I first purchased jml halogen oven in 2009,it lasted 6months,I got in touch with jml to which I did send it back and got new one.Now my halogen bulb has blown so now with all reviews can see i am not going to be able to get it fixed.I think jml should not do this to their customers and with this recession on we are having to go out and purchase a new one,for what to last from 6months,maximum a year when the warranty runs out.Get your act together JML and help us to fix our products.

I repair electrical equipment including JML halogen ovens, the problem is getting spare parts, JML don't manufacture any thing and only badge them, they have no interest in suppling parts for any of their products. I have even tried to contact the manufacturers in China who do not want to know unless you place an oeder for 10,000 units!! I would recomend not to buy anything from JML as they are only interested in selling a product with no after service!!

I received my jml oven as a present. I used it for Sunday lunches most weeks and thought that it was brilliant. I was really disappointed when 13 months later the thermostat broke. We cannot find a replacementand we were shocked at the poor quality of the parts used. At a time when we recycle and reuse to save this planet, it makes no sense to have to buy new and not able to make a cheaply priced repair. This would be the true recycling.

I sent the first jml halogeb oven back because it had a chip in the glass. You need to think about where you are going to put the lid. After an apple crumble fiasco, I've just sold mine on E-bay after keeping it for 3 months and have just bought a Cookworks Signature oven from Argos, which at least heats the food at the bottom as well as at the top and which I rate more highly, although I've lined it with foil to keep the heat in.

The cooking times are innacurate on the JML Halogen Oven unless you like your meat rare and it was not fast compared to our conventional gas oven.
The cooking times & temperatures recommended are not accurate.
The instructions say you must use cold water and washing up liquid when cleaning whereas the TV demo uses hot water. Either way it does not do a thorough job in washing out.
All in all it has been a disapointment. Its very good as an complimentary appliance to the others in your kitchen ie gas oven / microwave etc but in no way can it replace everything.

- bulky and cumbersome ....
- product needs some sort of lid stand when you want to remove hot food or gain access to the inside of glass bowl ... element and plate very hot and scorches surface if placed face down - cannot place any way else ... but face down
- REALLY really difficult to clean and degrease
- letters wipe off glass and plastic cover
- forget about maintaining or stripping appliance ... nuts and bolts rust up
- fan becomes noisy ... but cannot investigate why ... bolts won't come undone .... rusted onto thread
- bulb dirty ... cannot remove to carefully clean ... then noticed that wires are "glued" to bulb ends and wire harness cannot be detached to replace bulb ... so ... if bulb goes ... so does the appliance .. into the bin ... a waste of £money from this perspective ...

the cleaning-(non)ability and bulb replacement is the Achilles heal of this appliance ... pity they do not show you this on the TV channel ...
