Pros: Inexpensive
Cons: steams up
"A good sized oven, easy to clean and attractive looking. Lots of features, most of which I havent' used yet. The only drawback is that it steams up easily inside, preventing you from seeing the food cooking."

Pros: Inexpensive, Compact, Durable
"Does what it says on the tin!
Large capacity, excellent microwave.
With secondary convection and grill performance -adequate but not as good as purpose built oven or grill = a compromise.
Helping me get by - without a kitchen.
Laskys ordering = perfect.
Very fast and efficient.
Ordered on line, delivered to the door brilliant!

Pros: Inexpensive
Cons: under-performs
"I particularly wanted a good conventional cooking oven (as well as a microwave) rather than use my large oven for small items. However, at the highest set temperature of 230 degC it never got hot enough for certain foods. I tested the temperature with a gauge when set to max and it plateaued at 195 degC. This was not good enough causing me to request a change to a make that could acheive the conventional set temperatures. The microwave side performed well."

Pros: Inexpensive
Cons: unreliable, instruction book poor
"Family sized oven with large cooking capacity, looked attractive and a good price. Microvave worked okay ( to start with), good grilling ability, instuction book a little vague when it came to combination cooking, if you are looking to vary the cooking temperature of the oven as well as adjust the output of the microwave in this mode then you should pay a little more and buy another model.
control panel cluttered and confusing at times, ours only lasted a month before breaking down, took my own advise and bought another make and model with all the facilities we were looking for.
Barely average product not what I would expect from a reputable brand like Hitachi

Pros: Inexpensive, very large capacity/spacious interior
"Overall a brilliant buy. Attractive although a little bit bulky but thats because of the very large capacity-ideal for baby bottle microwave sterilisers etc! Great range of functions. Easy to use and clean. Fab price compared to other similar products. Must confess that this is our second one-but just a one-off fault (I hope!) as our original one the glass turntable broke during use of convection oven function, but Laskys replaced the whole microwave, and, touch wood, no problems since! I would highly recommend this item, and I have used many microwaves!"

"Having looked for a a large microwave we found it impossible to just get one that did not have the bells and whistles.
On going to the Laskys site we were able to find a large microwave with the bells and whistles at a very affordable price. We are very happy and the delivery was very quick. Thank you Laskys.

Pros: Inexpensive, Compact, Durable
"My wife had looked at various microwave ovens with a convection oven included but the prices were around £150. Used pricerunner and came up with the Hitachi that we bought, and it does everything that the more expensive machnines did, but more much less dosh.
Only complaint is it is difficult to read the digital display with the sun shining out on it here in Spain.
Good buy, good service from Laskys, goodbye (adios!)"
