Plenty of room inside compared to other microwaves.
Good finish.

+ I was looking for a microwave preferably of 900 w which didn't include a grill and this was one of the few that fitted my requirements. It is a good size and easy to use. It does all the tasks I require of it to my satisfaction. I wait to see if it lasts as long as my original Budgen microwave which lasted over 20 years and waas so easy to clean and keep nice even when quite old.

- I have only had the microwave for a short time so too early to be sure but so far have had no problems and am very satisfied with it.

+ easy to use and consistent.

- none that I am aware of

+ at the moment everything is good about it

- no bad points at all at the moment

+ 900 watts,easy to use fast timer, looks stylish

+ Fast and efficient

- Took a bit of getting used to as the controls work differently from my previous microwave but I find it quite easy now.

+ It works as it's supposed to work.

- The numbers on the buttons do have sufficient contrast and are difficult to read.
Entering times for cooking can be awkward.
The predefined cooking programs are useless, but then they are on all other microwaves, too!
The unit does not sit squarely on a flat surface. One of the feet is out of true hence it wobbles slightly.

+ Easy to use, once you get used to it. Not at all difficult just different to previous one.

+ Nice design, big capacity, powerful oven.

- Small thing but it has a very loud end beep.

+ Smart looking
All the features of more expensive models
High power for low price

- The feet are not quite level, unit tilts, had to put card under one foot.
Door pull requires force that makes the whole unit slide on worktop unless held in position with other hand.
Cooking time input a bit long winded
Could do with stronger contrast labeling on key pad for poor eyesight users.
Instruction manual printed on very low quality paper, not good in kitchen environment

+ Heats well and looks good.

- Not too straight forward to use. Weights etc...

+ ease of use, spacious, value for money

- yet to find

+ very good value for money. Easy to use and looks good.

- You have to be careful how to open as have to pull handle quite hard.
