Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Best-selling in Halogen Ovens
I bought this to replace my Visicook Crisp and Bake and was gutted when I found out it was discontinued. I spent days researching to find something as good. There's very few with hinged lids and I feel that's a phenomenally important feature. The kids are heavy and hot and sufficient work space needed if to place it on. This does have a hinged lid 👍 And it high powered at a 1400 watts 👍 It came with an impressive amount of accessories and tools, including a new heating element. It's digital and has more programmes than my previous machine and these are a welcome upgrade. My only criticism is the quality of finish isn't to the same standard. The button on the side to put the lid down is small and slightly awkward. And the black plastic finish mainly at the rear looks cheap with rough edges; it looks as though they've forgotten to finish it. It's a shame as I'd have given it 5 stars otherwise. Overall, it does as it should and therefore pleased. We are a family of 3 and two are teenagers. We all eat at different times and it's honestly not economical to use the oven/cooker/grill. This is perfect for one person, but I can easily manage to cook for 3 with it too. I only use my oven a few times a year for Christmas etc. Definitely well worth the money 🌟🌟🌟🌟Read full review

Initially oven looks good but on using for a week or so there are some issues which could become annoying. The hinged lid has become loose where it pivots and the lid has failed to stay in the up right position and crashed down and the halogen bulb is so bright it could be better covered and lastly there is no pause facility when cooking which is ideal to keep the remaining cooking time/temp if you get interrupted.

I bought the model with a hinged lid after my 'standard' model went bang. I often had problems with where to put the 'hot' bits when unloading it, (and the riser began to drop off and roll away), so thought the hinge type would be an improvement. It is, but you do need space above (i.e. no cupboards over) to open it. However, it is just as easy to touch a hot part, so some care is still required. It might be just mine, but sometimes the cut-off switch when you open it does not cut back in when you close the lid, preventing operation. A bit of a jiggle usually works to reset it. Annoying, but not debilitating. The digital settings are easy to operate and obviously more accurate than the more common clockwork timer and analogue temperature knob. It also has a stop button, plus when opening the lid it will 'pause' without losing the settings, so you can turn things and continue from where you were. (the clockwork timer just kept running regardless). Typically of a halogen, where the heat is 'top down' and very efficient, there is a learning process for how hot and how long to cook. I have had more than one 'extra crispy' meal! Overall a good product, quick and simple cooking.Read full review

Easy to use , easy to clean extremely versatile and economical to use. The hinged lid is a great benefit as you don't have to think about where you put it like the non hinged type. Clean the plate after every use to stop it from rusting We use this for everything from bacon sausages and eggs to a full Sunday roast ,brilliant for Yorkshire puds and baking too. Hardly use the main oven as it can all be done in this , large capacity bowl and very easy to keep clean. Don't know how we manged without one. Comes with a spare lamp which is easy to change.

This is my 3rd halogen oven but my 1st one with a hinged lid and although I love the idea of not having to find a worksurface to place the hot lid on when I have finished cooking I do find it very awkward to use. Lifting the lid to the raised position is not easy at all as you have to squeeze a lever and push a button at the same time with the same hand while lifting the lid NOT EASY especially if you have weak hands or arthritis.
