I've enlarged the picture to have a good look, and yes, the control panel is very much improved.This this looks like an improved version of the recent TSC I bought not long ago.
It seems to have a knob to select the programmes, instead of the touch buttons which don't work all that well
It definitely won't fit into a normal size kitchen cupboard.I don't have a cupboard big enough to store, and I don't want another 'cluttering gadget' on my worktop.
Me neither- and after many gadgets bought I've learned that there's nothing wrong with a traditional oven and grill and of course a microwave oven. We've got a microwave/combi which is good 'cause it takes up no more room than a normal microwave. Of all the things I've bought I'll make an exception for my magic bullet blender 'cause it's really small and really useful and my upright rotisserie, and of course my slowcooker - Everything else I've bought is gathering dust in the cupboards or has been thrown out! OH has a breadmaker which he loves and uses regularly. I've had George foreman grills of varying sizes, massive juicing machines, halogen ovens, electric pressure cooker, all in one machine that you can supposedly slow cook, fast cook, fry and make bread in but I couldn't get past the ridiculous instructions - and it was as bulky as hell. Lesson now learned - you can't really go wrong with a good set of pans, a good set of knives and the most basic of gadgets such as a handheld food mixer, and stick blender. A working oven and hob are less hassle than all these bulky gadgets. You don't need a massive airfryer to make "slimming world" chips, sausages can be dry fried or fried in small spray of oil, and if you want proper fried chips, a small deep fat fryer or a local takeaway is all you needI don't have a cupboard big enough to store, and I don't want another 'cluttering gadget' on my worktop.
Good God!!!! Really? Pizza party? What a load of baloney!!! Katie was slagging off her outdoor version of the pizza oven because it often burned the pizzas, and said that those pizza stones you can buy aren't perfect. FGS save your money and order a takeaway, or go to an Italian restaurant - For that price you could probably afford to do that on a weekly basis for quite a long time, but you'd probably be bored of pizza before that day comes! And let's not forget, the takeaway/restaurant pizza is made for you so all faff and clean up is taken care of by somebody else. Like you say - a five minute wonder for someone somewhere - and yet another tiresome example of Q selling ridiculously expensive stuff to the customer base that they're trying to attract as opposed to the customer base they've actually got - They'll learn (hopefully)!More kitchen stuff today, including a microwave grill at nearly £360, they are less than £100 in Tesco, and most are well-known makes too.
But this item takes the biscuit for a large useless item, a pizza oven for £705!!!
It looks colossal and will undoubtedly be a 5 minute wonder.

Ah the gadgets I've bought over the years that have ended up in the tip. The only one I've consistently used is the halogen table top cooker.

I think Sage is part of Heston BloomingBigBill’s empire. Which will partly explain the cost.More kitchen stuff today, including a microwave grill at nearly £360, they are less than £100 in Tesco, and most are well-known makes too.

Same hereApart from my Kitchenaid food mixer, I regularly use a very old, dedicated coffee grinder (Mr C drinks a huge amount of coffee), a not-very-new-now Ideal World Blendtec blender and a panini press. Gathering dust in the corner literally is a Bamix (total waste of money but too expensive to just discard. I live in hope I'll find a use for it). Every other electrical gadget in my kitchen has been thrown out for lack of use and I don't need any more. But I'm a sucker for anything Kuhn Rikon that doesn't need a socket.
...and another one! It's only a vague memory, 'cause it was many years ago, but if I remember rightly, we decided that our cheapy kenwood stick blender did a better job and took up far less room. I also vaguely remember it being quite heavy and cumbersome to use!Apart from my Kitchenaid food mixer, I regularly use a very old, dedicated coffee grinder (Mr C drinks a huge amount of coffee), a not-very-new-now Ideal World Blendtec blender and a panini press.

there was a slight blip when it went to the 2nd lot of advanced orders where it was adding £9.95 post when it was still free post so they just hadnt updated that 2nd lot to have free post as that was a late additionSo, on the QVC Facebook, someone said they have been charged £9+ postage when it is saying zero. They are not happy.
I've got one and it is quite a large footprint, but OF COURSE QVC don't bother to tell you the size.I quite fancy this as a replacement for a toaster, halogen oven and tefal grill. The main thing being it has a small storage footprint and I could also dispense with the other appliances. Has anyone got one? I see there's one in the Outlet section but I don't fancy finding someone's leftover cheese on toast and sending it back; it's not sufficiently reduced for me to risk it.
But my ancient Tefal "Fit n Clean" which is 20+ years old is a panini press, George Forman type grill, toasts bagels and teacakes perfectly because the lid can be supported and best of all it is perfectly sealed so the only part that can't go in the dishwasher is the wire and plug, as the contacts have waterproof seals that (touch wood) never fail.
...I think I've just answered my own question; I stick with what I have!
