Score 9.0/10

+ It's compact, very easy to clean. The bright interior light is great for viewing your food whilst it's heating and the silver design is very stylish which looks great in my kitchen. The controls are very straight forward and intuitive which makes it ideal for those who fear the complexity of some Microwaves. As a basic microwave, it's great quality and heats up the food really well.

- Because of it's light weight, it does tend to move backwards on the worktop when you push the buttons with reasonable force, particularly the button to open the door. When closing the door, you need to use a bit more force than you would expect and it does sound quite clunky when it does close due to the latch mechanism. Finally, the heat settings are in Lo, warm, medium & Hi rather than 400w, 600w, 700w, 750w, 850w, so when heating food according to packaging which states the setting you should you in watts, you have to refer to the manual to determine what setting you need.

Ray, Newcastle , “Function before style, mostly.”

Score 9.0/10

+ Tall cavity by a few centimetres. Can fit in and remove a Lakeland (tall) rice steamer. slightly shorter cavities give about 0.5 cm total clearance, not very safe when removing a pot of boiling water & rice.
Steel casing, push button door, no plastic handles or other bits.
Does the job, looks good in a modern kitchen.

- Instructions for changing the to any of the 5 power level are non-existant. There is no numerical 'power selected' display, just a horizontal bar that moves down/across/up the blank LCDs when you push the 'power level' button. You have to count down from the max power in units of 50 watts at each button press. You get used to it.
Shape is a bit boxy, could do with a curved top edge.

Plenty of space inside the oven, so one does not need to worry about recipient sizes. The oven has two racks that can be used to cook different items at the same time.

- Might be quite tricky to use because of the many functions it has. It is worth a reading to the operating manual.
