I am delighted with the look of my new microwave, which is far more stylish and takes up less space than my old one. When in microwave mode it is louder than I am used to, but not overpoweringly so. Being relatively light, it does have a tendency to slide across the worktop when I pull the door open, but I have cured this by putting a small piece of blue tack under each of the front feet. Also, the notch on the selector knob indicating which mode has been selected is a little difficult to see with my poor eyesight, but again I have cured this by sticking a small sliver of sticky black paper where the notch is. So, a few minor drawbacks but overall I am very pleased.

This microwave is amazing, what more can I say? It’s small and compact and even though it’s only 800 W, It packs a powerful punch it heats up soups, Stews, and other frozen foods with ease. There are multiple functions with only two dials on the microwave, one to set the function (including auto-cooking) which ranges from re-heating up a drink to defrosting your next meal, warming up bread (to make it as fresh as the day it was baked), rice to steaming veg You can even change the power settings which range from medium-low which is 40 percent medium-high which is 80 percent and 100 Percent being the highest setting which is obviously 800 W.I have two concerns though, 1, when in use, the outside casing gets hot. I’m not too sure how this will effect the longevity as, other microwaves I have had (as far as I can recall) didn’t get hot to touch and 2, with it being compact, you can’t fit a normal sized dinner plate in and, when opening the door, the microwave moves as it is lighter than standard microwave ovens.
