+ Atractive looking.

- To start the microwife you have to dial up the micro power then push start then dial up the time required. You have to repeat this every time you use it, its a bit of a pain. The microwave lots bigger than it is.

- Wish the dial/buttons were on the outside, but I suppose that would spoil the front appearance.

+ its looks - it looks great on the side, and with the controls behind the door, it looks sleek and clean.
I dont use all the features on it, use a microware for reheating and microwave meals only, and this it does very well.
the inside is a dasrk grey, so again is much easier to keep looking clean.

- none that I have found so far.
