Review of Miele Combi Steam oven

[@dresdenkiller]

Did you notice how good your oven is? It got you roasted even on KZbin.

[@kobostinywings]

Hahahah - best comment yet!

[@drummerdude408]

It's absolutely clear that this guy did NOT spend more than 30 seconds looking at the manual...or even cleaning himself in the shower. I'm a newbie at cooking, and this Miele oven was a godsend. I wonder how many "years" it took for him to transition from the flip phone to the smart phone. He probably still rocks a pager....

[@voidwanderer]

Wow, rough day and go with the Miele. I have a newer version and absolutely love it! This oven is not perfect, and yes, there is a learning curve, but its flexibility and versatility are unmatched in my experience. We only use our range to cook a large meal for the whole family. Regarding the water and condensation containers and the frequency of filling/emptying the containers, it all depends on what you're doing with the oven. If you're steam cooking, you must fill it with water and empty it. If you find that annoying, you can opt for the plumbed version. If you're using it throughout the day, it will stay on you about rinsing, but you don't have to do it each time; turn it off with the power button. Many Miele appliances have glass and piano black finishes, so they will be covered in fingerprints. After using it, I wipe the front of it with a wet microfiber towel.

[@jilloudil-gardiner9554]

I have the Combi-Steam and absolutely love it! I find it incredibly simple to use. If something I want to cook is not listed on the panel I just estimate the time and add steam if I choose. I also have been using the sous vide function. Which is also simple when you know the basics. Highly recommend. Our friends got one on our recommendation and now they are getting one for their summer place they love it so much. You do have to use it to for a bit but then .... I almost never use my Wolf oven.

[@MaZEEZaM]

At least in Australia Wolf appliances cost a fortune, like $30,000 AUD for a basic stove. Some of the Wolf appliances look great but not for the ginormous prices they cost in Australia

[@omarkhokhar5308]

How easy to clean?

[@jstones9872]

@@omarkhokhar5308 it depends if you are hard plumbed or not big difference. Also if you have hard untreated water can be a problem.

[@colingreaves6621]

Really....I think you would struggle to boil water.

[@RoxanneSchwoob]

I did enjoy your video and what it would be like to read no manuals or truly understand cooking. But, thank you! My husband would be similar and thank goodness I do the cooking!

[@RogerRamjetLips]

omg how nice is the view from your kitchen! I'm super-jelly.

[@QuesoDipp]

This video has epic levels of boomer energy.

[@tonyharvey9916]

If I were you I wouldn't try reviewing a table saw.

[@TheDachshundTrainer]

I do not want to be rude, but watching your video, it appears that the problem mainly stands in front of the oven. You are tipping nervously on the panel with very dirty fingers (are you dipping them in pure grease?) and wondering that it does not work. The inside of your oven is just disgusting. Miele kitchen parts are great quality, but they will not help if you lack basics. Maybe the following can help you: calm down and do the things in the correct order, maybe starting by cleaning your hands, the inside of your oven and the residue-water tank. Then read your documentation, even if it is generic, there will be loads of information in there. Do you know, why there are recipes in your book? It's in order to learn propper usage of the oven, try them out. By the way: the book is not an "oven for dummies" version, giving you step by step explanations for every dish you want to cook and that's normal, Miele will assume that somebody who buys that type of top of range appliance is... having a clue about cooking ;-) Hope that helps...

[@DMTHOTH]

he is also not really 'pressing' buttons. Why can't he just press it for at least 0.5 seconds?

[@rexrighetti7114]

Great Review. If you can't cook a $4,000 oven isn't going to make you Gordon Ramsay...Totally not helpful. but thank you all the same.

[@scarlettuwu9582]

Thank you! Saving me a ton of trouble by avoiding this oven 🙂😊

[@donnnnn9196]

It seems like all your issues with this oven would have been solved by reading the manual first?

[@jstones9872]

the lesson to be learned here is NO NOVICE hone cook needs a combi steam oven. Especially to make a chicken breast. You should have gotten a speed oven instead. Plus every attempt should be made to hard plumb it if you do get one. That's bother water and waste. They are great tools for professional chefs that understand how to use it. This is simply user errors.

[@remy-]

The problem with the keys is caused by not cleaning (degreasing) the panel. But the rest of the oven is also eh uhm.... greasy

[@bobbobell7095]

Did you ever read the manual?

[@DanKon75]

People are hating on this video but I found it extremely helpful. I know my way around a kitchen and I don’t want to boxed into a corner with limitations of a $4000 plus oven. If I’m cooking for a large gathering I have food on my hands, little time to mess with menu functions and don’t want mess with emptying and filling water containers halfway through a cook

[@BitmapFrogs]

the miele combi steam ovens are horribly marketed... i understand the company wants to sell a lot of these but the truth is steam ovens are powerful tools for the hobbyist home cook, and no amount of menu and automatic options will make them suitable for mass market adoption

[@grahampahl7100]

The temperature probe you couldn't find is right between the condensate and freshwater tanks.

[@MieleTouchtronic]

Someone should send him an Easy Bake Oven and see what kind of video he posts haha.

[@yeowchongong5608]

I have one and super good! Easy to use and clean!

[@reneedernburg8959]

I have a similar Miele combi-steam oven to this model and my experience with it mirrors what Scott is showing here. Contrary to some of the allegations in the comments below, I am an experienced cook and read the manual carefully. I have discouraged friends and family members from making the same appliance selection. The stainless-steel pans that came with my oven warp under normal oven temperatures. The unit is solidly built but poorly designed. When the fan on our unit failed, the replacement part took over two weeks to get and $930 to diagnose and repair. The MasterChef function is useless. In my opinion, no home cook needs this appliance. I use the oven without steam as a second oven on those occasions when the extra cooking space is helpful.

[@suidlips]

Wow, maybe they need to include a suggested iq level to own a Miele oven.

[@islandtimewa8204]

my bosch is equally annoying

[@jan6979]

Thanks, I'm looking for easy to use so guess which oven I won't be buying. Thank you.

[@77moci]

Then don't buy, smart phone, smart TV, smart home devices.... let's get back to '80s:))

[@MrRichardyc]

should've gotten the plumbed version, just like $500 more IIRC.

[@annemelville9276]

and do cleaning after every use.

[@user-gz4ve8mw9l]

Those cost a lot more in 2024, but yes I agree. Miele least expensive plumbed version is nearly $7,000 with tax, its worth it though.

[@simonkrautler1336]

😂This reminds me of the time we bought by grandma an I phone

[@Notturnoir]

Mine got violent when we got her a dvd 📀 player!

[@bryantalley460]

I feel this is like showing my grandmother how to use the VCR in 1989...

[@angiefox-mohsenian9555]

I love my steam oven! You are having issues I could easily address. Don't listen to this guy!

[@janerikborge]

Awesome video. I was at a show room yesterday, and I noticed the exact qwerks you mentioned. Especially the opening and closing the water access.

[@douglasx6915]

I'm assuming that your hands are as dirty as the inside of that oven, hence the reason that the touch pad was not working. Going forward, I would stick with microwaved HotPockets.

[@Saki630]

lol if this guy is still alive i would be astonished to know how he is doing after being so bitter about how rich he is living in a penthouse mansion but unable to heat up some pizza rolls in his $8k oven......

[@user-gz4ve8mw9l]

How did he become so wealthy if he's devoid of common sense? Seems a lot of rich people are just like him evidently.

[@LiquidTurbo]

Your fingers are greasy and you’re complaining you’re leaving greasy finger prints? This is hilarious!!

[@InXLsisDeo]

When you cook, your fingers are often greasy, yes. Perhaps you should try cooking once. Also it's a common complaint that this interface gets fingerprints. This oven is needlessly complicated and ripe for failing fast because of that. Stupid design if there is one. You don't want all this crap. There is only one gadget that is even worse: the smartphone piloted oven. You REALLY don't want this utter crap.

[@_-_-_-_9407]

@@InXLsisDeo For a dumbass like this boomer everything is complicated :D

[@kristianmihailov5589]

That’s the worst review. Do not listen to this man at all . The trays he tried to fit were from different Miele oven model ! The were from Miele single ovens prior 2007 ! The menu is nicely explained too . He just has to read it ! The touch panel doesn’t work as he touched it with a fraction of his finger and very quickly too . And lastly all touch surfaces have finger prints . Maybe if he degreases his fingers will not have any . Also man please clean that oven . Will you complain that miele don’t come to clean it for you. And when you fill the water tank dont make it all in water but there is a whole for filling it and when you fit in the oven should be dry externally next time you might want with the hose to fill the oven with water - because it works with water . But the way you operate with it you will burn the electronics soon with all this water spills!

[@KettleRiseRanch]

LOL thank you so much for this video! it's exactly what I wanted to know. Ok you just sold me on Gaggenau or Wolf

[@ngtnc4748]

thanks for the reviewing, it is very real and authentic

[@nonameduser801]

Of how I see this is following: For some parts this guy is right. For example, Miele marketing department failed to do research of what Americans eat, and how they call their dishes therefore they program the oven accordingly. Other than that, his complains will be future update for this Miele oven lol

[@jenniferlockwood3741]

You are using KZbin to put your video out.....try using KZbin and finding instructional videos on how to use your Miele Oven.

[@keriah7]

Bottom line - can DOES this make a simple chicken breast?

[@Jon-wo4ni]

This came with my house. Still haven’t used it once. Over complicated. All manuals are in French. Maybe some day…..🤷🏼‍♂️

[@wernervdc]

Your review lost all credibility that it might have had the second that oven door opened and I noticed the state of that poor appliance. Someone who obviously can't be bothered with even minimal maintenance and cleaning ought to stick with the original luddite ways and roast their meat over an open pit. I watched this video first about 3 months ago, then put it aside and purchased the appliance in question. I use it daily, mainly for baking bread / steaming vegetables or re-heating food. My version also comes with the removable fresh/condensed water reservoirs and admittedly, those make for regular shuffling back and forth between the appliance and the sink, mainly due to the automatic cleaning and rinsing. That's a 'feature' that I'm not enamored with, if at all possible I'd advise a direct connection. Other than that, nothing but praise. To my surprise the programmes work almost perfectly: the food's cooked as it should be, neither overcooked nor half raw.

[@laurahiggins4712]

You can turn off the automatic cleaning and rinsing so you can do it only when you want to.

[@CybreSmee]

Just like my dad, haha. Best stick with takeaways, I think.

[@angela2710]

I ❤😂😂😂you!!! Thank you😂😂😂. I totally agree . Histerical 😂😂😂

[@enlilw-l2]

Ridiculous, this isn't a review. Why did you choose this particular model and complain about fingerprints, water tanks, complexity ?? Miele combi steam are complex ovens, maybe your retailer didn't told you that there are ovens without touchscreen, plumbed and easier to use. You can't just blame Miele because you don't know how to use it and don't clean it. I'm sorry but it's a mess !! It looks like you only bought it because it was expensive...Stupidity.

[@annemelville9276]

clean your unit after every use. Your condenser unit is full of mould

[@danielsoroken9596]

what model is this oven

[@SteamOvenGuru]

while everyone is entitled to their opinions about the products they have purchased with their hard earned money, some consideration for the content for sharing would be much appreciated. While there is no attempts in this video to actually understand how this equipment works, it is hard to consider the contents of this video being valid. I would encourage views who are considering this equipment to visit my channel where proper information is given with actual samples and demonstrations. Miele does not support me in any way to post my contents, and all manufactured goods in the current market has their benefits and challenges. Is this the best product? perhaps not. Would one find this product more useful after some actual effort to try and learn about something new, especially when good amounts of money was spent to purchase it? Perhaps...

[@NanetteAustin-v4d]

Thank you so much for this video. This oven is on clearance near me, I know I should pass thanks to your demonstration.

[@naimamir4904]

You need a cook not a oven lol

[@MaZEEZaM]

Yes, you would think someone willing to spend quite a large sum of money on a Miele oven would have basic cooking knowledge, ie Proof is a bread dough setting and even more basic general knowledge, ie chicken is a meat. However the menu selection was very limited.

[@chrisracer2007]

You get it wrong master chef combines the steam to cook it slow and low temperature

[@jordanpantano1557]

This was hilarious! Great entertainment haha

[@77moci]

I am sorry Scott, but you make yourself ridiculous. Yes, Chicken is a type of MEAT :)... what a surprise. And please don't touch the surface with dirty fingers, that's why it looks rubbish. I have the same device and my one works perfectly, probably I use it right and read the manuel:) And for God sake, clean the oven before using it, because it looks ridiculous and disgusting :))))

Great effective.

[@mihaiachim244]

I think you want to use a world class top oven in the same way like cooking a meal in the middle of Yellowstone Park: a knife, a fire and 2 dirty hands, that simple. And you advice us to not buy a Miele. No, I advice you: go back in the forest, you will avoid to die because of malnutrition.

[@rmariu]

This is the most honest and so the best review of this expensive appliance. Thanks. Some more improvements to the usability are needed

[@Aegirkitchen]

That steam oven is so beat up and filthy, so I can only imagine how you neglected using it. I am surprised that it is still functioning. And, yes so many finger prints because you need to clean its sometimes. I stopped on 3rd minute watching it , I can't.

[@CW-wy2sk]

I have had 3x 500$+ repairs on this oven over 5.5 years. I use it alot but I cannot recommend it and miele has not helped me at all. Stay away unless you can afford serious maintenance bills
