SMEG Stainless almost bullet-proof microwave oven.
4/5
This is certainly a quality product, large, solid, stylish and gives an impression of quality and has FULL function, Microwave, Grill and Convection oven. Not perfect however, fell short of 5 stars because:
1) The door stops abruptly at 90 degrees, so be carefull not to open too enthusiastically or the door hinges could easily be damaged... a wider opening angle of 120 degrees with a damper would have been good for such a high-end item.
2) The door latch uses the same plastic lugs as much cheaper models, again a metal design would go with the overall quality design.
3) The Stop/Cancel button is 3rd down on the right-hand side, not the most intuitive place when you're rushing to cancel it !
Apart from my 'niggles', this is a beautiful and very capable oven.
