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.

As with all microwaves it has a glass turntable that turns on plastic runners.

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. Now here ... Read review

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 HINARI Lifestyle 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...
