Phil, Liverpool , “Average skilled microwave user”

+ Particularly like the fact the cooking time increments by 30 seconds, rather than 1 minute, each time the start button is pressed. Auto Cook works well for rice.Stainless steel interior quite good to keep clean. Feet stick really well to the top of the fridge so does not move around as door is opened and closed. Turntable seems to mean food cooks quite evenly. Like the LCD display in blue. Great price when sourced online.

- Stainless steel exterior shows up finger marks so it is a bit hard to keep the outside looking good. Door takes quite a decent tug to open. Little bit fiddly using the dial to set power and time so tend to just use the auto start button.

Di, Christchurch , “Long time housewife”

+ looks good, large capacity, easy to clean, like the fact that you can add on 30 secs at any time without having to reset cooking time

- if using for a while e.g. jacket potatoes, I find that the outer covering (being stainless steel) gets hot which may be a problem if young children in house. Clock display disappears (assume energy saving feature) so cannot use as main clock in kitchen

Tracy, Lytham St. Annes

+ Looks stylish, easy to use. Even cooking results

- Defrost programme setting seems to be a bit high. Ends up cooking before item is defrosted. For defrosting it is better to use the second lowest microwave cooking setting.

Helen, Wokingham

+ I wanted a straightforward microwave without a grill, etc. and this seemed one of the best. It looks smart and feels solid. Although it's 750 watt, you can adjust the power to suit what you're cooking.

- None.

- Handle could be more solid. Had one before and the catch at the bottom of the door and the handle eventually fell apart. Our machine does get well used but another microwave of a different variety has lasted longer however it is not so easy to use.

- Only bad point is you can't see the food inside when it's cooking - the door glass is too dark, so its hard to tell if you are overcooking something.
