Great product, really great feature you can djust different temp for top and bottom coils

Very good buy. Loved the features, specially the convention fan , the dual temperature control & 250C temp which is rare to find. The product came well packed and does the work very well. Have baked cake, toasted, baked augratin and it did it so well. Would have given it 5 stars, but just a few things which can be looked at. 1) the door handle gets a little hot 2) the closing of the door could be a little tight so as to give better seal.But very satisfied with the product and definitely worth a buy. Been 3 days of usage.

Build:Very well built. There is no flex in the chassis compared to other brands. Finish is very good as well. No edges or scratches seen anywhere. The door hinge is well built as well. Opens and shuts perfectly. The quality of trays is superb. No flex even on the wire rack. The trays are perfectly sized and don't slip off the sides either.Use:Dials click into place on each setting. They don't feel cheap and misaligned. There are two thermostat controls. The thermostats are perfect. They switch off and return back on quickly. My older Bajaj took forever to switch back on once they switched off.Cooking:Superb. Cooks chicken in 40 to 60 min easy.Chicken retained a lot of flavour and didn't dry out either. This was my biggest requirement. I wwanted an otg that cooked chicken as most of the other brands don't cook it even after two hours.I researched a lot and found that you need a 2000W oven that can hit 250 c to cook chicken. Both parameters are achieved by this oven.Overall a superb buy. I researched many brands and narrowed it down to borosil, wonderchef and this. Emailed them before the purchase and they responded too. Borosil doesn't hit 250. Wonderchef panels flex like cheap thin steel. Bajaj I've used many times and it refuses to cook chicken. This is a local brand that has sourced a well built oven. By blindly. I only hope it is reliable. Plus it has six rods. Three up and three down. This gives better heat distribution. Superb American Micronics!Update: after using it for a few months it still works perfectly. The only downside is there is discolouration of the interior steel chassis and inside of the door.

Shocking that an American made oven or at least that is what the description states does not come with an instruction manual. It's a decent oven and works as good as any Bajaj oven but the major drawback is that we did not receive an instruction manual for the oven so have been having to answer to the kitchen staff and am not pleased about it. Am a big reader of all manuals so hope this American Micronic oven maker ensures basic instruction manual is included so one knows how to operate it especially if one is a first time oven owner. Let me add am absolutely certain that we did not throw the packing box along with the manual since we checked multiple times for the manual and packing box is still in our possession.

Before I write a review being chef by hobby let me explain that these ovens can generally be devided in two catagoies, In first category are those totally heat insulated and reach up to temperature of 300 deg C or beyond Generally theses cost RS 30000/- upwords. Second category are those with limited heat insulation and normally are restricted to 250 deg C and.price range is below RS 12000. While first category is essentially good for hard meat cooking/ bar-be-q etc second category is good enough for most Indian / continental cooking /grilling and baking. This oven obviously falls in this category and probably the best available in India.Its double glass door, high finish, good looks, efficient controls specially the uqique feature of separate thermostats contols for top and bottom heaters make it an excellent product. I did a great deal of survey before buying and now without hesitation I can say I made the best choice.Another very positive aspect is their customer care. I apporached them with few quarries before and after buying and the response was very prompt and professional, very impressive indeed.all in all you can't get any thing better than this for the price. A real value for money. I am electronic/ Aviation engineer and an Air Force officer by profession who loves cooking gourmet meals.
