"This is an wonderful compact microwave, that looks contemporary and classy with my grey worktops, it's a god send to operate and cooks evenly and throughly.
The brushed steel gives it a timeless finish and it would look very stylish in any kitchen. The size is perfect for me to move around worktops if I fancy a change, its light and compact. I couldn't believe the difference compared to my old one!
The buttons are easy to use and pre settings (potato, vegetables, soup, etc) make cooking times a lot easier! The chrome knob is stylish and easy to use.
I have been happy with the results of my first few meals in this microwave, when operating, it’s quite quiet, and all meals are cooked to a high standard.
The only negatives I could see is that if I was to use it for multiple uses for when I have friends or family around for a big meal, I cannot fit large plate sizes into it therefore I would have to try to balance more out on the cooker.
However I don't tend to do this much and it is only me and my partner so most of the year (apart from Christmas/New Year) this is not an issue at all. I'd just bear in mind if you have a large family and use large plates a lot!
I am VERY happy with this microwave, it is a massive improvement from my old one, I didn't quite realise until it arrived! I would recommend it to anyone especially to those that struggle with size in their kitchens!

"Great, easy to use microwave that looks sleek & stylish in my kitchen. I really like the mirrored front and the big handle, making it easy to open and close. The pre programmed settings are really helpful to cook food based on food type & weight. I also find the defrost setting works really well, and you can also base this on the weight of your food. It's not massive but it's definitely big enough. Overall I'd recommend this microwave for its ease of use and style. "

"The Beko microwave oven is a stylish looking adition to the kitchen. It has an elegant mirrored door and a large handle for opening. Once the door is open there is a light inside which is handy for dimly lit rooms . There is also a sticker located to the top of the oven inside the door with various automatic pre programed cooking times. There is also a full instruction manual inside the box. Located on the right of the microwave is a large visable lcd digital display for clock and timer that is easy to set. There is also a child lock function to prevent little fingers from exploring. On top of the 8 different pre-programmed functions, you also have defrost, which can be by time or by weight and each can also be programmed by the large dial also on the right hand side. I used this microwave to make my big bowl porridge this morning and it was perfect heated up for the exact time it said and the right temperature.
I would recoment this Beko microwave to my friends and family its worth the money and looks lovely in my kitchen. "

"This microwave is easy to use and looks great. Straight away, I found I could use the basic features of this microwave due to the simple button layout and good labelling on the control panel. It is however let down by a few annoying niggles that stop this microwave from being a pleasure to use.
Pros
- Simple auto cook options with pictures inside door to help you remember what each program is does.
- Quick cook – Lets you quickly warm something up with the press of a button.
- Looks good with great mirror finish.
- Child lock feature.
Cons
- To light – When you try to open the door without pushing on the front of the microwave it slides around. This could have been fixed by adding a release button or making the microwave heavier. (Lighter is not always better).
- Annoying beeper – Once the time as reached zero you are alerted by some beeps. These go on for far too long and it becomes annoying.
- Selecting power controls are the wrong way round – To select power or time you spin a control on the front of the microwave, to turn power up you spin it the opposite way to when you turn time up. This is confusing.
Overall, this is not a bad microwave but it is not a great microwave either. I think it is a shame that it is let down by issues that could have been so easily fixed.
