Who has a convection microwave? Brand/model? What do you like about it? Dislike? Does it have an air fryer function? Easy to clean? Longevity? Give me some recommendations, or things to avoid.

I have the Combi Wave from Breville. Simply amazing like everything from that brand. Too much to rave about. Used daily.

Did you look at the Panasonic Home Chef 4-in-1? That's the other one on my short list. I've had a Cuisinart MW-200 for nearly 13 years, and I've been happy with it except the controls are anything but intuitive and it's annoying to clean, but it's started to give off a melting smell when using convection. I think it's time for a replacement, but I can't complain since I only paid $200 for it.
Thanks for your help. |

Really? I searched in this forum for convection microwave and turned up one thread from 2015.

We have a Miele speed oven.
Microwave or convection—cannot do both at same time.
I have it programmed for certain foods to microwave first and then switch to convection.
Recommended.

More research discovered that the Panasonic is supposedly PTFE-free, while the Breville has a non-stick, non-replaceable air fryer pan. Since I have birds, this is a pretty important consideration. The Panasonic should arrive in a couple of days.

Me, I'd stick with a single-purpose convection oven and a single-purpose nuker. Multi purpose tools rarely work as well as the single-purpose ones.

Had one a long time ago. Tried to use the convection mode for baking potatoes (seemed like a good idea because it was smaller than the regular oven).
It kept overheating when used that way. Next time I got a plain old ordinary microwave and use the large oven for baked potatoes.
(By the way- yes, you can cook potatoes in the microwave but they are not as good.)

I'd say an oven that overheats when you try to use it as an oven is a bad product. |
