Looks good and cooks well although a bit expensive for my liking but I’m not the boss
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.

Not the cheapest but does look great in our grey kitchen, works perfectly
So hard to find a functional yet stylish microwave that doesn’t cost the earth! This ticks ALL the boxes! Love it!
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.

Looks digital but you still have to turn a dial, that’s not made me not like it though, I love the desig
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
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 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!
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!
Looks brilliant in the kitchen, easy to use. Well pleased with this so far.
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.
Simple to operate looks great in our kitchen. Stylish and powerful
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.
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.
Its good and easy to use and easy to clean.
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.
I think It’s a bit on the small side personally though. A large Starbucks cup for example will fit inside but the door opening is so narrow (in height) that you have to tilt the cup, potentially spilling your Caramel Brule Latte in the process!
I also think that the 800watt power rating is a little over stated – our old 800w microwave seemed a little faster/hotter, don’t get me wrong, it’s there’s not a huge difference, I don’t have a ‘proper’ way of testing its power output, I’m not “comparing eggs with eggs”, so I might be doing it an injustice.
Overall it is a great little “mee-cro-wa-vay” as Nigella Lawson likes to say

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.
Lovely looking microwave. Slightly on the blue grey side of grey. Love the mirror effect of the door.
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
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
Looks so nice, simple to use. I ended up getting the matching toaster. Really happy with my purchase.
Look great and works well as a microwave should, simple one touch operatio
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 !
Pretty easy to use and looks really nice woukd recommend
This is either underpowered or faulty ! It’s quicker to heat or reheat on the hob
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!
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
“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.
Bought this as interior is enamelled so should not rust. My previous microwave rusted. This is a good microwave at a reasonable price
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.
