A combi-microwave built for handleless, minimal kitchens

Fisher & Paykel's 60cm Minimal combi-microwave pairs a 900W cooking system with a 6.8-inch touchscreen, replacing physical dials and buttons with a flush glass surface that wipes clean in one pass. At 596mm wide and 458mm high, it slots into standard cabinetry cut-outs without custom joinery, so it reads as part of the cabinetry rather than an appliance bolted onto it.

The combi function means it moves from defrosting and reheating to genuine grilling and convection baking, so it earns bench space rather than duplicating a full-size oven. The touchscreen interface responds with the same precision as a tablet, letting you dial in power levels and timers without guesswork, while the grey finish resists fingerprints better than gloss alternatives and stays consistent under kitchen lighting.

In a considered kitchen, this is the appliance that handles the daily reheats, the school-night grills and the weekend baking without announcing itself. The minimal fascia and recessed handle keep sightlines clean in handleless runs, and the compact footprint suits apartments and galley kitchens where a full second oven is not on the floor plan.

Buy this if…

• You want a flush, handleless finish across your cabinetry run
• You need combi grilling and convection, not just reheat-and-defrost
• You are fitting a second cooking appliance into a compact 60cm space
• You prefer touchscreen control over dated dial-and-button interfaces
• You want a grey finish that resists fingerprints in a high-traffic kitchen
