A wonderful little thing. Simple to operate, both oven and hobs heat up pretty quickly, although, and this is the only drawback, not in unison. No more microwave ready meals, thank goodness. This little cooker really is a fantastic buy. Would recommend to anyone.

I highly recommend it to anyone seeking top-tier quality and absolute reliability. This has been a fantastic investment!

Overall a great little oven which we have as our only means of cooking at home (gap in the cupboards for a stand-alone cooler in our rented home is narrower than any available uk cooker so we bought this and a little shelving unit to use instead!).It takes some getting used t the ‘knack’ of cooking with this and you can’t simply use it how you would a standard domestic cooker, so it’s a matter of relearning how to cook? The hob rings can be used individually or both at the same time, but don’t have a temperature control and are simply ON or OFF. They also can’t be used at the same time as the oven or grill (this is the most frustrating feature of this mini oven as if you’ve roasted something and want to cook some veggies you have to turn the oven off?!)The oven has a temperature control from 50-220•c but this is a lie 🤔 the oven is ON or OFF and the temperature control doesn’t do anything (so it’s sits at max all the time!). The 220•c definitely isn’t that hot and is probably somewhere around 180•c. The best way toControl the cooking temperature is to move the shelves up and down inside the oven, moving the food to the top for hotter temps etc? Food also takes longer to cook that is on the cooking instructions. HOWEVER, despite all this, we have managed a full Sunday roast in it with a whole chicken and trimmings and I’ve managed to bake cakes and bread and butter pudding. You can manage to cook big family meals in it but just have to get your head around how to get the best it this little oven first?The grill is great and have no problems with that.It has 4 shelf heights inside and comes with 1 grill pan/oven tray that slides in and 1 wire rack shelf. Be aware that because it’s not very wide a lot of standard oven trays won’t fit inside. It is however deceptively deep and fits in big 30cm diameter over dishes.The inside of the oven is really easy to wipe down and the outside has a nice matte black finish. However the job rings drive me mad as they are textured on the top meaning food gets stuck in all the holes?! They also rust after cleaning, even if you thoroughly dry them immediately after? I’ve even tried proper job ring cleaner to see if it prevented this rust but it it hasn’t?It’s has a dial to control temperature (but as previously mentioned ours stay at max), a dial to choose if you want to use the grill, oven, 1 x hob ring or both hob rings. The third dial turns to the left for ‘ON’ and the right to set a timer. Be aware that this timer turns the oven off completely when it sounds and isn’t just an auditory buzzer to tell you the times up.

This is heaven, it works fast to warm and bake food.would recommend it.Does the job well

Bought this for the kitchen in a property I'm renting instead of using a full size cooker.Theres definitely a technique to using it as the oven and hobs can't be on at the same time and there is no heat control with the hobs. I've found that the oven gives a more even heat if you use both the top and bottom elements with the fan rather than one element. It warms up very quickly. On the fan/both elements setting it cooks a 12"" pizza in about 18 minutes from frozen at 150 degrees. Oven chips in about 40 minutes from frozen at 150 degrees.With the lack of heat control on the hobs its a bit like cooking on a fire or barbecue where you need to take the pans off the heat to control the bubbling. I tend to cook on the small hob only and when the heat gets a bit much I put the pan half on and half off the neighbouring hob which lessens the heat. All in all it works well once you get used to it and along with a microwave I've used it to cook everything from curries to roast dinners since I bought it 10 months ago.

The oven is a good size for compact oven, you can fit two trays in there easily. It comes with a decent baking tray that fits in to make one cooking level and a wire rack that you can put another small baking tray on. You can set the timer so oven turns off on its own and as it is a compact oven it doesn’t take long to heat up.The downside is that the hot plates on top are either on or off, no heat control. You can’t use the hot plates when oven is on.It looks nice and it’s easy to clean and is great for our temporary kitchen while we are renovating our kitchen.

Ive now had this 4 months and i LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS . omg i sleep with it every night and the next day she cooks me the most perfect pies and steaks!! fantastic for singles or couples , suppose could be used for families tight on space . BUT OMG I ADORE!!!! EVERYTIME COMES OUT PERFECT !! and its not a bot giving this review for once lmao .Squee out!

You think with it being called a mini kitchen that you could use the oven and hotplate (hob) at the same time.... but you can’t also there is no temperature control for the hob it’s just hot no way to simmer!!! It comes in the largest heavy awkward box then inside that is the much smaller than you think box and the item itself is so light and tinny I am so terribly disappointed with this item. I thought with it being a good name it would be alright I knew it wouldn’t be like an actual cooker as it’s only for my granddad and he does not have much space and really only cooks for himself but even this is not enough!!! I was so chuffed when I got it for him because I thought his old one looked a bit tatie but when we pulled it out the box I was so embarrassed!!! PLEASE DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS PIECE OF RUBBISH. I’m just so glad amazon has an easy return policy
