JML Halogen Oven

ok at first but bulbs dont last. hard to put in new ones.

fan gets covered in grease in no time then hard to clean without dismantling.

no wonder they are selling them at half price now AVOID

Jml staff lie and call u a lier I would keep away I have had 20 ovens in 2 years u have to fight with there bad staff keep away there items will hurt u I would never buy one off there items again and thinking I will sue them I hate the items they sell they r all fake the build and glass top will blow up and u will get hurt

I enjoyed using this oven in the beginning but when I went to use it last time the bulb exploded spraying glass over the meat. Once I lifted the lid up glass particles went everywhere. The glass particles were so small it is taking me days to make sure it is all gone. Was offered a replacement but no thanks don't want to waste another piece of meat (worth £11.98) for which JML wasn't interested in compensating for. If there had been some sort of warning about the chance of the bulb exploding I would never have bought this product to start with. Now because I didn't want a replacement I have to make do with a credit note. Bad show JML.

Good point

It is power saving, you do not need to heat up the whole conventional stove.

It is fast, pre-heats in a few minutes.

It is inexpensive, Costco was selling these JML around £25.

It is easy to clean.

You can look at what you are cooking to get it cooked the way you want.

Bad points

Thermostat, fan, heating element can fail and although I have seen heating elements for sale on Ebay, other parts are impossible to get hold of.

Even so if you can get hold of spare parts, it is not really a customer serviceable product.

I love using it.

The most poorly designed and engineered product I've ever used. Totally impractical for any type of cooking of any kind. Proclaims to self clean but you have to clean it first before it can self clean. Absolute joke of a product. A glorified halogen heater tipped on top of a big bowl.

DO NOT PURCHASE

Unless you want to see how stupid it is

I am on Protein diet. My brother gifted me Halogen oven. I was only eating the chicken and fish cooked in it. I lost 3 kg weight but now the bulb is brokenI am sad as I cant use it any more..

If anyone knows please tell the cheapest way to solve the problem.

My oven broke so my mum how bought one of these awhile ago but never used it and still in its box gave it me I've just gone to use it and it does not even work!!bought it about 6months ago cannot take it back as no receipt,I've checked the fuse and it's not the fuse,I cannot believe it does not work,so much for having a back up if any of our ovens went

Originally I bought a halogen oven from JML and I constantly had to take off the splatter guard to get to the fan as it kept coming loose. This kept happening until the thread became worn and the nut that secured the fan would not hold the fan in place. I have heard several people complaining about the same problem. I have now switched to an Andrew James halogen oven and it is pure quality, in my opinion the best on the market.

I bought a JML halogen oven about 8 months ago. My breakfast is a bacon sandwich with one slice of bacon. Obviously the rack at the bottom needs cleaning, and because of that the chrome coating has come off revealing copper and even some blackness on a couple of areas. Result is that there are black stripes across the bacon. I'm sure it's harmless, but it doesn't look nice. I emailed JML saying that I would like to buy two more of these racks: I possibly hadn't cleaned it carefully enough and was happy to pay. I was very nice, but no reply at all. Looked on their website, and no chance to buy spares or indication of what I should do. It will be the last thing I buy from JML. It could have been one or two stars, but the food doesn't look nice so I've given it one. If only they'd bothered to answer ...

I am hugely disappointed with this appliance and would not recommend it, especially after it exploded a few days ago, which was very frightening. I only brought it in May and used it once or twice a week, for cooking a chop or sausages.

It had only been switched on for a minute before the bulb inside exploded, first it made a screaming noise, then there was a huge bang and flash, then flames, thank goodness the thing is sealed by the lid being in place, so it extinguished the flames. My grandchildren were with me at the time, and they were crying and very frightened, as I tried to get to it to pull out the plug.

Therefore, I would not recommend this product and shall be writing to JML for a refund, as I certainly wouldn’t want a replacement!
