Jenny, Edinburgh

+ Great wee microwave for good value, our kitchen's quite small so it doesn't take up too much space.

- It's not great at being user-friendly, and it's quite wee (it only fits in the size of a normal dinner plate).

Ann, London

+ Inside capacity was a bit smaller than i expected although big enough for most things. Also minimum time you could put in is 5 second.s would have been handier if went from 0 up, and did not jump from 10 seconds each time time was set.Such as 1 min 10 went right to 1 min 20 can not put in say 1 min 15 for instance. But overll it is doing a decent job for a smaller type of microwave, especially for the price.

+ Exactly what I paid for - perfect for the grad student who uses the microwave to warm the occasional late night meal, make the frequent bag of popcorn, and otherwise have a sleekly unobtrusive piece of machinery in a tiny kitchen. It even has a little indentation on the top, so that things stacked atop it won't slide off or roll away.

- None that I can see thus far.
