Review microwave Candy CMXG22DS

The equipment is delivered in a simple cardboard box without gloss and other frills. Unfortunately, there is not even a handle for comfortable transportation. Developers are probably more focused on staffing quality. There is nothing to complain about.

Inside the microwave is tightly fixed by the liners. The glass tray and turntable are installed in special grooves of the foam base. The grill grate is located in the chamber and is held tightly with a cardboard seal. In addition, there is documentation inside.

Additionally, the body is covered with plastic wrap. On the glass of the door is a sticker with a description of the proprietary application.

The model looks stylish: a contrasting design - a silver case and a black door window, a modern display. The front of the microwave and ergonomic handle are made of plastic, and the rest of the body is made of metal. There is reason to believe that the device will last a long time, it did not reveal any defects.

There is a ventilation grille on the back, and a large sticker on the convex part. In this way, developers minimized the risk of installing close to the wall. The information presented in the back of the device describes the technical specifications, and also warns of a ban on disassembling the back cover. The downside is that the length of the network cable is about a meter, so you need to take care in advance of installing the equipment near the outlet.

Additional vents are installed on the left side. From the bottom you can find 4 stable plastic legs, about 1.5 centimeters high. Thanks to opposing inserts, the model does not move on the table.

The dashboard consists of 5 buttons, an LED screen and a swivel washer. I strongly recommend that you read the instructions in advance, as many functions are implemented.

The microwave door opens 90 degrees. The magnetron is traditionally located on the same side as the dashboard. At the bottom of the working chamber there is a recess for installing the assembled rotary table (diameter 25.5 centimeters).

In the review of the microwave oven with grill Candy CMXG22DS it is worth adding that the heater is in a special metal insert. The design is mounted on the upper wall. The grill is made of stainless steel.

The control panel deserves special attention in the review of Candy CMXG22DS microwave ovens, so I suggest a brief walk through the main points. Above the display are three buttons:

1. The top button is used to select one of three modes - “Microwave”, “Grill” and “Combined mode”.Having selected the first mode, using the rotary switch you can set the degree of power (a total of 4).
2. The middle button provides defrosting by time and by weight of products. By pressing once, the dEF1 mode is activated, after which the defrost time must be set using the rotary washer. To select by weight (from 100 to 2000 grams), you need to double-click the button to start the dEF2 mode. Further, in the same way we select the necessary value with the washer, but already the digital values ​​will display the weight, not the operating time;
3. Time setting and blocking - one click allows you to set the clock, and the second minute. By pressing the third time, you save the selected values. If you are going to turn on child lock, just hold and hold this button.

Below the display are two more buttons and a rotary mechanism:

1. "STOP" - reset and stop the process;
2. “+30”, in fact, is “Start”. This button confirms any action performed and proceeds to the next step when selecting any parameters. In addition, a single press of the button (if the door is closed) starts the operation - one press for 30 seconds, each subsequent adds another 30 seconds to the duration of the work.

If you hold both buttons together, turn off the sound indication.

The automatic program is selected using the jog dial. In each category there are subcategories, the transition to which is carried out after pressing "+30. The display also shows the modes preset for one of 40 programs. You can find out for which products different values ​​are intended (A, B, other) using the instructions.

I must say right away that the registration process in a proprietary application will not be liked. To access all the features you need to register using a social network or create an account on the server. Next, you need to enter a lot of data, including country, city, last name and others. Only then you get to the start page, where again you need to indicate the date of purchase, serial number or scan the QR code of the product.

Honestly, it is not clear why so much information. After registration, redirects to the main page. Here we see instructions, a lot of tips and tricks. In addition, the developers took care of a sophisticated list of recipes.

It’s worth adding in the Candy microwave review that the offers are targeted specifically to your model.

To test the effectiveness of the microwave oven, I decided to defrost the chicken fillet, cook the chicken legs, bake the chicken and make a cupcake. Perhaps I will start with the fact that there is no experience in cooking with a microwave oven, so do not judge strictly.

Thawing 2 kilograms of whole meat is not worth it. Due to lack of experience, he put a huge piece on the plate, choosing the mode by weight.

After 20 minutes, the meat began to whiten around the edges. Therefore, I decided to cut the carcass in half and put each half for another 10 minutes, turning the meat every 5 minutes on the other side.

In total, it took 40 minutes to prepare the meat for further exploitation. Actually, if I hadn’t cut it, it would have taken about 50 minutes, as indicated in the instructions, but I recommend not to experiment with too large pieces - it is better to separate into 2 parts.

In a review of the microwave oven with grill CMXG22DS, I immediately admit that I did not succeed in cooking the chicken. As you understand, I decided to cook on a metal stand. To avoid risks, I chose the Grill mode so that the metal would not come into contact with magnetic waves. Since the chicken is too large, after a few minutes a disturbing noise began to be heard - drops of fat began to ignite. For fear of burning the apartment, he decided to simplify the task to make the legs. There is no experience in this craft. Perhaps the difficulties arose due to improper operation of the microwave oven, since I can not boast of the experience in using the equipment specifically as an oven. Nevertheless, I still managed to test the grill!

The instructions indicate that you need to turn the meat every 15 minutes.As a result, it took 60 minutes to cook the legs, as they turned over 4 times.

Finally, I decided to finally make sure of my culinary helplessness by preparing a primitive cupcake.

With a capacity of 80%, it took about 4 minutes to prepare the dessert. Surprisingly, it turned out pretty well.

But seriously, my friends, I stayed with my opinion! In my opinion, a microwave will never replace an oven. Nevertheless, although I can not boast of good results from testing a microwave oven as an alternative to an oven, the model is satisfied for several reasons. Firstly, it has high power and really effectively defrosts. Secondly, the developers equipped the model with good lighting, reliable construction, stylish design and an abundance of automatic modes. At the same time, the model stands at the level of analogues without a grill.

Thus, despite a number of difficulties that arose when creating a review of the Candy CMXG22DS microwave oven, I want to say that this model has a good price / quality ratio. I liked that there is a defrosting by weight and time, simple operation, the model fits into the interior design of the kitchen, as it looks stylish and modern. No complaints about the device, in fact, reviews also indicate reliable assembly and durability of the model. The problem is that this device still did not convince me that the microwave oven was able to replace the oven. Perhaps, in the hands of the master, the result would be more acceptable, but I (the average user) could not cook the chicken. It took too much time on the wing. Less complicated dishes, for example, vegetables, pastries and sausages, can be prepared, and this is clearly a plus that a microwave can additionally cook for such a cost.

Finally, I want to say that the company is developing, is constantly working on its application, updating the database with new recipes and recommendations, which can not please!
