DEBORAH, NEWPORT, SOUTH WALES

+ THE UNIT IS ATTRACTIVE AND QUITE CONTEMPORARY WITHOUT BEING COMPLICATED TO OPERATE, WHICH IS PERFECT FOR MY ELDERLY MOTHER (SHE ALSO FINDS THE HANDLE AND DIAL CONTROLS GREAT FEATURES COMPARED TO PUSH BUTTONS WHICH ARE NOT REALLY SUITABLE FOR ARTHRITIC OR UNSTEADY HANDS) THE DISPLAY IS EASY TO READ AND UNDERSTAND. NO COMPLICATED PROGRAMMING NECESSARY!!!!!!

- IT OBVIOUSLY TAKES TWO (IN OUR CASE FEMALES) TO UNBOX AND PUT IN PLACE (A VERY MINOR POINT.

Bea, Norfolk

+ It's ok as a standard microwave. Much better than my last all singing and dancing combination one! If this lasts more than 2 years, it will be a bargain. Easy to use

- A little on the small side inside.

Simon, Cheshire , “Busy mum or dad”

+ For the price a nice design compared to others on offer at time of purchase. Easy to use and we only require basic usage anyway.

- been returned 2 times for the same fault. The fault is the digital display which has twice faded so the digits are unreadable. On my third microwave now so fingers crossed. I both cases they faded within 6 months.
