Whirlpool Flatbed Grill Microwave MWF421BL

A very simple to use microwave good for older people – I am impressed with this microwave’s simplicity. I think the version with the Crisp and Grill might be ideal for older people in a small unit - or the plain microwave version if you already have an oven.

short and simple. 2…The flat bed- easy to clean with a damp cloth. 3…The inverter system - heating food is much more even than old systems. 4…The dial - I love that, so easy to use and accurate, you can dial cooking time from 5secs to 90 mins. And you can dial the wattage too from 90 to 800W then just push the dial for OK. So much better than the button heavy machines. 5…The thawing program - you can dial in the type of meat plus weight or you can control it manually. 6… The instruction manual is short and easy to read - very straight forward, you will master the machine in a day. 7… There are other things like child lock, check the functions online. 8… Whirlpool’s reputation.

CONS: 1… The 24 hour clock, l would like a choice. 2…The grill is too weak and small to really grill anything effectively. I tried it but can’t see myself using it further. 3…? Not really a con but It is so similar to the ”Crisp and Grill" version online that I bought this one by mistake - so check carefully which model number you want.

It is 2 quartz hot lamp rods which initially stay on for 16 seconds, then cycle 13secs ON / 17 secs OFF. With a grill… Read more

more off than on, it is not possible to grill anything. After 3 minutes, a cold slice of bread was still a cold slice of bread - toast was an unfulfilled expectation. If this mw was available for a competitive price without the grill, I would reconsider re-buying. Not recommended due to grill dysfunction
