I've had this oven for a couple of months now. Here is a brief review of the pros and cons I have observed:
What I like:
- Easy to steam vegetables. before this oven, I was relegated to frozen veggies thrown in the microwave which didn't taste good. The steamed vegetables are always cooked to perfection. Moreover, butter, oils, and other unhealthy additives are not required.
-Easy to roast chicken. I never cooked a whole chicken in my life before. All I did was use a preprogrammed setting and it browned it on the outside and cooked moist on the inside. Again, no butter, oils, or other fattening additives are required to make it taste good.
- Great seafood from grilled salmon, to steamed clams and mussels.
- I haven't used my stove or oven since I bought this and my kitchen does not get greasy anymore.
It also functions as a normal oven for baking etc.
The negatives:
Has to be drained after every use. Not a big deal...the water reservoir has to be removed and a button pushed and the tray has to be emptied. Water accumulates in oven after use. A sponge removes it quickly...it is stainless steel which makes cleaning easy. Has to be descaled on occasion, similar to a coffee maker. There is always consensation on the inside unless you sponge the water out and towek dry it after every use. If I had to do it again, I'd definitely buy it!
