"It works perfectly, seems sturdy and has been very reliable to date. It also fits in with the kitchen well and has all the functions you'd need.. There are only a few negatives:
You can only cook in increments of 30 seconds... There is no dial to maybe cook for 5, 10, 15 seconds which is somewhat annoying.
You can't see the food while you're cooking. I'm used to there being a light on when it's operating but you have to open the door to check progress, which is a major design flaw; and
It just doesn't feel quite as premium as it looks in the photographs.
Saying that, it replaced a microwave which addressed all the negatives described above but was grossly unreliable, so I'm quite glad to have something which works and does not feel like it's going to lose functionality anytime soon. If there was a 3.5 stars option, I would have given that.

"The microwave is for use on our boat and was chosen for size to fit the available space, replacing an old microwave of similar dimensions, so I have only tried it once at home. However, I know the non see-through door is going to annoy me for ever and I would not have purchased this microwave, had another suitable sized microwave been available. I am just surprised the manufacturer has not already changed this specification, as it comes in for regular criticism in other reviews."

"Initially I was concerned as it was smaller than the oven it replaced. This has not been an issue as the 25 litre size easily accommodates my largest dish.
I've tried all the cooking options and have been very happy with them all. The Hoover HMC125TB-UK does everything I wanted and it looks good. "

"Great service from ao.com they have a price match service but already we’re the cheapest in any event. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff and the product is exactly what we needed. It’s very efficient and easy to clean and a good all rounder which is what we need in our family."
