Love the retro feel
Love the retro feel of this, microwave. Excellent options, easy to understand but you need the book to understand defrost settings
lovely microwave
very easy to use and does what it say on the tin. Very stylish
a
Great value! perfect size for my small kitchen modern design and very easy to use
Great product from Swan!
One of the best purchases i had. So chic and classy! Love this in my grey kitchen motif.
Good looking quality microwave
Bought as present and is a nice piece of kit. Easy use. Looks sharp. All in all great.
A Super Swan Microwave
This Swan microwave is easy to use with very clear instructions and excellent guide book.
The colour range is amazing and would enhance any kitchen. Overall the microwave is small., neat and not too heavy to lift in place. I am delighted with my Swan – and it carries a guarantee too!
I would happily recommend this product to everyone who needs to brighten up their kitchen with a useful and important addition to their cooking range
Great Price
Love my new microwave easy to use and a fabulous colour …. to add a bit of a zing to the kitche
Very powerful for a small microwave
Fantastic little microwave and powerful we needed one to fit under a unit and this was perfect easy to operate and very nicely made off grey colour very happy with the price too would recommend this microwave to anyone great delivery speed and friendly selle
Classy Purchase
I bought this Microwave to match my newly renovated kitchen. It goes really with the interiors in he kitchen
Lot of compliments during house warming party
SO EASY TO USE. UNCOMPLICATED DIALS
Bought to replace same model i previously had in black (it went a bit rusty inside after a few years use but I was very happy with it). I just find the dials so uncomplicated compared to digital ones where you’re supposed to memorise how many times to press a button to get the required feature!! Also love the retro style.
I loved i
I bought this as i’ve seen it and loved it, the only problem is that if you don’t use lid to cover your liquid food, in the long run this will ruin the painting inside the cooking chamber by chipping it. Real pity i had to dump it.
Looks good and works well
Brought mainly for the look which is as expected and a nice retro design which suits our kitchen well. A little smaller than I expected but is to the measurements advertised so my fault for not checking that exactly before I bought it. Nice features that work well and does what a microwave should with numerous settings.
Looks as good as it works
Love the look of this microwave it works perfectly too.
Stylish microwave
This microwave is just perfect for our kitchen , it is not too big , it is not too small and it looks really nice !
Only had it a day or so, but pretty pleased with my new purchase. A lovely bright+vibrant colour..
So far just cooked sum jackets in it+warmed up a few bits, but it’s pretty idiot proof+Seems powerful for the job in hand. And the fact also get a two year guarantee If register it online, giving an extra year, is even better..!:-] All In all am chuffed with my purchase.
Great looking little microwave
I wanted to purchase a simple cheap good looking microwave to replace a rather ageing microwave that I bought second hand 10 years ago. Additionally I wanted something that was attractive and would fit in well with my kitchen and I have to say this Swan retro oven ticks all the boxes. It’s very easy to use, does what I require which is very basic sort of cooking/defrosting/reheating. Would highly recommend this oven as a good looking value for money microwave.
colour matching
i bought this item with matching toaster and kettle was very well priced for such a well known product am very pleased i bought these items together well worth the money i paid
Fab looking
I absolutely love it. The colour is great and goes with the other items I have in the lime green. Brightens up the kitchen.
More than I wanted to pay but so glad I bought it!
I absolutely love the colour and the whole cute round edged retro design of this microwave. It fits in well with my brightly coloured mis-matched appliances. I was put off by the 1 star reviews which said it rusts but I have had this microwave for 6 months now and there’s no sign of rust at all. I use it a lot but I do wipe it down and leave the door open to vent after use to prevent condensation.
I have a small kitchen so needed a small microwave which this is – it fits a 25cm (10″) plate no problem but if using a 28cm (11″) plate, they will fit but you have to tilt it slightly to get through the narrower front (see photos).
There’s no 30 second quick press button but you don’t need one as you just turn the dial for the required length of time then press start – so easy to use. It does have lots of features but I haven’t needed to use them. I don’t find food cooks well if I use High (which is supposed to be for quick cooking) so I normally just use M. High (normal cooking) which works fine.
Recommended!
Easy to use
It has a good selection of useful configurations but also is a easy to use machine. Like the colour and pleasant look
Hopefully good
Awaiting this for Christmas as it’s a present from the parents but cant wait to put it in the kitche
GREAT BUY
What a change no complicated programmes just a fabulously looking microwave.
Stunning colou
Bought alongside kettle and toaster, absolutely love the colours, it really makes the kitchen. Works fantastic and would recommend.
Having read the reviews on how the paint flakes away i am hoping that they have sorted the problem . This is a small microwave you can get a dinner plate in ok so that is fine with us
The microwave is very simple to use 2 knobs and two buttons ,it looks very smart and classic and works very well , it is a little noisy but no worse than others
All in all this is a smart item i just hope it lasts longer than the warranty period .
Looks lovely in my kitche
Lovely retro looking microwave. Liked it because it was a little bit different from the usual microwaves. Do be warned that the door is plastic not metal and easily scratches so you need to take care when cleaning. Only use none abrasive cleaning equipment. I wouldn’t let this put you off purchasing. Easy to use no fiddly digital panel just a couple of turns and start. Easy to clean as no grill. Only given 4 stars as the plastic door was a surprise to me but I still like it.
Cute retro look
It’s small but that’s why I picked it, has a really cute retro look and quite space saving. Control is very easy.
Important please read full review
Love the microwave and I did want the full range ie orange kettle toaster, looked on amazon for them but none here, so went on Swan website and they are out of stock with no due back in stock date, which means I’ll have to find an other make of the Orange kettle and toaster, I am very unhappy with this as it will be hard to get a colour match.
Update I held of getting a different make of toaster and kettle and managed to order it from amazon some good months later so now very happy my toaster arrived 5 days early, still waiting on the kettle, the only downside at the moment is I can’t find anymore Swan orange kitchen equipment like the bin, bread bin, tea sugar and coffee containers again very disappointed with Swan, updated 5th November 2020 please stay clear of all Swan products I purchased the kettle, microwave and toaster, the toaster blew my electric 2 weeks in use managed to get a full refund, the kettle the lid is rusting away and it’s not even a year old, my microwave blew the electrics I purchased the microwave in 2019 and I only use it occasionally I’ve replaced the fuse and it’s no longer working, I’m very disappointed with swan, back in my childhood my mother only bought Swan and I honestly thought Swan was a name to be trusted, how wrong am I, they are rubbish, now I have to purchase a new kettle, microwave and toaster, I’m not happy that I now have to replace these in such a short time period, I have very little money and I struggle to purchase these swan items
Ok for the money.
I ordered this in black for my kitchen,It looks quite stylish,The only downside it’s a bit smaller than I thought,Some of my square plates will not fit,But I still use it on most days.
Colou
In use nearly everyday, but the base has become worn and is now starting to show signs of wear. Would have expected better quality from a named brand.
Lovely vibrant colou
Lovely colour. Only criticism is that when it finishes the cook it keeps beeping until you open the door – great so you don’t forget your dinner but annoying if you’ve sterlised baby bottles and gone to bed before the cycle has finished!
Really nice looking microwave and not too big in a small kitchen. Only gripe would be that my old microwave must of had the start and cancel button on opposites sides to this one. I often put the minutes on I want to cook the food for and press cancel instead of start. It’s easy to use and not to complicated though.
Stylish Retro Microwave
The Swan SM22030BN Retro Digital Microwave, 800 W, Black is just great so easy to use and clean, it looks stylish and is great value
Looks nice
Nice little microwave.
There is a mark on the inside of the glass that I’m unable to remove, but didn’t contact Amazon as I couldn’t be bothered to wrap it all back up to send it back.
I only use it to heat my porridge currently and it does the job perfectly.
Liking it so far.
We are pleased with the styling of this microwave. It is a simple microwave, but really like the method of time setting by just spinning the dial. Love the reminder beep that lets you know that you have left something in the microwave after heating. I find it especially useful when I have warmed up a drink as it is easy to forget about when you are busy.
Returned item
Had to return this item as it did not work
Product good packaging damaged
The microwave itself is good and goes well with our kitchen as we have ordered the full range.
However, our packaging was damaged even though it had an amazon seal. I suspect the product was returned due to damage and I have been able to pull out using suction pads.
Looks grea
I bought this after redecorating my kitchen and if fits in perfectly. Easy to use and looks brilliant.
great produc
I mainly use it for defrosting or cooking veg. It did take me a while to get used to this microwave. It’s probably me, because I’d had the same one for over 20 years.
works just fine
manual does not tell you properly how to set the clock . You must press and hold the “submit” button before setting a new time
Easy to use
Lovely microwave, easy to use and a nice red. However not too keen on plastic handle.
10 out of 10
I love my pink microwave. One Year on it still works perfectly and rather than a microwave with a dark inside it’s white and easy to see the dirt . Looks fab in my grey kitchen with pink accessories . If you want a 1960s retro and bright look I would 100% recommend this microwave .. it’s also very practical and easy to use too
Looks and works grea
Great looking. Easy to use. Very happy with this microwave. I have gone for the light green colour as I like to be different! I like the tip in the instructions, to wipe out the condensation after use (or I sometimes leave door open for a short while to dry out), as apparently this lengthens the life of the microwave. I can see this makes sense as my previous m.waves have all gone rusty with paint flaking off inside after quite short time spans. I have never read this tip before in other leaflets. Very useful and grateful.
Gorgeous design, quirky and sturdy. Very happy!
Fantastic microwave, great brand, really great look with a retro-modern twist. Cleans up easy, right blue LED for time/clock. Fairly simple to understand despite having several cooking options/methods. I recommend for the general use and great price.
Handle seems to pick up grease/marks a lot quicker than my previous microwave, but nothing a wet wipe or dishcloth won’t sort out!
Super retro fab microwave
Loved the design, cream and smaller than most microwaves so fits onto a smaller counter space, instructions a little difficult to follow but got the hang of it, very retro, would recommemd, I have had no condensation collecting on glass door at all as others who purchased said, no complaints
Fits in perfectly with kitche
When we got a new kitchen I wanted a green microwave to match the new decor. My choice was limited so I ordered this one (though would have preferred 900w).
On opening the box I was pleased with the design, but thought it looked too small. Our previous microwave was an oven/grill too, so it was quite a bit larger, and I was worried it wouldn’t fit our needs (family of 4 with two hungry boys!)
I had it all packed up to send back, then thought at the last minute that I’d try it out. I’m glad I did because it’s actually just right. It fits a dinner plate and one of my large baking bowls (just) which is all I need really.
It looks really smart with the rest of my green appliances and is easy to use and clean.
Super microwave
Very stylish, clear display if not quite small text (my dad needed to put his readers on), and simple to clean. Lots of options on how to work it, and it can be a bit confusing without reading the manual for things like setting the clock.
Well made, effective and efficient, medium size retro style.
I like this very much, however ours is not a large family and we don’t use a microwave on a daily basis. It is well made, stylish, easy to use/regulate, tucks away nicely on a shelf ready for use. Easily cleaned, sturdy retro style.
Loved i
Got this for my daughter xmas last year as she’s got the othe swan vintage stuff , it’s really nice and easy to use so that is nearly a year and still going great , she was over the moo
Good
It’s a good microwave that looks stylish. Just might be a watchout that if you slightly pull the door (but not fully open it) the microwave switches on by itself (included video).
Otherwise it’s quiet and will beep every so often if you haven’t opened the door after switching it on which is handy.
Microwave, heats food stuffs, and non metallic liquids.
Of all the Swan retro range this is my favourite. It heats food and liquids well, care must be taken on removal from the microwave as they become quite hot. Liquids and indeed most foods are best heated in a glass bowl or handled jug, to avert a swimming pool of molten liquid forming inside the unit. I don’t understand how this could be retro as I don’t think they had microwaves in the 1940’s-50’s? Did micro waves even exist before they were invented – discuss.
Looks fantastic and works brilliant.
Brilliant retro design microwave, had it a few weeks now and its faultless. Looks fantastic when complimented with the full matching range of accessories for the kitchen.
Would recommend
Very pleased with this oven. It looks great and is very easy to operate. Like the digital clock which is on all the time and allows you to set accurate cooking times
Excellent, stylish and mult functional
Very good, looks stylish . Has a huge amount of Differnet options and control settings that I haven’t used but for the genres ones it works very well.
Very pleased with purchase and its a nice slightly less bulky size.
Fantastic Produc
Excellent microwave,looks great and is very easy to use.The display is great with the clock being on all the time.The silver knob is lightly turned round to time to the second,by far the easiest and best looking microwave I’ve owned
Super retro, super creamy!
Delivery came a day earlier than requested, luckily we were in.
We haven’t used the microwave yet as our kitchen is being finished. I can say however, that it is a colour match to the description given and that it actually looks even nicer than online. Very smart looking and exactly what we want for our retro/scandi inspired kitchen.
**UPDATE** We’ve been using the microwave for some time now, and it’s absolutely brilliant! Very easy to use, still looks smart, and I’m so glad we bought it. Very highly recommended!
Nice Colou
I have owned one previously and it worked perfectly but the digital display failed. No response when phoning Swan so purchased another one. Am fully expecting the same fault. Complicated dial setting so only leave it on the same one. Only bought it for the colour!
Almost invisible for the poor sited, which is a pity because otherwise it ...
Only criticism the tiny print on microwave, Almost invisible for the poor sited, which is
a pity because otherwise it is ideal for the elderly. A very powerful magnifying glass is essential.
Four Stars
very retro a bit on the small size does the job
Beautiful microwave! I love it fits in well in my new kitchen and all the interior! So many functions to use on it as well and such a great price! I can now make the perfect pop corn thanks to its setting so no more burnt bits! Or a milky hot choc for my daughter at the perfect temperature not just a microwave a life safer to and such a fantastic price I live everything abouts it from the dignity display to the way it works I haven’t had any problems and I’m so happy! Also great service arrived way before its expected date! Thank you Swan I love it xx
Excellent Pink Microwave, nice quality
Excellent Microwave, arrived on time, perfect colour match for my existing kitchen appliances. Sturdy and well made, clear instructions,
a real gem of a microwave. Could not be happier. Good quality and size, durable and easy clean. looks a treat. Thanks
Retro Look
Really quick delivery product easy to use smaller than most microwaves but looks grea
This microwave is amazing, what more can I say? It’s small and compact and even though it’s only 800 W, It packs a powerful punch it heats up soups, Stews, and other frozen foods with ease. There are multiple functions with only two dials on the microwave, one to set the function (including auto-cooking) which ranges from re-heating up a drink to defrosting your next meal, warming up bread (to make it as fresh as the day it was baked), rice to steaming veg You can even change the power settings which range from medium-low which is 40 percent medium-high which is 80 percent and 100 Percent being the highest setting which is obviously 800 W.
I have two concerns though, 1, when in use, the outside casing gets hot. I’m not too sure how this will effect the longevity as, other microwaves I have had (as far as I can recall) didn’t get hot to touch and 2, with it being compact, you can’t fit a normal sized dinner plate in and, when opening the door, the microwave moves as it is lighter than standard microwave ovens.
Pink microwave
Real simple microwave that even I can operate with no fuss does the porridge lovely in a morning 1 minute 40 seconds and its spot on.her indoors uses it more and hasn’t raised any issues so it. Just be good as for the couloir what’s up with a bit of pink
Good vslue
Perfect except the defrost setting seems to cook rather than defrost but that doesn’t spoil how pleased we are with everything else about it. Easy to use and lovely colour. Really good value
Pretty blue microwave, and works fine but mine arrived with some rust on the door frame, I needed it urgently as was going into hospital and needed it in situ for when I came out so kept it.
Excellent microwave, could maybe be a bit less vocal!
Been using this microwave for a couple of months now, and so far so good.
If I had to find one fault with it, I would be really nit-picking, but when it’s finished, the beeps continue intermittently until you open the door. I use it to sterilise my baby’s bottles – however have quickly learnt not to do them just before bed, as once the cycle is finished, the microwave will continue to beep every few minutes, until you open the door! Slightly frustrating, but not the end of the world.
Four Stars
have to use some smaller plates but really like i
Very easy to use - twist and start and you're are done; and it is gree
95% of the time you want max power for a given time with as little faffing about as possible. I leave the rotary power selector at 100%, turn the timing wheel to the time I need and press go – barring telepathy, I think that’s as efficient as you are going to get. Having said that, you are probably choosing it because of how it looks which is a taste thing and dependent on the colour of the other kit in your kitchen (I’m told that’s important?)
Microwave
Bought as a replacement for my ageing microwave. Am very pleased with the performance, though I must confess I do only tend to reheat and not actually cook from scratch in it. Easy to operate, lovely looking and smaller than my previous one which is great. Plenty of room inside and a large glass turntable. Overall very good product and I would recommend
love the microwave and love the fact that it was properly packed and protected so that when Hermes dropped it over the farm fence it didn’t break!
Pretty good.
Looks lovely, works efficiently and very pleased that mine doesn’t have a condensation problem that others have mentioned, but the door is very stiff to open needing two hands or a hefty jerk.. Closes without difficulty, glad I bought it.
I like it. It arrived Wednesday the 19th
I like it. It arrived Wednesday the 19th. It looks great and does the job. It is a little noisier than the one it replaced which is a pity, but it is still good value for money.

Great retro microwave, easy to use, good value for money & prompt delivery.
Looks good, works even better.
Easy to use, smart looking microwave. Excellent value for money. Colour matches the Swan kettle, toaster and storage containers. Finish the set of Swan kitchen equipment.
Really good purchase.
Simple yet stylish microwave. If you have an oven and don’t need grilling functions, and only use a microwave for heating up drinks, milk and the odd ready meal, then this appliance is ideal. The chunky buttons give an idea of solid construction, and the illuminated display is clear, if not a little basic.
Awesome microwave the orange is matt enough to not look crazy. Only thing is the start and cancel buttons are the other way round when compared to every other microwave I’ve ever had. So I keep hitting cancel instead of sta

its a bit smaller than I imagined but we have had it a while now and its spot on, matches the kitchen.
Good Microwave
Great retro look and easy to use.
After just a few weeks the volume of the bleeps decreased a lot and now I can barely hear, not a major issue but still annoying considering the quality seems to be high.
Do not buy this
I ordered this item for my holiday home and went to a lot of trouble to get it installed. I have now had complaints from 2 sets of guests that it does not work: It does not heat anything up. My cleaner has also tested it, found the same so I would like a full refund. If you want it returned I will also have to add 30 plus postage as the cleaner will charge for taking this to the post office.
colour is fab especially if you want a great shade of gree
Brill if retro is what your after this is it, colour is fab especially if you want a great shade of green, basic micro tho, but that’s all I wanted
o instructions
The microwave itself is great HOWEVER there was NO Instruction Manual. I’ve just had to mess around online finding one to download and that was something of a mission.

It looks brilliant, unfortunately the first one delivered stopped working after a day but this one seems to be doing fine. It’s easy to use and works well
Really nice microwave
Very stylish looking microwave. Simple to use and roomier than you would think, it certainly takes my full size dinner plates and the large size of pyrex bowl. So far I havn’t found anything that I have wanted to put in there that hasn’t fit! Works really well, it’s far better at defrosting than my old microwave. The only mildly irritating thing is that when it’s finished whatever it’s doing it will give three loud beeps but then repeat said loud beeps every three minutes until you go and open the door. It’s good in that you wont forget anything but I often put something in to defrost and then leave it whilst I go and do something else – the beeps then get quite annoying. You feel like your being ruled by your microwave!! A small point really but it could really annoy some!
Love it. The only fault I find with it ...
Love it. The only fault I find with it is the plastic handle, but it’s nothing major. I wouldn’t part with it because of this.
Good Choice...
I spent ages choosing this microwave as my last one lasted 11 years and it didn’t give me a day’s problem. I couldn’t find the same make and wanted a retro style, so I finally opted for this one. As soon as it was out of the box I was really happy with my choice. It’s a beautiful looking piece of equipment! Really compact and stylish. The cream colour is really rich and it looks fabulous in my kitchen. I made a big jacket potato today and it came out perfectly done and piping hot in 10 minutes. No hassle. Here’s hoping it lasts as well as the last one. As usual with Amazon it arrived quickly and well packed. No complaints!
Looks very nice retro look
Looks very nice retro look. Only thing is the black plastic door looks cheap and dull black . Could of been made better as for price not that cheap really
small microwave that is very easy to use
Chose next day delivery for this product and it arrived first thing in the morning. Got it to match the Swan Fridge we already have. The design is very stylish and it a lovely, small microwave that is very easy to use. Dials are simple and instructions are easy. Would recommend
early days but pleased with this product thus fa
early days but pleased with this product thus far. good functionality with easy controls. love the colour. if i had a critism, the interior could be a little bigger.
Very nice Microwave , I read the reviews and their was one bad review but the rest was all good. You can’t go off just one bad review this is a top microwave far better than the one i bought from Argos two years ago and Swan is a very good British make and its made in Britain !
A lighter red than we were wanting but works great and easy to clea
A lighter red than we were wanting but works great and easy to clean. Defrost function can be a little confusing to use as its by weight not time but easy to use otherwise. Keeps beeping in intervals after its finished until you open it which can be a bit irritating if you dont need to immediately remove dish but at least you wont forget about it!
Well made but perhaps expensive
I bought is for my mother who needed something simple. It can seem to be complex as it does offer a number of options. However, put the top dial on full power (high) and turn the bottom knob ANTI Clockwise and it dials down to thhe required to the required time….Simples! The other option is set it to Speed cooking and pressing the lower button increases cooking time in 30 second blocks. It seems reasonably well made and carries a 2 yr warranty. I’m happy. 4 stars rather than 5 simply because it seems a little expensive.
Great design & colour only down side its small to ...
Just what I was looking for. Great design & colour only down side its small to look at but inside is standard size
Good - not amazing but solid
It’s a good little microwave – I admit I bought it for the colour and style, so I’m not too bothered that it doesn’t heat up at the levels I was used to. Nicely, it doesn’t OVER heat which is helpful.
Great microwave
Really pleased with this microwave. It is simple and works a treat. Fits great in the corner of my worktop and the red colour looks fun in my kitchen. It is smaller than my last one but can fit everything in that I need to. Have had it three months now and it is great.
Yes I like this desig
Yes I like this design …it ‘s smaller than I thought it would be ….but love it …suits my decor …does the job ..thank you for a great service …Love Amazon !!

loved the look of this product, brought the cream one which is a lovely deep cream and had lots of compliments. however i find the glass plate slips off the turntable quite easily which can be annoying.

Wonderful little microwave that fits it with old style kitchens where being space conscious. plenty of settings, and can fit a dinner plate in.
works perfectly for the God of all foods; Chicago town mini pizzas! couldnt be happier 🙂
Very beautiful
Beautiful. I like the shape retro design and the colour is amazing a perfect red for my kitchen not too dark not too bright. The screen is beautiful and easy to use as i can choose icons for different food. But I only used twice as it has just arrived so I cannot judge the quality. Till now perfect.
Looks good and cooks food as it should.
Not sure if it only my microwave, but I can start it by slightly opening the door & it will bypass child lock.
This microwave is very efficient and looks really good as well. The choice of colours meant I could have it in black as I have black worktops and cooker etc. Still getting used to it but extremely pleased so far, the price was really good too.
