good value

"Easy to use, feels and looks a solid good quality microwave. The fan is as quiet as my previous models. The "ping" when finished is not very loud. "

Customer Rating:

Poor reliability

"This purchase replaced the same model after only 6 years when it failed. The main reason for buying the same unit was to mach the existing fan oven.

The 10 year parts warranty is not great value as you have to their direct service so the parts cost is hidden in the hourly rate."

Customer Rating:

Badly designed and poor build quality

"The front of the microwave has a high end look and solid feeling door, unfortunately that's the end of the good points.

I have cuts on my fingers from lifting the microwave out of its packaging - I have been an engineer for 28 years so I don't have delicate hands!

The operation of the microwave mode defaults to 650W every time you use it, even when you need to add a bit more time you have to keep setting the power level back up before you set the time.

The light has not been installed in line with the grille opening so you only get reflected light inside, with the door shut and in operation you cannot see anything.

During operation it is extremely noisy, our previous microwave (Panasonic) was also a full convection oven and was much quieter.

I am seriously thinking about returning this item as it is just poorly designed in nearly every aspect."

"Excellent microwave oven. Looks great, is sturdy and stylish. Functions are easy to use and it works really well on all settings. It's quite quiet compared with other integrated ovens I've used and the cooling fan isn't too noisy and intrusive. The light inside is effective for viewing food whilst cooking. No complaints so far. Its as i expected it to be."
