Purchased because they claim it’s ultra quiet – mute the beeps, soft close door, fraction of the usual operating noise.
Reality is:
1. You can mute beeps – this is wonderful!
2. The door is a little bit softer than usual, but don’t expect whisper quiet
3. Operating noise is more or less what I expect with any microwave – I couldn’t tell any difference
I do really like it, but I think it’s about twice as expensive as it should be and they’re overstating how quiet it is.
Super easy to clean, enough options to make my life easier. The lovely design is another great thing about it 🙂
I love sage products but kind of just thought this was just a microwave, but things are just well thought out.
For example if you need to microwave late at night or early in the morning without waking the house with beeps and boops, press the mute button and it is silent in terms of beeping, add this to the quiet close door that you just cannot slam and it is fantastic.
The auto cook options seem to work a lot better than just guessing the weight and power needed for something. For example a jacket potato auto cook option, just press the button, select the number of potatoes and it always comes out perfectly.
Good microwave, easy set up and works well, have had sage before without any problems
Sturdy, strong, designer microwave that is simple to use ,looks great, and won’t rust inside , worth the extra as designed to last .
It seems to be doing the job, happy with it so far. Looks very nice . Packaged well had to give a code on delivery for security. Happy with Product and it arrived a day early.
Well built, easy to use microwave. The soft close door is a nice addition.
I love this microwave. Good quality. I love. Quiet close door. Easy to. Use. Best mice I’ve had. By fa
Simple to understand and easy/quick to use, this microwave also runs very quietly. It even has a mute button for the beep so midnight snackers can get total silence.
This is not as described, misleading/incorrect information on Amazons part. It is not stainless steel (painted tin) it is not 900 watt it is 800watt.
Not a patch on looks of the Sage Smart oven, you would never put them side by side as they are so different. Microwave looks like any other Grey painted box, though costs the same, shame.
After buying and replacing microwaves this one is by far my favourite. It’s quality , the handle the closure .
Easy to wipe clean .
I would recommend.
It has a very small footprint which is useful, however it fits a large dinner plate inside which is ideal. It looks expensive, which it is, however it’s all metal. You can have a quite mode, i.e. it beeps once when done. For most things you turn the know for the time you want and press start, that’s it. It does other things but all easy to use. Love Sage – I also have a smart kettle and smart toaster.
The layout of the controls makes this quiet microwave really quick and easy to use. Mine is used daily in a domestic kitchen with no issues to report. A mute button and soft close door are welcome additions, together with a large bright and clear LED screen. Considering the quality I believe it to be good value for money and would most certainly recommend it to a friend.
I am very pleased with my Sage microwave. It is easy to use and keep clean. And it matches my Sage bench top oven too. Lovely!

If you are looking for an easy to use microwave with simple instructions this is it. Great quality, easy to clean and heats very evenly.
Brilliant !

The description for this are wrong. There isn’t a sniff of stainless steel to be found. The body is made of metal, painted on the outside, painted and coated on the inside. The door is plastic, the handle feels to be plastic with a chrome coating. The internal cavity is easy to clean. I give it a quick wipe down after use, no hassle.
High price for what it is; a microwave. However, all I wanted was a microwave. Not a 3 in 1, not a combi with a grill. Not something with 600 different operations, and claiming it can roast a chicken when it can’t—roasting meat is a job for an actual oven.
Turns out it’s no longer simple finding a microwave that’s just a microwave. Current problems with general availability of anything do not help. It’s either buy something hideously cheap it’ll break in three months, or for something decent spend way over the top. Like this.
This is a compact and nice size. The mid-range Panasonic’s (with the 2,467 different functions) may cost less, but they are massive in size. For overall build quality, I have no doubt this is better than the majority of the around 100 offerings. Will it last ten years? Look after it I don’t see why not.
When in use it’s reasonably quiet. Sounds smooth in operation, too; my previous microwave was louder, hummed and drummed inconsistently, with a more than audible change when the microwavy bit kicked in and out. This one just hums.
It does have some nice functions. You can twist the dial whilst it’s running to nudge more time, or less, onto the timer. The beverage reheat I’ve used a few times, just because it’s there, and it’s actually useful—no more scalding hot tea reheats.
Could cost less, I feel the price is more to do with the Sage branding than the worth of the product. Overall, yes, I would recommend. It’s a simple, straightforward, microwave.

Still going strong. I do not regret buying this.

Overall pleased with the microwave, very quiet, just perhaps a little expensive for what it is so 4 stars.
It’s easy to use and fits well into our small kitchen.
I like the easy to clean painted finish on the body, but don’t like the “stainless steel” handle, which show fingerprints.
Would have preferred a matt finish on the handle. But, the microwave is very good, so no big deal having to wipe the handle several times a day – mainly because my girlfriend is very messy and leaves finger marks on practically everything she touches.
Maybe the microwave would benefit from some sound deadening on the body and door, as it sounds a bit tinny.
