As for negatives, reviews haven't given any pain points for us to discuss. But, we suppose, it's primarily an oven with a microwave function, which may not be what you are looking for.

However, one customer says it is smaller internally than previous models and, apparently, does not come with a tray for grilling (which may not be ideal if you love cheese on toast under the grill). Another customer says that the dials could be a little more robust - so, be gentle.

More like an oven than a microwave, this integrated appliance doesn't have a turntable and features a drop-down oven door - great for larger and heavier dishes.
