Daewoo KOC-1C2KDS Multi Function Convection Microwave Oven 1.2 Cu. Ft., 800W | Black

Just stopped working. Can't find a repair place that would work on Dae Woo. Manufactured in Jan 2018. Died July 2019 and out of warranty.

The box was damaged during shipping, but the contents seemed fine. Included was instructions, a cookbooklet, and an oven mitt. The Daewoo countertop combo oven is spacious inside, but seems a little underpowered both in convection and in microwave modes. I picked this combo convection microwave oven because it could fit more standard size muffin tins, 13"x9" pans and looked looked nice. In the first few days of ownership I can say its a little underpowered and um.. different. I haven't tried any combo mode cooking, or many of the preset modes, so I'll have to experiment to get the best out of it. There's no number pad to set cooking times, and selecting microwave power level and time by turning the center knob is unlike other ovens I've had before. There's no turntable rotating foods. The "popcorn mode" has options for the amount of popcorn but when microwaving off-the-shelf name brand popcorn 3oz bags it wasn't completed popping even at the largest/longest setting. I did the last bag by manually setting the microwave to high and adding more time than the built-in mode. It was able to convection cook a frozen 12" square pizza, and refrigerated grands biscuits to be browned on top, but maybe they weren't as well cooked on the bottom as desired, with no decrease in time or temperature settings from what the food packaging said after the oven "preheated". Frozen crinkle fries and tater tots weren't particularly crispy in their recommended temps and times either. Putting an oven thermometer into the oven and setting the temperature to the highest setting only reached 350 degrees in 15 minutes from room temperature, not 430. A lot of things will cook OK at 350. In my opinion, its neither a great microwave nor a great countertop oven. Kinda works for either use, but I had higher expectations for this unit which weren't quite met.

First off, I purchased this at a big orange box store... Not Amazon and I regret it. This product feels cheap, because it is, has about a 300 page manual and other than the 30 second nuke button, is just too complex. After 12 months of minimal use it now burns popcorn, unevenly heats foods and the fans kick on high power mode to cool it even after a minutes use. Even though it says Daewoo on the front, you need to contact Winia and they pretty much said good luck getting it fixed on your own... I bet Amazon would have made them stand behind it...
