Summary : Broke after 4 months
In the picture this microwave looks kind of pretty. In the flesh you discover horribly plastic-y controls that seem only slightly attached to the machine and which allow *no* element of accuracy time-wise when reheating.
It was passable though and did the job... at first anyway... One day 4 months after I purchased it (if that) the microwave died with no explanation and hasn't worked since.
I'd avoid this if I was you - the cheap price is simply a sign of what a shoddy piece of kit it is.

Summary : reliable?
bought 1 year ago, within two weeks it set alight and melted the door. no answer was given of why it melted by the shop. they replaced it free of charge. 1 year later it just stopped working, no power at all, the shop had no idea why it lost its power. wanted to charge a fortune to replace power boards inside. i only ever used it once a day to warm food so i dont see how it would blow! on a nice note the grill is amazing! but would not buy it again

Summary : Very good.
One of the things I love about microwaves is that you can steam-cook vegetables in them and retain all the lovely nutrients that get removed when you boil them. This is a quality piece of kit. It's all one needs in a microwave and looks good in any kitchen. Simple yet powerful.

Summary : good value but a bit plastic
This is a good value little unit. The button panel is a wipe-clean surface. Controls are easy to use. For example, to cook for a minute just close the door and press start. Press start again to add extra 60 seconds to the time while cooking. Display is easy to use but some illumination would have been nice if the kitchen is dimly lit. While cooking, the food is of course illuminated in the oven. Includes glass turntable. This is good and changes direction each time you open the door. You can take it out to clean it, but it can be fiddly to get it in the right place on the spindle afterward.
Can defrost and cook if you set the right mode for the food inside, but the book could do with more examples of foods and times.
The door is hinged at the left and stops at 90 degrees. Door closing is very heavy though, and you need to push it so hard the whole unit sometimes moves on the worktop, and (due to a spring mechanism inside) the door closes with a very loud clunk no matter how carefully you close it.
Conclusion: It does plenty for the money, but loses out a little on the plasticy finish (which most microwaves seem to suffer from) and the awkward door.

Summary : Works well, but the timer....
Works just like it says on the box.
Even cooking and simple to use.
Robust and well built.
Annoying fact: The timer is fixed, 1, 3, 5 minutes etc.
So if the Chicken Vindaloo says 4 mins, stir and 4 mins, you end up just doing 5 mins, stir and 3 mins instead because you can't be bothered to clock watch.
Still it does cook exceedingly good Vindaloos....

Summary : Nicole
I bought this because it was the largest microwave I could find. I wanted to get a really big bowl in for a recipe I use regularly and no other micro was big enough. The capacity of this one is gigantic, I can easily fit in the largest Pyrex mixing bowl I have.
I was not really interested in the combi grill part but it works really well, (baked potatoes are not soggy). I have to say I have not experimented too much as I have two Neff ovens that I use day to day so I don't think I have explored its full potential. I did try cooking crumpets with the quartz grill, rubbish results, so it does not replace the toaster.
The microwave is really powerful and I have successfully nuked the butter to a clarified swamp on several occasions, but the MS ready meals come up a treat.
The blurb says that it replaces an ordinary oven... not in my view.. it's an as "well as gadget" not an "instead of".

Summary : Poor Build Quality
The build quality of this microwave is truly shocking
I have had two now from Amazon and on both the door mechanism is very poor and does not close properly
Take my advice and go to a shop
