Microwave Combination Ovens - My Personal Shortlist

!±8± Microwave Combination Ovens - My Personal Shortlist

The following combination microwave ovens made it onto my personal shortlist after some investigation and reading of user reviews and ratings. If you are after a microwave oven it is worth finding out which ones are reliable and value for money.

Panasonic NNCF778S flat bed combination microwave.

The NN-CF778 SBPQ combination oven has no turntable so you don't have to choose a plate small enough to rotate. That's what partly accounts for this machine's 27-litre capacity, giving you a large usable oven space to fill with large dishes. You also get true combination cooking with microwave, grill & convection oven.

Some features include:

1300 watt grill to cook an entire roast dinner in a flatbed microwave. Stainless steel cavity with 2 cooking levels. Energy saving mode. 6 power levels. Turbo defrost. Touch control. Child lock.

Some specs include:

1000W (I.E.C.) Inverter Microwave 1300W quartz grill with three settings and 1400W fan assisted convection oven Oven temperature range 40°C then 100-250°C Stainless steel lining with catalytic self-clean back plate

General Electric Profile Advantium 120 SCA1001KSS

The primary benefit of the SCA1001KSS over other speedcook ovens is that this model runs on 120-volt electric power. You can install this model, plug it into an existing over-the-range outlet and start cooking immediately.

However having said that, you should choose the 240-volt model if possible for its better performance if you are not limited to a 120-volt outlet. Otherwise the Advantium 120 makes a good choice over a simpler microwave.

This oven offers a superior array of features. The Advantium 120 offers 100 pre-programmed food selections, a sophisticated help program and a recipe saver for your personal favorites. A high performance sensor monitors moisture in foods and stops cooking at precisely the right time. Using this sensor can virtually eliminate ruining foods in the microwave.

A two-speed ventilation fan provides a maximum of 300 cfm - the norm for ovens of this kind. The cooktop lighting is provided by our favorite light source for this purpose: a bright, effective halogen light source.

Pros: Runs on 120 volt power, excellent sensor, superior lighting

Cons: Less powerful than 240 volt models

A happy user wrote: "My Advantium preheats in roughly 5 minutes. It cools down very fast and I have not had any problem using it as a microwave right after using it as an oven. (I'm using it now on the countertop during the temporary kitchen phase. A real godsend!)"

Other models worthy of investigation are:

SamsungCE137NTM Combination microwave oven.

Sharp R898 1850 Watts Convection / Microwave Oven.

The Advantages of Inverter Power Generators

!±8± The Advantages of Inverter Power Generators

Power generators are increasingly becoming a must-have in many aspects of human lives. From providing the backup power needs of homes and business to providing electricity during recreational activities that involves going to far-flung destinations where there are electrical power, generators have become the essential pieces of equipment to have.

Inverter generators are a relatively new technological innovation as far as power generators are concerned. They are basically similar to the traditional non-inverter types but with one twist, it gives the generator the capability to vary its engine speed depending on the load so that it can save more on fuel and also reduce the noise generated. Like its non-inverter counterparts, it also utilizes the principle of a rotating magnetic field on a coil of wire to generate electricity. The difference lies in the fact that the output in an inverter generator is created by a 3-phase inversion process from alternating current to direct current and back to alternating current. The final phase produces that so called "clean power" that these types of generator are becoming more popular for.

Also, the magnets used in the generator engine have been changed into smaller yet powerful ones that enabled manufacturers to reduce the size of the units; which in turn makes the equipment lighter, smaller and definitely more portable.

And since the generator is producing clean and stable electrical current, it is considered very suitable for powering delicate and voltage-sensitive electronic systems like computers, laptops, etc. Although non-inverter generators are also considered suitable for this type of job (they also produce nice and pure sine wave currents), an extra layer of safety is still very welcome.

One disadvantage seen in this type of power generators is its price. Currently, it is significantly more expensive compared to its non-inverter counterparts but this may be attributed to the fact that it is a fledgling segment and a relatively infant technology. There are cheap inverters available in the market but they may be of low quality and may not really produce the "clean power" that they are known for.

If you are going to buy an inverter type power generator, it might be a good idea to stick to the top brands for now. They may be more expensive but you get the quality you should expect from such equipment.
