Toshiba multifunction steam microwave

[the_great_she_elephant]

Has anyone here had or know anyone who's had any experience with this oven. I am thinking of buying one, but can't find any reviews on it. 

Also has anyone here dealt with Kogan and if so did you find them reliable? Their price looks really good (maybe even 'too good to be true.'?) - Hardly Normals have the same model in their Factory Outlet for $1299 - but I don't know what the RRP is.

Guess what. http://www.taste.com.au/ has a competition running to win the Panasonic I wanted ! You have to say in 25 words or less what you hope to use it for. I've written:

I dream of roasts and pasta bakes,

Delicious pastries, sinful cakes,

And other triumphs gastronomic

All cooked in my new Panasonic.

I think the comp. closes on 24thof  this month so keep your fingers crossed for me and I'll keep you posted - though if I win you'll probably hear the screams of delight even  from way over in the States.

Good luck She_el.  It looks like a winner to me.

[the*scarlet*pimpernel]

very good.

I was sort of expecting something more in keeping with the language of the destruction manual (what ever the heck that is)

Fingers crossed you win it.

I'm not wildly confident, Pimpy - they may be expecting something along those lines too.It's a bit like having a lottery ticket, and  I don't even know how carefully they judge the entries in these kind of competitions -  it might just be the first acceptable one pulled out of the barrel.

I buy from Kogan site all the time and have done since they started. Very reiliable. I have never had delivey issues or the need to return anything. I hope this helps.

Feeling unloved and unappreciated - I didn't win my microwave.

I might just have to go out and buy myself one.

[sineaterdoodah]

sorry about that,she-el. 😞

I think you should get the Toshiba.

UPDATE

I'm sure you will all be as thrilled and excited as I am to learn that after nearly twelve months of dithering and procrastinating I have finally lashed out and ordered my microwave. (Ooh, I"m an impetuous little  creature) 

In the end I went with the Panasonic. I found it online for $699 - it was $899 when I first looked at it a few months ago-  and it only has to come from the Perth warehouse, so with luck I may even have it on Friday
