Convection and grill functions inadequate
2/5
This is an amendment of my previous review of this model soon after I bought it. I compared it unfavourably then with my previous Panasonic combination microwave but gave it 4 stars. With more experience, my opinion of it has gone down substantially. The convection function is inadequate since the oven is much hotter at the top than lower down which makes it unsuitable for most kinds of baking and the grill is not nearly hot enough, eg a gratinee dish put under it was not browned on top in 12 minutes. I would love to have my old one back and working. It was perfect for baking in small batches and, unlike its replacement, I could get 2 "shelves" of rolls, tarts or scones in it at once. I dare not attempt a cake in this thing. It is not worth the risk of wasting the ingredients.
