Who the Panasonic 27L Convection Microwave Oven is for

Buy it if: Anyone who wants one appliance that reheats, bakes and grills in a kitchen without space for an oven.

Avoid it if: Anyone who mainly defrosts and melts delicately -- a true inverter model handles low power far better.

Who the AGARO Imperial 19 Bar Espresso Coffee Maker with Milk Frother is for

Buy it if: Anyone learning espresso on 230 V mains who will buy a separate burr grinder.

Avoid it if: Anyone expecting an all-in-one -- there is no grinder, and pre-ground coffee will disappoint.
