This cooker looks great at 1st glance, but it has a couple of flaws. The temperature is nice and even in the oven and cooks evenly. The noise though is really quite loud, you could only call it a vibration/humming noise and as the oven warms it gets louder, there is only really room for 2 racks in oven unless you are cooking something thin on bottom rack. The Ceramic hob discolours after just 1 use and it is under the glass so it looks quite ugly. The clock is easy to set and the full sized grill pan allows for plenty of space.
