Dorothy, Falkirk , “Like books, sarcastic !”
+ Easy to clean, looks good, relaible brand.
- Not got used to timings yet - different from my last microwave oven, so tend to overheat food. Feel that the turntable is a bit unstable when lifting out bowls, etc.

+ easy to use, looks good and
- you have to really pull hard on the door to open it, which spills anything inside, plus sometimes the butoons don't recognise they are being pushed and have to be pressed a few times. and the cardboard (thingy) inside keeps coming off, according to the manual it says it should not be taken out, but from day one is has been reluctant to stay attached.

Sandra , Milton Keynes
+ The machine is very user friendly, it has a one minute, 10 minute automatic timer, automatic defrost for frozen weights on various foods, there is also a good feature for frozen meals. It also has a 'beep' system when the programme has ended, which reminds you every minute until you open the door, which if like me you pop something in the microwave and then do other things around the house, just a gentle reminder that the programme selected has ended.

Susan, Yeovil
+ Easy to understand the controls, easy to clean. Quieter in operation than my previous microwave. Cooks evenly.
- the turntable can easily be pushed out of the proper line when moving dishes out. Its not a major worry just a little niggle though.

Susan, Manchester , “I cook fresh daily.”
+ easy to use. Big enough for two people. Neat in appearance. Clear instructions, easy to follow.
- Auto defrost isn't entirely automatic. Programme switches off every three minutes for turning food round and over, which considering there is a turntable, i wouldn't have thought necessary. Otherwise, OK.

- Only thing was I wish the quick start was for 30 seconds, rather than a minute. Not a bad point really but I always warm my little girl's drink for 30 seconds!

Alan, Buckhurst Hill, Essex
+ I had larger sensor model for years, as that has packed up I decided to replace it with a smaller model as I now live on my own. It is good looking and neat, I miss the sensor cooking but it was so cheap I cannot complain.
- The only problem will be that being smaller inside I will not be able to get my very large casserole dish inside when I have the family round for Xmas. It is so light that when opening the door I tend to pull it along, so I must get used to holding the cabinet with one hand whilst pulling the handle. My old one had a push button door opener.
