Thank you, the one you bought sounds good but a bit to big for me, but will look into the others in your links and on the other thread, thanks again.

(You may be replying to grahambriggs792 rather than me, so apologies if I've misunderstood)

Woops, Liked when I was trying to hit reply. My sister has a Russell Hobbs solo microwave, may be the same as yours (Russell Hobbs RHM2080BR) https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B008YGRJ3S - got it for her for around £11!! from Amazon Warehouse a few months back.

It's noisy, it has the dreaded mirrored door you hate (and she hates), and she, like you, found the dial rather difficult to use at first. She's reasonably happy with it.

I'd love to recommend an ordinary microwave but I haven't bought a solo microwave for years (to be honest, I hardly use the grill, oven function is infinitely more useful).

Did you find any good none combi one's that are 900-1000w microwave power, that are push button rather than dial?

Not necessary anti comb apart from price and over kill?

I did get a Russel Hobbs for about £52 in Amazons 20% off warehouse sale.

Possibly the worlds most irritating microwave.

Could not get my mind around the dial.

Looked lovely - But a REAL finger print magnet.

I would have read the manual about the dial but the complete show stopper was, you could not see inside it because of the mirrored door - WTF

It's a shame about the Panasonics as there is a nice one at Amazon but from the reviews it really sucks; reviews on the Panasonic site suck even harder!

This one (there's a newer model that also has a Steam function), 32L and Flatbed Panasonic Premium NN-CF853W Combination https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Grill-Oven-Microwaves/Panasonic-Premium-Combination-Litre-1000-Watt-White/B00F9A6AY6

It's built like a tank and a bit of a monster but I was able to rearrange the kitchen to find a home for it. I was told the "Slimline" size is a sign that a "Combination" model doesn't have a genuine fan oven, as these gadgets need extra room at the back to accomodate it.

However, I nearly bought this one (27L and also with a Flatbed) at the recommendation of RustySpoons (after moaning on Ask about my problems with the cheap Panny Combis a while back): Panasonic NN-CF778SBPQ Family Size Combination Microwave Oven, 1000 W - Stainless Steel https://www.amazon.co.uk/Panasonic-NN-CF778SBPQ-Family-Combination-Microwave/dp/B001HN6QS4

Here's the aforementioned thread with my experience of cheaper Panasonic Combi models: http://www.hotukdeals.com/ask/panasonic-nn-ct552wbpq-combi-microwave-oven-condensation-issues-now-dead-after-a-2355805

Which one was that please.I am after a good combination microwave.

These are rubbish. Says combination oven. In reality it only has a grill. Try to oven cook something and it just burns the top, whatever the setting. Get one with a proper fan oven with seperate element at the rear. I got the Samsung one from Argos which was around the same price.

Just looked at this and it's saying £129.... ????

price everywhere now over £120

Mine came it's only the size of a small human

HI, are you sure its the same model, same price on Amazon and says it a true fan assisted oven,thanks

Very good deal and stainless steel interior is a must imo

yes when the lights on inside while cooking
Then only thing that puts me off is the fact they the door are mirrored. You will end up with lots of finger marks which are pain is the back for cleaning

Yes.

I have got this microwave well worth the money heat from me

Hot! Have had my Russell Hobs combination microwave for 4+ years and it is still working great. Paid £75 for mine back then, but it is only 25l.

looking at the reviews both at Amazon and Argos, very good praises! i have ordered mine, will see how it works out!

Does mirrored door mean you cannot see inside when cooking.

any good?
