Anyone know how much leccie a convection microwave uses?

Compared to a regular fan assisted oven?

The reason i am asking is that my mother refuses to use her fan assisted oven because she thinks her microwave oven (in convection mode) is cheaper to run..

I am not so sure as she has to run the convection oven at a higher temperature and for nearly twice as long to get the same results as her fan assisted oven.

Is this what my friday nights have come to?

Somebody please kill me.

Both units are built in so i can't really get to the back of them to check ratings..

I might do the meter thing one day, it is pissing me off having to wait twice as long for my dinner as i think i should

And besides, the fan oven cooks a better pizza..

According to my little British gas smart meter, about £1 an hour!

Do you have a fan assisted oven to compare it too?
