"Siemens used to make a brilliant microwave. My previous model had 1000W power, with smaller outer dimensions and a mechanical release on the door, it lasted 15 years. This new one looks sleek but as expected the "fancy" door release has failed after less than 2 weeks. It is 32C outside at the moment and there is chicken now stuck inside the microwave. Siemens cant do anything until tomorrow, AO cant do anything until tomorrow. DO NOT BUY THIS MICROWAVE - you can get ones with mechanical doors - get one of those. Siemens do not make good microwaves any more."
"Great product and easy to use. Would recommend this product "
"The Siemens IQ-500 is exactly what I was looking for. It has the simplest operation and all the settings required by me.I like the look, facilities and operation especially the touch door opening. I have no dis-likes."

"Very quite operation. easy to install. The door button to open is a touch button and it opens 'magically' (automatically). Now while its fancy, i do worry its something that is not as easy to repair as a more traditional push button. The touch controls are a bit fiddly. i preferred the previous model which this replaced. Also lets face it, its pretty pricey for something that 'just' microwaves stuff. But when everything else matches....."

"Really happy with my purchase. The microwave is really quiet (much quieter than my old bosch) and even has a fancy door release button and touch controls. Great tech for the price and looks smart too. Would definitely recommend it. "
