The CASO MG 25 Ecostyle Ceramic Microwave & Grill has been reduced by £42 in an autumn deal, with the price dropping to £119.99 from £149.99. Using the code AUTUMN10 at Yimbly brings the cost down further to £108.
This price beats several retailers, including Amazon and the CASO website. The savings are notable, but the model's design is what sets it apart. Unlike a conventional microwave with a rotating glass plate, the CASO Ecostyle uses a flat ceramic cooking surface.
Flatbed design offers more space
There is no turntable taking up space or getting in the way when larger dishes need to go inside. CASO states the design offers up to 60% more usable surface area than comparable turntable models. It also makes cleaning less fiddly, with no rotating plate to remove and wash.
Customer feedback highlights that the flatbed design is proving particularly popular. The appliance combines a 900W microwave with a 1,000W quartz grill, giving shoppers the option to grill food as well as heat and cook.
Features and alternatives
There are five microwave power levels, three combination microwave-and-grill programmes and a dedicated grill function. A sliding rack also allows food to be cooked on two levels, and it has a 25-litre capacity.
CASO isn't the only brand offering a microwave without a turntable; there's also the Russell Hobbs Flatbed Digital Microwave. It has a smaller capacity of 23 litres and lower 800W power, but it is cheaper - now on sale at Amazon for £99, down from £139. Those with a higher budget might opt for the Panasonic 1000W Standard Flatbed Microwave, reduced at Argos to £179.99 from £200 for the 27-litre model.
Customer feedback
CASO customers have left feedback for the MG 25 Ecostyle Ceramic Microwave & Grill across varying retailers. One person said: "Very pleased with my purchase, easy to use, looks good, does what you want it to do. The included grill facility - great."
A second person wrote: "We purchased this as a replacement for our previous microwave that we kept for 30 years. We wanted something simple, efficient, with a large capacity and value for money, and this is what we got!"
And a third buyer commented: "5 stars all the way. I cannot find fault with it. I think that it's better than a turntable microwave, more usable space inside." Someone has left some critical feedback, sharing: "The only drawback: the timer is not easily adjustable for times less than one minute." But another consumer simply stated: "Superb microwave and love the built-in grill. So simple to use."
