.

    This microwave has saved me loads of money.

    I also bought the digital kitchen scales for £7.99 which are also brilliant :D

    Also bought electric nail/staple gun for £7.99

    Total spent £75.97 which is still cheaper than buying the similar microwave in Argos on it's own :D
  • also got this today.tried it out with a pizza tonight and it cooked it in 6 minutes (oven setting) . impressed.
