I really love this cooker. Wasn't sure to start with as shelves were a bit stiff, however there is a way to use them. Hob, oven and grill are lovely to use and quick. The oven doesn't blast with heat like my old cooker did. Have already used the slow cook which is one of the reasons to buy this model. Also cooks/bakes evenly. Looks lovely too. Yes, definitely recommend.
