CHOICE Expert Rating View more details.

This overall score is made up of cooking performance (60%) and ease of use (40%).

Cooking performance score View more details.

We toasted bread to see how even the grill was, roasted a chicken to see how well and evenly it could roast and baked a fresh supermarket pizza to see whether it could give a crisp crust and moist topping.

Ease of use score View more details.

We looked at how easy it was to clean, how easy it was to understand and use the controls, how well the shelves moved and how stable they were and the number and type of shelves and trays.

Pizza cooking score View more details.

We reheat a large chilled supermarket pizza.

Chicken cooking score View more details.

We roast a 1.8kg whole chicken to assess baking a non-uniform food at moderate to high temperature over a long period while retaining moisture and crisping the skin.

Grilling toast score View more details.

We toasted bread to see how even the grill was.
