The Combi Wave 3 in 1 removes the need to choose between appliances because it genuinely does three jobs brilliantly in one footprint. The air fryer function delivers crispy golden results, the convection oven handles roasting and baking, and the inverter microwave defrosts and reheats with precision rather than the hot-and-cold unevenness traditional microwaves create. Element iQ technology steers power to where and when it's needed, so whether you're air frying chips, roasting chicken, or reheating pizza, the machine creates the ideal cooking environment automatically. The 19 smart presets including Smart Cook, Smart Reheat, and Smart Defrost remove guesswork entirely. The soft-close door is 80 per cent quieter than standard, the operation is 50 per cent quieter overall, and clever touches like a mute button and shortcuts panel on the inside door mean less kitchen noise and more enjoyment of what you've cooked. It's the kind of appliance that replaces three separate machines without compromise.
- Three-in-one cooking: air fryer, convection oven, inverter microwave: Delivers crispy air-fried results, roasted and baked meals, and precise microwave reheating and defrosting in one appliance without needing separate machines.
- Element iQ power steering technology: Automatically steers power to where and when it's needed, creating the ideal cooking environment for perfect results across all three functions.
- 19 in-built smart presets: Smart Cook, Smart Reheat, Smart Defrost, Fast Combi, Cook from Frozen, and more remove guesswork and deliver consistent results with one-touch operation.
- Power Smoothing Inverter technology: Adjusts power intensity smoothly rather than using old ON-OFF cycles, delivering even heat for precise reheating and delicate defrosting without drying out edges.
- Soft-close door and quiet operation: 80 per cent quieter soft-close mechanism, 50 per cent quieter overall operation, plus mute button and child lock for a genuinely quieter kitchen experience.
What Customers Ask About This Product
Does it really replace three separate appliances, or is it a compromise between all three?
It genuinely delivers on each function without significant compromise. The air fryer creates crispy results, the convection oven roasts and bakes properly, and the inverter microwave defrosts and reheats with precision. Element iQ power steering optimises each function separately, so you're not settling with a mediocre middle ground.
What does the Fast Combi function actually do?
Fast Combi combines convection oven, grilling, and microwave at different cooking stages to achieve temperature and results faster than traditional ovens alone. It's genuinely faster because it's using multiple heating methods simultaneously rather than sequentially.
Is the Power Smoothing Inverter technology actually better than a standard microwave?
Yes. Standard microwaves use ON-OFF cycles that create hot spots and cold spots, which is why edges dry out when you're trying to defrost centres. Inverter technology adjusts power smoothly, so heat distributes evenly. For reheating and defrosting, this makes a measurable difference.
Will the shortcuts panel actually be useful, or is it gimmicky?
It's genuinely useful. Having one-touch buttons for common tasks like melting chocolate, softening butter, or popping popcorn removes the need to find presets or guess settings. These are things people do regularly, so the convenience compounds over time.
In our experience...
Element iQ power steering removes the need to choose between appliance specialisation. Dedicated single-function appliances specialise in one thing. A machine that tries to do everything compromises. Element iQ solves this by adjusting power delivery to each function so the air fryer is genuinely crispy, the oven genuinely roasts, and the microwave genuinely defrosts evenly.
Power Smoothing Inverter technology genuinely improves microwave defrosting and reheating. Traditional microwave cycles overheat edges whilst struggling with centres. Smooth power adjustment means heat distributes evenly from the start. For defrosting meat or reheating lasagna, this difference is genuinely noticeable.
Fast Combi actually speeds up cooking by using multiple methods simultaneously. Traditional ovens use one heating method at a time. Fast Combi combines convection, grilling, and microwave power at different stages, so cooking happens faster because multiple methods are working together.
A 32L capacity handles family cooking without being an enormous footprint. Too small and you can't roast a chicken or cook for a family. Too large and it dominates your kitchen. 32L is sized for genuine family use, roasting whole chickens and cooking meals for four to six people comfortably.
Quiet operation actually changes how often you'll use an appliance. Loud microwaves discourage use because of the noise. A 50 per cent quieter machine that you barely notice operating changes behaviour. That small reduction in friction compounds into more frequent use.

Care & Use Instructions
Cleaning the interior after cooking: Allow the appliance to cool slightly after use. Wipe the interior with a damp cloth to remove splashes and residue. For stubborn spots, use a soft cloth with a small amount of dish soap, then rinse with a damp cloth and dry. Never use abrasive scouring pads that could damage the interior.
Maintaining the Combi Crisp pan and trivet: The Combi Crisp pan and trivet are removable for easy cleaning. Wash by hand in warm soapy water or place in the dishwasher, depending on the manufacturer's recommendations. Dry completely before returning to the appliance to prevent water spots.
Cleaning the turntable and door: The turntable is removable and dishwasher-safe. The soft-close door can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the door mechanism in water. Ensure all parts are completely dry before closing the door.
Preventing odours and buildup: After cooking strong-smelling foods, leave the door open briefly to allow steam to escape. Wipe the interior regularly to prevent grease or residue buildup. Monthly, run a cycle with a microwave-safe bowl of water with lemon to freshen the interior.
Electrical care and storage: Never immerse the exterior or electrical components in water. Wipe the brushed stainless steel exterior with a dry or damp cloth depending on fingerprints. Ensure the power cord is coiled neatly and stored safely. Allow the appliance to cool completely before storing.
