Despite a higher initial cost, the robust build quality and multi-function convenience make this appliance a highly valued investment for modern kitchens.
Know before you buy
While it is highly versatile, its 1.1 cubic foot capacity is best suited for smaller meals, side dishes, or baking for 1-2 people. It functions excellently as a secondary oven for roasting or air frying, but it may not accommodate large holiday roasts or multiple baking sheets at once.
Traditional microwaves cycle power on and off to regulate heat, which can lead to uneven cooking or rubbery textures. The Power Smoothing Inverter provides continuous, steady power at your chosen level, resulting in more consistent heating and better preservation of food texture.
Yes, it uses the PowerGrill element and convection fan to circulate hot air, producing crispy results comparable to dedicated air fryers. Because the chamber is larger than a typical countertop air fryer, you may need to adjust your cooking times slightly for optimal crispiness.
The unit measures 20.43 inches wide, 12.5 inches high, and 21 inches deep. Be sure to leave a few inches of clearance on all sides to allow for proper ventilation during convection and air frying modes.
Yes, the Fast Combi function intelligently combines the microwave, convection, and grilling elements to cook food significantly faster than a traditional oven. It is specifically designed to reach target temperatures quickly while ensuring the exterior of your food browns properly.
Yes, you can use metal pans when using the convection or air fry settings. However, you must only use microwave-safe glass or ceramic containers when using the microwave-only function to avoid electrical arcing.
