POWER RATING

800 Watts is pretty powerful for a small, cheap microwave. It certainly heats well enough and fast enough.

Hinari Lifestyle Microwave Oven/Grill
If you are looking for a neat looking, compact microwave oven, then look no further. Hinari have released a “Lifestyle” range of products for the domestic use, which the microwave is part of. The microwave is compact, and has a white enamel finish on the bodywork, allowing you to clean the oven easily. The front of the microwave is made out of a white plastic which has the usual tinted windowed ... ...The door has a small recessed handle making it easy to open. On the right hand side of the front face are two controls. The top control is the timer and the bottom control is the mode selection.
The microwave is a combination of oven and grill. The oven is rated at 800W, and the grill is rated at 1000W. This means that the oven is fairly quick at cooking compared to the lower power rated ovens, such as 600W and 700W microwave ovens.

Advantages: Can programme time to the exact second required. Disadvantages: Quite small.
...go, still I put the Hinari into storage reluctant to part with it. My instincts were spot on, I blew up the new microwave after 4 months of use, I only asked it to cook for a minute and it blew all the electrics in the house, so needless to say out came the old microwave and I'm happy again.

The Hinari lifestyle Microwave is quite compact and lightweight, it comes in a choice of white or silver grey and is made up of a mix of metal and plastic casing. As with all microwaves it has a glass turntable that turns on plastic runners.
The microwave is most widely available online for about £44.99, it is unlikely to be widely available in stores as it is an older model and stores always stock the newest designs.

Nuke em baby Review ofHinari Lifestyle Microwaveby

Advantages: It nukes well Disadvantages: but then I know nothing about cooking
...a kitchen appliance - my Hinari Lifestyle Microwave.
Be warned this one isn't going to be easy - at the end of the day, its a box it nukes my food and thats about it, but we shall attempt to elaborate, it was about 3 years ago that our last monstrosity went to the great electrical store in the sky, now that was a disaster believe me but we had to get on with our lives and (sob) find a replacement, thats when we went into our local branch of Currys ... ...for them?, have no fear Hinari is here!, another handy little feature is a child-proof code you can tap in so no illegal nuking is going on, luckily I'm old enough to know better so surprisingly up to now I haven't had any need to use this feature, but for the purpose of this opinion I did try it out, sadly the Aberdeen football shirt grandma bought me for my 21st birthday didn't get nuked, and I was going to blame it on the dog as well.

Advantages: All types of cooking in one oven and a Child-proof lock Disadvantages: Not large enough for big families, but would be good as a backup
...My old microwave was looking worse for wear so decided to look for a new one. As my main cooker had a grill included in the oven, which I find very inconvenient at times, I thought a microwave/grill combination would be my best bet.
I visited Comet and found that there was a huge variety of ovens available, but one stood out amongst them and that was the HINARILifestyle Model MX780CEG. It did more than I originally wanted - Microwave, Grill and Convection, with a microwave/grill and microwave/convection combinations - but at the very reasonable price of £54.99 it looked a very good buy.
As you can see from the picture above it is an attractive looking oven and with outside dimensions of 458w x 295hx488dmm and oven cavity dimensions of 309w x 206h x 334dmm, it is not that much larger than a convensional microwave oven...
