Features:

Broiler
For rapid cooking and browning of foods. Best results can be obtained by using the top shelf for small items, the lower shelves for larger ones, such as chops or sausages. For a half grill, heat is generated only at the centre of the element, so it is ideal for smaller quantities.

Microwave
Penetrating straight into the food, microwaves cook very quickly and with considerable energy savings. Suitable for cooking without fat, they are also able to thaw and heat food without altering its original appearance and aroma. The microwave function can also be combined with conventional functions, with all the resulting advantages. Ideal for all types of food.

Microwave + Broil Element
To achieve a combined cooking with broil that cooks the outside whilst ensuring internal cooking, thanks to the microwave function.

The Smeg FMIU020X is a built-in microwave oven with grill designed to blend seamlessly into cabinetry while offering versatile cooking and reheating options. It pairs classic styling with practical features like multiple automatic programs, a broiler/grill mode, and a reasonably sized turntable — making it suitable for everyday kitchen tasks.

Pros

• Versatile Cooking Functions:
  Includes microwave, grill/broil, and microwave-plus-grill modes, giving you flexibility to reheat, cook, brown, or crisp foods — a step above basic microwave-only models.
• 8 Automatic Programs:
  Preset programs for foods like pizza, meat, vegetables, pasta, potatoes, fish, beverages, and popcorn help simplify cooking without guesswork.
• Automatic Defrost:
  Offers both defrost by time and defrost by weight options, making thawing frozen foods easier and more precise.
• Child-Safe Lock & Safety Features:
  Built-in control lock helps prevent accidental use, and the unit stops cooking when the door is opened for added safety.
• LED Interior Lighting:
  Interior LED lighting helps you monitor food as it cooks without opening the door.
• Quick Start & Timer:
  Quick start option and electronic timer with end-of-cycle alarm make everyday reheating simple and convenient.
• Stainless Steel Cavity & Finish:
  Fingerprint-proof stainless steel exterior looks premium and is easier to maintain, while the stainless steel cavity supports easy cleaning and durability.
• Frame Kit Included:
  Comes with a built-in frame kit for flush installation, preserving clean kitchen lines.

Cons

• No Smart or Sensor Cooking Features:
  Lacks Wi-Fi connectivity, app control, or advanced sensor cooking (e.g., humidity sensors) found in more modern microwaves — so some convenience functions aren’t available. 
• Moderate Wattage:
  Microwave power is 800 W with a 1000 W broil element, which is solid but not class-leading, so very fast, high-power cooking is limited.
• Electromechanical Controls:
  Uses traditional control knobs and buttons instead of a digital touchscreen, which some may find less intuitive or modern.
• Limited Internal Capacity:
  With a ~21 L cavity and ~9.65″ turntable, it’s not ideal for very large dishes or high-volume cooking — typical of many built-in microwaves.
• No Convection Mode:
  Doesn’t include full convection baking, so it can’t replace a dedicated oven for baking/cooking tasks that require more even, dry-heat airflow.

Conclusion

The Smeg FMIU020X Built-In Microwave is a stylish, flexible built-in unit that goes beyond basic reheating with its grill/broiler function, automatic programs, and practical design. Its automatic defrosting, child lock, and LED lighting make it a reliable everyday appliance, while the stainless steel finish and built-in frame kit elevate kitchen aesthetics.
