A broadcaster, raconteur and public speaker, Duncan used to be on telly loads, but an unfortunate incident put a stop to that, so he now largely contents himself with telling people, "I used to be on the TV, you know." Come and see our ovens, hobs, refrigerators, wine coolers and other major appliances in a store near you. Ask us questions and explore our ranges in person. I've had the KitchenAid KMQFX33910 for a year or so now and have used it a lot, but there are still functions buried in there that I've yet to try. Softening chocolate, for instance, or defrosting fish – it has a programme specifically for that. It's probably the best microwave you can buy, but to be fair, that is because it is far more than a microwave. With a grill and fan heater built in, it's a true combi oven. Always had trouble with your dough? Fear not, as the appliance loves nothing more than helping you out thanks to an excellent Dough Rising function. Topping it all off is the Precision Bake feature, which ensures optimal cooking temperatures and no nasty uneven hotspots that normally help to cremate fragile sponges.

Accessories: The KMQFX33910 comes with a two-tier steamer – excellent – and two stands of different heights; tall for grilling, short for fan oven cooking. These are again a little flimsier than they ought to be, but they do the job. I have also used the fan oven without bothering with the low grill, and that seems to work fine.

When buying Microwaves you should firstly think about the brand that you’re buying. In fact we often recommend that before you get into the detail of choosing a product, you should firstly spend some time researching the various brands. It’s also worth considering writing up your own list of brands that you’d be happy to buy. Although we then thought we shouldn’t just look at all KitchenAid products, instead we should be looking at only their products that fall within the Microwaves category.

KMQFX33910

As you can see, this is a pretty handsome fella, at least so far as microwaves go. The handle and knob are both large – the handle is HUGE – tactile and eminently grab-able. The internal cavity is large for a microwave at 22 x 39.5 x 37 cm (H x W x D) – that's 33 litres in all. The overall machine is not too enormous at 37 x 49 x 54 cm (H x W x D). Admittedly that's a fair old chunk of worktop space.
