Cecotec ProClean 5005: what works and what doesn't?
What works well
- 20 L in a compact format: A little more cooking space than typical 17 L models, yet still fits in small kitchens
- Display with clock: Shows cooking time and time of day, more convenient than analogue dial control
- 3DWave wave system: Meant to surround food all round and heat it more evenly
- Cheap entry point: Digital microwave with display, usually at a low price
Points of criticism
- No-name support: Cecotec is a budget brand, with more uncertainty over warranty and spare parts than with established makers
- Only 700 W: Rather weak like many basic appliances, heating larger portions takes longer
- No grill: Pure solo appliance without a browning or grill function
