Lots of options that are clearly explained.

Really easy to clean.

Much more economical than our old combi. Super nice looking.

The Whirlpool 3-in-1 oven is a truly excellent choice for anyone looking for a kitchen powerhouse. The combination of steam and microwave functions makes it ideal for preparing meals and quickly reheating food. I especially appreciate that the oven comes with useful accessories, such as a steam tray and a crisper dish for things like oven fries, which are truly delicious in this oven.

The oven has a compact and modern design, and it's great that the menu can be set to Dutch. This makes operating it much easier. Another advantage is the special cleaning function, which significantly simplifies maintenance, although you should still be careful with the top, as that's where the heating element is located and can be tricky to clean. The menu structure can be a bit confusing at first, and the buttons sometimes don't respond immediately, which can cause some frustration. Furthermore, the buttons lack backlighting, making them difficult to read.

While it takes some getting used to, especially if you've never used a multifunctional oven like this before, the Whirlpool offers an impressive range of cooking options. From defrosting bread to creating a perfectly crispy crust on your dishes, this oven is a valuable addition.

In practice, this appliance works quite well: the automatic programs (such as jet defrost and dough-rising) simplify certain tasks. The hydrolytic cleaning system helps keep the oven interior clean.

Pros: Clear interface, many automatic settings, so you don't have to think about each preparation; spacious capacity for a compact size. Cons: For quick microwave tasks, you sometimes miss the simplicity of a standard microwave – you need a moment to select the right function. Preheating (with convection/convection functions) can also take some time.

Conclusion: For everyday use, the appliance is very suitable, but because it requires a bit more effort than a very basic oven, I give it 4 stars.
