I would be interested if anyone has one of these and your thoughts. Is it worth the extra dollars to have the grill function? Many thanks.

I don't use the grill much on mine , but use the convection oven all the time. I love it. Mind you there is only me.

Two of us, love my sharp one. Use the convection oven all the time, hardly use the grill only for cheèse on toast etc. Only thing i dont like with mine is the microwave is 800watt my old one was 1200 wt. Mine has a weight defrost function, which is good for defrosting meat etc if i forget to take it out of the freezer.

Yes. Go more dollars, you can get steam too. But as your only microwave? - debatable as usually combos, are lower power on microwave only, so slower when using only that function.

I got my first combination cooker back in the 80s. And until it died recently, I still had a convection microwave oven which baked and grilled superbly. But I didn't use it except for microwaving after getting a gas oven and cook top. So my advice is it depends on how much you like your other cookers.

What are you wanting out of it?
I don't use the grill often, the microwave and convection side of things get hammered. My husband commented at one stage that I barely used the big oven.
I still use the big oven sometimes, but not so much.
Oh, I have a Panasonic.

if its any help using my combo little oven has dropped the power bill down quite a bit. But its small, and probably not work if your cooking for a large family.

Probably not. Depends on what you want to grill and how often. Other appliances could be used.
