microwave-air fryer combo

[lavalamps]

hi there, my microwave has died and I'm thinking about trying an air-fryer-microwave combi. My DH died last year and with 2 small kids and literally no time to cook anything nice, I want something that's going to produce really nice food, and quicker than my very slow oven. Can anyone recommend one? Not too pricey - was hoping to spend no more than £200-£250 but that might be unrealistic. Or any other ideas? Thanks so much.

I bought this a year ago to replace my micro-only microwave. I am still over the moon with it and worked better for me than having a separate air fryer. I’ve used my oven approx 4 times since using! I cook everything in it - oven chips, a whole chicken, cheese on toast… everything 😉

Thanks! really helpful. Is it an air-fryer too?

It has a convection oven. Don’t think it’s as speedy as one of those air fryers with a drawer but it’s definitely cheaper to run than an oven!

I have this 3-in-1convection oven/microwave/air fryer lhttps://www.johnlewis.com/sage-smo870-combi-wave-air-fryer-convection-oven-microwave-silver/p5287682?s_ppc=2dx92700069417307707_mixed_technology_BAU&tmad=c&tmcampid=2&gclid=CjwKCAjwvJyjBhApEiwAWz2nLQ9WdFb-rr3G4B8c_yauqh13dGnoE2FdBhuJU71xebKUqIikeqgZhRoCXvwQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
I managed to find it on offer for £250.

It's a brilliant microwave and convection oven (apart from pizza, the heat comes from the top and doesn't crisp the base).

As an air fryer it's not as good as the little £39 Tower air fryer I had previously, it doesn't seem as fast or powerful.

This looks great, but £400 in John Lewis, do you remember where you got your good price?!

@lavalamps it was an offer on the Sage website, in connection with a Food Fair or exhibition.
