I used rival models where the cooking compartment revolved and tumbled contents as an option. It was smaller therefore faster and easier to clean. This version takes much longer to cook. The results are good and I look forward to trying some recipes. The bowl is large and able to cook many things but if you have smaller items you are using energy to heat air which is a waste. It would help if a insert could be made to reduce the 12litre bowl to half size speeding cooking and energy use. I have made a bowl shape from Aluminium to make the air space in the bowl less. The accessories are good and welcome as they allow a variety of cooking. The glass bowl will lose heat whilst cooking but for watching the progress it is perfect. To clean it I used the clean option but it seemed pointless. You need to fill it with boiling water then run it and it leaves a bowl of slush which one will need to carry to a sink to empty. large and heavy and difficult to carry safely. I will wash the bowl in the sink in future. The plus's are good, relatively fast, defrosting option, variable temperature and cooking time. Able to watch cooking progress. I add these to balance my report. Would I buy a new one when require. Yes. I will be using this for baking soon. It is that versatile. Get one experiment and have fun cooking food.Read full review

After waiting longer than stated for the item to be delivered i unpacked item. Previously whilst waiting i went on You Tube to get an idea of use. My first use was a simple breakfast, bacon, sausage but it took well over 25mins but this time the sausage was overcooked so took that out whilst bacon continued when finished the sausage had to go into microwave to warm before being plated up, i was a bit annoyed but first time use and it will get better. The following day Sunday i chose pork steaks, they remained pale for a good 15mins some bubbling and colouring started so i turned them over as recommended eventually they browned. As for eating i found the pork tough which i think was the length of time to cook. I will persevere as there are a lot of good reports with halogen i can only hope with use i get better results. In no way is this a fault of the seller just the useage .Read full review

These are wonderful machines. Compact easy to use. Faster than a conventional cooker and with being on a work top and made of glass, it's easy to see what's happening to food as its cooking. This is the third one of these type I have had. I hardly use the main cooker these days. The only draw back is when the element goes its better to get a new one rather than fiddle about trying to change the element.

I am a great fan of halogen cookers. They are easy to use, clean and are very economical to run. As with most cookers you have to experiment to get the perfect results as to your liking but this is quickly achieved the more you use it. Food retains its flavour and is healthier cooked this way. I highly recommend this item. You don't need to pay for expensive ones either they all work the same regardless of the make.

I would have give the product 5*, if it not for the protective cover rust(as in photo), particles fall into the food whilst cooking. Probably caused when the lid is left on after it’s turned off, steam/condensation rises and gets trapped on the protective cover...this problem could also happen when cleaning cycle is used....But this problem can be solved I think by just allowing the fan and halogen left on to dry off any moisture or water.....hope this helps...This is my favourite appliance in the kitchen easy to use and clean with amazing results!
