Paul, Lingfield

+ Looks great, not to many buttons on the outside.

- A bit small on the inside, some of our dishes that fitted our last full size microwave are a little cramped in this one.

+ 1000W so cooks everything in extra quick time! Looks fantastic

- The time buttons only go up by 10 seconds on each push which is quite time consuming on an 8 min item of food!

Jack, Freshwater

+ Easy to use. Once I'd got the settings and its idiosyncracies, it was great. Sleek and good-looking, too. Very 21st Century, eh?

- It doesn't bring my dinner out to me on a tray or fetch me coffee in bed in the morning.

Gavin, Southport

+ Looks really great - modern & stylish. Spacious powerful oven with lots of additional features. Good price so represents excellent value for money.

- Very difficult to keep it looking good. Fingerprints etc on glass / chome. Don't really use the grill feature but apparently not that effective (are any?) Not many meals etc have 1000 watt recommended cooking times on them at present so tend to use at 800 watts alot.
