I bought this for two reasons, to reheat compresses and to make popcorn. Unfortunately the popcorn bags get stuck and burn.
Decent microwave functions (though 90% of them are not needed) but LED screen stopped working. This means that product is poor value for money considering there is little (if any) added quality for the money. I would opt for something else with a longer all around lifespan.
I’ve been using this for a while now and I’m in absolute love with this. I’ve a large family so having one that works and looks good is a blessing. This does that and more.
Functions fine, but we do get the slight “squeezing” noise when it turns, as some others have described. A slight downside is the incredibly loud ending beep. Our house is an open plan bungalow and so anyone using it when others are in bed WILL wake people up. We’ll get used to it…..
Fits in great with the rest of the Nordic I have purchased. Looks very nice.
It heats your food just fine and works as it should
The only complaint I have is it isn’t as powerful as my last one but that’s not the devices fault that’s on me because I knew what I was buying
Food takes a min longer to heat but still it works great and is a modern trendy addition to my kitchen .
The beep when the microwave is finished is very loud which is useful for hearing from another room but a bit surprising at first if you aren’t expecting it.
The outside cleans up well the inside mostly cleans up easily but be careful of a small piece of ‘card’ (yes card) that is printed in silver ink and is very fragile -it’s on the right side, top right, it needs to be in place and will obviously stain and hard to clean. I wondered what it was and why such a fragile part of the design.
It looks great – does the job but the timer is a bit less straightforward then my old microwave.
This is a lovely microwave really simple to use. My only complaint is when it arrived it has some sticky residue. Almost like a large sticker had been pulled off. Which has left the finish uneven, but we should be able to get this off after a few cleans
Microwave is very easy to use and you can see it’s made with quality materials. It was a little bit on the expensive side but it does make a difference in our kitchen and people have commented on how smart it is.
Nice looking and quite a small footprint. There are a couple of things off though. Even on full power this microwave is about 50% less powerful than our ten year old one it’s replacing. Cooking times are much higher. Also the tray makes a squeezing noise as it turns. But hey, it matches my wife’s toaster now, so she is happy.
Had power issues from start and now doesn’t heat anything on any setting/power
Very bad considering the price we paid for this
Great looking microwave, love the soft touch matte effect and the wood effect brings something wonderful to its look, however I wish someone had reviewed this against the rest of the Nordic Slate Grey range as the colour difference is vast. The microwave is darker wood and a different grain completely to the kettle and toaster and the ‘Slate Grey’ is a few shades darker. lucky for me my microwave is on a different worktop at the opposite side of my kitchen so it’s not glaringly obvious but if you plan on having the range side by side it is something to be mindful of before purchasing.
All in all a great little microwave and worth the price

A little bit more in price but better quality and style is worth i
Been using for about 6 weeks now, looks smart and performs as expected. Seems a bit plasticier than our old Panasonic but works perfectly.

Not sure about the bad reviews here. I’ve had this microwave for a while, don’t really like them but bought it to heat up these fitness meals that must be heated in microwave.
Been using it regularly for 6+ months now, no problems at all. It also looks nice unlike most other microwaves. Was shocked about how much it cost but better than a dirty ass ugly microwave isn’t it. It’s easy to clean.
I have it for 3 months now and it’s amazing.
I do popcorn, heat the food,defrost,etc.
I have the all collection so I am very proud when guests compliments the appearance of the kitche

This doesn’t do anything particularly special as microwaves go, but that’s just fine. In my case it replaced a boggo Tesco microwave that started playing up and I fancied something a bit stylish. I’ve no interest in being matchy-matchy and already have a good kettle and toaster so won’t be adding the rest of the Nordic range to this.
It’s pretty compact. It fits one of my massive dinner plates just fine but I wouldn’t mind a little bit more height, it’s right on the cusp for heating a packet of rice or a big jug of something. On the plus side it fits nicely in the space vacated by my tiny former microwave.
The buttons all make sense and are nice and tactile and the mirrored front doesn’t get too grubby, it’s easy to wipe down.
Problems are really minor. The beep’s pretty obnoxious, the clock can’t keep time and occasionally I hear a squeak/creak as the plate rotates.
Very easy to use, does things very well..love it!
Bought the whole set. Kettle, toaster and Microwave when I moved to my new place. Super happy with this purchase. Slightly to expensive but I won’t be buying another set hopefully for a very long time. Would highly recommend

perfect delivery. super fast and efficient. however, a part of the microwave came loose inside it and in the manual it was written that I should make sure it was securely fastened. I snapped it but I don’t think it could be loose 🙁

I just liked the look of it. It does all it should do and fits in well with other equipment. Highly recommended

Very pleased with this purchase- I would call it a warm white and it blends nicely with my cream colour kitchen units. The handle is quite a dark oak colour. Takes a large Denby dinner plate for a small microwave. Easy to use & much smaller than previous microwave.

Bought this as interior is enamelled so should not rust. My previous microwave rusted. This is a good microwave at a reasonable price
“Hugely! Hugely, Impressed with this item”. The Company – Business, known as Swan I have purchased over the years & watched them steadily improving in both Quality & Design. Also reasonably affordable within the market place & longevity of their products equall to say the more expensive other brands of manufactures available to the Customer within the market place. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend their goods whatsoever. “Outstanding & Very Stylish & easily ie Functional. Impressive & Well thought out Designs etc. (though I could of done without having to make such a purchase just b4 the New Year 2022. Holidays) : (
: ) Now having the bread bin the Nordic Kettle & the Nordic Microwave this rreview pertains, relates to in my kitchen & I can honestly say I have not (as yet ?) had any problems with them.
Priced… A Humble Reasonable! though if anything, though perhaps I shouldn’t say they are undervalued, priced. As I would of happily paid more for their items. Very Very Pleased indeed.
Exceptional Without doubt, “Highly Recommended”!! from a fussy high standard customer ,& both Swan & Amazon have delivered.
PS, sometimes if like me you look for, in your own opinion the best of a product you have to spend time searching on here for a considerable amount of time to eventually find Amazon’s some hidden gems!
Thanks.
just what I needed, matches the kitchen with style. along with the Toaster and Kettle, Wish there was a “Digital” slow cooker to match, along with utensils. I think the utensils only come in grey
It looks very nice on the kitchen counter, is easy to clean, and good value too. The surface is matte grey and has a nice feel to it. It seems like it could be scratched easily though, but hasn’t happened yet in 2 months and I’m the sort that use and abuses. No complaints at all!
This is either underpowered or faulty ! It’s quicker to heat or reheat on the hob
Pretty easy to use and looks really nice woukd recommend
Very pleased with this microwave. I downsized and had no built in microwave but prefer this sitting on worktop. I only ever used a microwave to heat things up despite having an all singing all dancing one before so this is perfect. It’s simple to use and has more functions and I’ve actually used the defrost mode with this although I need to read the instructions to do more. Knowing me I’ll still just use it mainly for heating up beans etc !
Look great and works well as a microwave should, simple one touch operatio
Looks so nice, simple to use. I ended up getting the matching toaster. Really happy with my purchase.
First one barely worked a few weeks, but did get a replacement which was good news. The new one seems to currently be behaving.
This is another case of a product of this range not quite being right. Items that was microwave safe for all my old microwaves seemed to upset this one, be careful of any product that might have any metallic content going inside, including food apparently.
The digital display went whack and even resetted itself or even turned off.
My replacement seems to be working OK, but it’s a bit sad when my newest microwave is so sensitive I have to stop using products my old microwaves happily heated up without a problem.
Lovely looking microwave. Good value for money. Big enough for full size dinner plate to fit in.
Mainly used for reheating and defrosting.
Would recommend.
Easy to use and well designed. Just a shame that it’s more blue in colour than the kettle and toaster available as part of the same range.
The door is also a slightly different colour to the body of the microwave.
Nice peice of kit and does what it’s supposed to, a bit cheaper would be nice but it fits the esthetic theme of the kitchen.
Wanted something a little more elegant than the usual white/silver/black microwaves. This combines style with substance. Been using for 6 months and no problems so far, very happy with it!
Had this for over a month now and love it. It looks good and is just the right size that dosent over power the kitchen. It works really well and cooks everything perfectly. Very pleased
Lovely looking microwave. Slightly on the blue grey side of grey. Love the mirror effect of the door.
I have only given it 4 stars as the first one we received didn’t work. It lit up and turned – but no heat. The replacement and return process was really easy and fuss free.
The microwave is very sleek, soft to touch ( I know random, but true it has a silky feel), and of course does the usual things I microwave does. I would recommend and think it looks super stylish in the kitchen.
Pretty simple to use. Love the design, the only issue I have is that the wood on the handle does not match with the ( matching) kettle and toaster but pretty minor.
Its good and easy to use and easy to clean.
I absolutely love this microwave. I read loads of microwave reviews and this seemed to be overall the best. I went for the green colour. The door has a mirrored effect so it looks really good. The microwave is so easy to use and I am absolutely delighted with it. Also when I open the microwave door, it stays firm on the unit so the weight balance is good. I highly recommend the microwave and it was a really good price and value for money.
Took a few goes at figure out the settings, I’m ok with it now. Features express button for quick heating up.
It’s stylish matching my kitchen decor.
Simple to operate looks great in our kitchen. Stylish and powerful
I appreciate the clock is a secondary function, but in a kitchen with a few clocks, it’s nice to have them all synchronised.
Other than that, very good, small and modern microwave.
Looks brilliant in the kitchen, easy to use. Well pleased with this so far.
It is a little hard to see inside the microwave at the stuff that’s cooking but no big deal. Downside is you can’t change the volume of the beeps when it is done as they are pretty loud!
This microwave is very aesthetically pleasing looks great in the kitchen especially with the wood effect matching the surfaces. However had i realised how loud the beeps are i probably wouldn’t have bought it, as having a toddler and a baby the beeps can disturb naps!
Microwave looks smart on kitchen top, bought with the matching kettle – the wooden effect handles are slightly different shades however as they are not placed together it is not an issue.
This is a small but beautiful Microwave. Easy to use, works brilliantly and looks amazing. I’ve never bought Swann products before but I can highly recommend them
Looks digital but you still have to turn a dial, that’s not made me not like it though, I love the desig
Update…. I’ve noticed that the digital clock gains a minute every few days, so I have to alter this whenever it gets too inaccurate. Slightly annoying.
So hard to find a functional yet stylish microwave that doesn’t cost the earth! This ticks ALL the boxes! Love it!
Not the cheapest but does look great in our grey kitchen, works perfectly
The dial is also a lovely addition. Most of us use a microwave for 2 or 3 things. Press the express button to get 30 seconds on the clock and then you can twist the dial to increase that to 1 min or 2 min (in 10s increments), which to me is much more satisfying than repeated button pushes.
The construction of this is absolutely on par with anything else. Samsung pr whatever I’ve no doubts about that. Any concerns anyone has raised about moisture or anything like that would apply to any other microwave.
Looks good and cooks well although a bit expensive for my liking but I’m not the boss
