    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.

    Golden Review Award: 5 From Our UsersDoes exactly as it says re item description, I love the colour , although the handle is completely different to kettle in the same range . But , I laughed so much at the actual size , and to open the door you have to grip the microwave with other hand or you’ll physically move it across the unit . I’m going to keep it and see how it goes . Photo show’s it in comparison to the one I’m giving away

    So so small

    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…..

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersIt’s a very nice addition to the kitchen and looks quite stylish unlike some of the boring looking things on the market
    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.

    Golden Review Award: 10 From Our UsersI purchased a set of kettle and toaster to go with it in a new kitchen. It all looks nice but after use it is not that sturdy compared to other brands.. The ‘wood’ features are printed not real wood in case you wondered.
    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.

    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.

At this rate the quality of “Scandinavian look”18 years will cost me 900 only on microwaves. Not to mention all the effect on the environment – binning them every two years! Worst investment ever!

    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

    Great but not the same colour as the rest of the co-ord items in the range

    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.

    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.

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) : (

    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.

    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.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersThis microwave looks really nice, works well, and is value for money. I would give it 5 stars, but had to give it 4 because the clock is fast, very fast. After only 1 month it was fast by 4 minutes. So after a year that translates to an astonishing 48 minutes! How can you get the clock wrong? It’s the most simple thing to program (being a programmer, I know). Now I’m stuck with resetting it manually every month.

    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.

    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!

    Golden Review Award: 22 From Our UsersI wanted a compact, simple, easy to use and relatively cheap microwave that would blend into our cream and wood kitchen. This fits the bill. It has a button for 30 seconds microwaving, a button for 1 minute microwaving and you can use the dial to increase or decrease the time once it’s running too. It has several power settings so you can decrease it for defrosting etc. There are some preset menus which I would never use but all microwaves seem to have this feature which I find pointless. Have been using a few weeks and it’s going fine so far.

    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.

    Golden Review Award: 35 From Our UsersWe bought one of these in cream/wood finish primarily on looks. No other microwave adds to the aesthetics of a kitchen like this does. I also love the fact that it has tactile buttons, i.e. raised buttons that are easy to press and NOT those annoying hard press sunken things you get on other microwaves.

    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.

    Gorgeous and built as well as any other microwave
