Hello everyone, I have decided to buy a micro/convection oven. I want to do as much cooking as possible with it (long story concering o/h :mad: ) so it will need to be good enough, big enough to cope with a family of four?
Now, can any of you seasoned MOS's point me in the right direction because I cannot afford to make a mistake on this ;) There are so many to chose from so maybe one of you can recommend one?
Thank you
Carmen x

    I've been Money Tipped!
    We recently bought this one:
    PANASONIC NNA514A MICROWA from Currys (when I say recently, it was on Boxing Day as our microwave literally blew up on Christmas DAy ... thank goodness we've got a tier steamer)
    It is excellent. Can't remember how much we paid but rest assured we looked around and didn't pay over the odds (seem to remember we almost missed the Vicar of Dibley) ... and we're a family of four. I really liked the fact that it was about the only microwave we saw with a covered element.
    That's Numberwang!

    I second Panasonic as I have had one for a couple of years (replaced a Sharp). They are also a Which Best Buy for combination ovens - cook evenly and well.

    Yes they cost more but it should last you for years even with daily use. Mine heats up quickly (convection oven) and the microwave is even too. I don't use the grill per se but it does come on as part of the combi progrmas and I've never had any trouble with that either.
