Reliability at a reasonable price.
4/5
Like most, we purchased as a replacement to our blown microwave.
We waited five days to minimise the delivery cost and the delivery itself was very good with a courteous courier.
Well packaged and far more lightweight compared to our 15 year old microwave.
The mirror door which doesn't allow you to see inside is marmite - you either feel the need to look at your cooking food or you love the fact it's a reflective surface that makes the boxiness of a microwave seem less dense. The instruction manual is good enough though my husband chose not to read it and then complained that he couldn't work it out - I know I'm not on my own there!
You do need to read the operating instructions as guessing how it all works takes way too long.
The control panel is all press sensitive so is a nice easy wipe clean. Personally, I found I had to press quite hard when just setting the time when first installing and that does concern me with regard to how effective that front panel will be over time.
It cooks very evenly and the mid setting for warming up already cooked meat such as a dinner reheat, is fantastic and ensures the meat stays moist.
Our last one was a 1000 kw microwave and this is a 900 kw ... honestly can't tell the difference on performance and cooking time so that's a bonus.
I know other reviews have commented that it's quite noisy and I can only assume they've been very fortunate with their previous models, because it falls within a pretty normal sound range to me.
It looked smaller inside than our other one however it easily takes a dinner plate and it is perfectly suitable for a family of four.
