Yes, it is as the oven is both simplistic and easy to operate. You get two dial knobs and a few buttons to use. On the other hand, new models are very good but operating the machine is an engineering course by itself.3 First, learn how the touch works, then which button sets of which pre-set, after that pre-program your cooing preference or you won’t be able to use the oven properly, etc. The dial microwave is much more simple and you get two options – one power level adjustment and a two-timer.
