Rating : 4 Stars out of 5.
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 : Over spohisticated and unreliable
This machine has too many fancy features that look useful in the shop but have never been used in practice. No great thought seems to have gone into the design, e.g you can't clear any programmed time with the door open, you have to close it first and if you switch the machine off and on again you have to set the time before you can microwave your ready-meal. And the display packed up on my machine about 14 months after purchase.

This appliance is brilliant. Absolutely massive and really usefull. I have not used my main oven or grill since purchasing this appliance. It cooks perfectly, much better results than my main oven. Buy this appliance, you will not regret it.

Summary : Excellent value microwave with all bonus features
Purchased a few months ago.
This microwave is sleek in appearance and ideal size to place under kitchen units to save space.
The microwave has many bonus features such as 'digital child lock', jet defrost facility and beeps if you've left something in there a minute after the programme finishes.
Very satisfied with this product which was very cheap in comparison to others on the market.

Summary : timer is hardly clear and easy to read
I've had other microwaves with turn dials (though that was years ago) and they were much easier to read than the dial on this microwave. The dots between 0 and 5 are supposed to correspond with each minute but they don't seem to. I have to use my digital timer to get a specific time because using this dial on this microwave is a guessing game.
I purchased this model because I only have the most basic needs (reheating tea and leftovers) and didn't need all the options listed in other models, but spend the extra money cause one you open the box you are stuck with it.
