Recommended Combination Microwave

czajunia

Can someone recommend a decent combination microwave with a fan assisted oven? I am looking for the one that has an oven which doesn't take ages to warm up.

There are many choices out there but it's rather hard to find decent reviews. Most of the ones I found mention that many current combination microwaves have ovens which are much slower to heat up than older ones for whatever reason.

Currently I am tempted by Russell Hobbs RHM3003B but wanted to check if there are any other recommendations and what are your thoughts about this one.

Many thanks.

This oven gets very good reviews from users on Amazon.

If time to heat is your priority look for a higher rated oven.

Panasonic Dimension 4 used to be the go to brand for combos.

I would start with Panasonic if looking for a new one.

"Which" ranks Panasonic as the make to buy.

Our Panasonic microwave (not a combi, just microwave with grill) is 21 years old and still working as well as the day we bought it.

When we replace it it will be with another Panasonic. My mother has a Panasonic combi (about 3 years old) and loves it.

I only wish we'd weathered as well as the microwave!

We have this one in silver:

We have had this for about a year and use it all the time and have been very pleased with it.

Many thanks for your input. Looks like Panasonic gets a lot of love around here. Will definitely check it out.

As this is the only specific recommendation, could you please tell me how long it takes (roughly) for the oven to reach about 180-200C? Cheers.

What's the advantage of a flatbed over turntable? Apart from being easier to clean that is.
