Geniuses didn't have the thought to cook the chicken breast side down for the first half, which gives a much crisper skin and more juicy meat.
I bought the budget one before seeing this and we now cook everything in it, never turn on the main oven. Cakes, whole chicken, steamed veg from frozen, apart from fried food it's in the microwave. Never had a bad result. Before cooking anything for the first time I just look at someone else doing it on CZcams..

There is a problem, very few demo videos actually use the combinations, Why? Because the manufacturers don't make it easy to work out how the combination will affect the food you are cooking.
You don't want to be risking a valuable piece of meat on a system where you do not really know what is going to happen. Nearly all of them tell you about Salmon and asparagus, neither of which are really part of basic weekly meals.
If you have a probe that helps a lot, but you still have to decide a mix of microwave, combi oven and maybe grill, that will cook and brown, before you hit the probe temperature. You can't help feeling it should be a useful combination, but as I said, we have to take a risk a few times before we work out how to use them. That risk has you turning on the conventional oven just because it is so much easier.

I paid £155 for my smart oven with 21 cooking modes, holds 30 litres, and came with a rotisserie and even an oven glove!

For me Panasonic combination microwaves are the best and I refuse to buy anything else.

I agree I have a Panasonic Combi Flatbed oven it's 10 years old and works perfectly still.

I have a combi sage. Although useful the door is now falling apart, not exactly the greatest quality.

[@ben3291]

The sage ovens also have an inherent fault with the Crispin pan with the legs melting and coming off. I like the look and the concept of the SAGE but I will stick with and buy Panasonic anyday had my one now 10 years and still working great
