These type of ovens are great, not sure about this brand though. I had an Easicook for over 10 years before it died, it was brilliant. I used it all the time, never bothered to use the big oven.When it died, I decided to savesome $$$ and replace it with the cheaper brand from Countdown, not good as it blew up after a short time.They replaced it with a new one, no questions asked but the thermastat went on it within weeks, I got a refund in the end, again no questions asked.I also found that that brand were not as robust in quality as Easicoook, the cradle which houses the bowl was very flimsy in comparison. I now have a Zip model which I'm pleased with so far and the quality is on par with Easicook, I bought it at Briscoes.

Nauru many thanks for your comments.I guess you get what you pay for!Do you find it saves on your electricity account?Did the Zip one come with a good manual?Thanks!

Hi Lindy, yep, I agree, you do get what you pay for.Yes, using the convection oven over an ordinary oven definitely made a difference to our power bill.I really noticed the increase in the power bill when I had to use my big oven again until I replaced the convection one. The zip manual is just basic I'm afraid, but I use my Easicook one for times and recipes. I got a replacement manual from Easicook as I lost the original one during a house move, cost about $20, I think.
