I think this is the most amazing kitchen appliance ever. I can cook 6 chicken breasts. Just push the according buttons and it comes out perfect. Rack of lamb-push pink and insert the probe and perfect. Takes the guess work out of cooking and perfect every time.

We built a new house 3 years ago and installed 10 Miele whitegoods. Favourite item is the Speed Oven used daily. Unfortunately the glass tray has fractured along the entire front and LHS corner broken off from the door springing shut. This renders the oven partially useless now as glass tray is the primary tray. Cost to replace is very expensive being the only downside of the wonderful product otherwise.

I completely gutted my kitchen for a modern remodel. I decided I would not get a regular oven or a regular microwave. I wanted to combine the two. That's what this unit does. So far I have cooked a few fish dishes and a cornish hen. All turned out perfectly. Certainly better than when I did them in the old Jenn-Air that was junked. The cavity is smaller than a "normal" oven, but that's what helps it heat so well and efficiently. I have this unit in a cablinet on top of the counter top just above waist level. So far it has done very well and it can easily replace a normal oven.

I am crazy happy with my Miele MC SO! I have been using it for 5 years and have not had any problems. Yes! It was ridiculously expensive! I paid $3,400. I had wanted the Dacor oven with no exposed cooking elements. I looked at it for two years, but did not like Dacor's microwave, which was nothing more than a Sharp Convection microwave. Then, one day, on another visit to our local Kustom Kitchen's the co-owner introduced me to the Miele MC SO. Oh my! I was struck! I could instantly see I would have two ovens (in my small kitchen) and be able to handle holidays with two ovens available for whatever I needed to cook, bake, roast, or keep warm. And it has not disappointed--ever! My only disappointment is in Miele. They have not provided the necessary DVD or decent manual to introduce users on how to best use and get maximum benefits from this oven. Their manual is way less than adequate. I am still hoping they will correct this. I have yet to learn when to use the Surround or Convection Bake. There are so many multiple cooking options. I also bought the 30" Miele oven. Beautiful! But more than that, they work great! My daughter recently bought the GE Monogram Speed oven and 30" oven ans 6 burner gas cook-range. Hers is great too, BUT, the Miele SO is better. I like that I can choose the exact oven temperatures and variables, rather than everything preset as on the GE Speed Oven. Would I buy it again? You bet! Warning: do not spill liquids in that glass door 1/16" opening along the top, or you're in trouble. I dumped the coffee cup twice. You can not remove that glass without a special tool. However, I finally was able to maneuver a moistened paper towel--over and over and was able to remove most of the stain to 96% satisfaction.

Like the previous reviewer, I was doing a complete re-do of my kitchen and went looking for an appliance that could combine microwave function with true oven cooking. When I told the appliance salesman what I was looking for, he headed straight for the Miele section and said "This is what you want". And BOY, was it ever. It was love t 1st sight. I've had it for a little over 2 years and it performs like a dream. I use it everyday and so do my kids. It does everything but clean the kitchen. It microwaves, broils, convection cooks,roasts, combo of any two AND it has some preset Masterchef functions like it's big sister. Great, great appliance
