Microwave
I wanted this tower microwave , as so easy to use as all I need a microwave for is to heat up food an drinks , good looking microwave thanks towe
Great!
Really good for fitting into the tiny space without comprising on powe
Microwave
Only reason I bought it because I had my credit card points redeemed for Amazon voucher. If I was paying for it then I would have got different one. Still a good microwave for quick warming the food and no fancy functions which you hardly use.
A cute lil microwave!
So easy to use, no digital clock or buttons to fiddle with, which is just what I was wanting. Lovely little ‘bing’ when finished, no annoying beeping! Cooks quickly and evenly and happy with the quality. Would recommend to anyone wanting a simple, no frills microwave.
Easy to use
Ordered Friday, delivered Monday. Very happy with this purchase, a straightforward simple to use machine.
Easy clean stainless steel interior, so no enamel surfaces to lift or chip!
Overall an excellent, value for money buy!
5.0 out of 5 stars Matched my kitchen perfectly
All my new kitchen items are black and rose gold so this fitted in perfectly.
Does the job.
Looks nice, works great. Only criticisms are the plastic dials and handle cheapen it a bit. Plus it’s more of a grey white colour than white. Otherwise happy with it as I only use for basic stuff so it does what I wanted it for.
This micro wave was ordered on the premise that it was suitable for the “vision impaired”. and there is no doubt that it is very easy except for setting the time. My wife has devloped Age Related Macular Degeneration and can’t see the timing marks on the dial. This, it seems to me could be put right by making the timing dial click the minutes as it is turned, enabling her to count the clicks.
My last Tower manual microwave gave me good service, but ultimately the interior rotted with rust. I paid a bit more this time for the stainless steel version, with the Tower 3 year guarantee. So far, so good!
The problem with this cooker is the timer. The minute markings are so close together that it is tricky to use half minutes when required by the recipe. (This was not true with the timer on the cheaper model, which was reliable, accurate with enough space between the minute setting for half minute settings.)
Another problem is that the timer on the new microwave cuts out early meaning that food is not cooked properly (a health and safety issue!). I decided to buy a accurate kitchen timer, rather than return a perfectly serviceable microwave that should give years of use, because of the flawed timer. Who needs the food poisoning?
Otherwise, the microwave should give years of reliable service, so I’ve been generous in giving it four stars. If the inbuilt timer is important to you, then that would probably reduce to one star!
Nice Microwave
Nice Microwave, but the timer dial doesn’t function well example: You put something on for a minute and it does less than 60 seconds so had to purchase a timer, apart from that decent Microwave and not a bad price.
Excellent value , check other cost options
I bought this on the other sellers options , it was a return I think with a 1 inch mark . I gave it a wipe on the front and as you can see , perfect . I suggest always look at other purchase options as you may get a bargain for items .
Simple to use and seems of good quality
Arrived on time and in good condition. This is a nice straightforward simple to use device with a stainless steel interior, which is exactly what I wanted. No messing about with digital displays and buttons that do things you never need, just two knobs, one for power level and the other for the timer. As recommended in the handbook I zapped a cup of water a few times to ‘run it in’, but there was no smoke or funny smell. The timer seems accurate, and there is an easy to hear ‘Ding!’ when it is done. Another pleasant aspect is that by registering online (simple and hassle free) you can immediately extend the warranty to three years.
Time will tell if it is reliable, but for the money I’m impressed so far. Recommended if you just want something basic but decent from a hopefully trustworthy brand. Well done Tower!
Simple microwave easy for older people to use
Purchased for elderly relative with early dementia. Much easier to use and for them to understand.
Stainless steel interio
Perfect for my needs, stainless steel interior, fed up with microwaves that rust inside, manual controls not digital, very easy to use and looks good too.
Microwave
Bought this microwave for ease of use, manual dial, very happy with it, very easy to clean as inner body is stainless steel, would recommend this model.
Lovely
Love this small microwave looks great . The only negative thing is about the delivery driver he just left the parcel on the door step and just drove off. Didn’t wait for me to get to the door he was in such a rush . I know they have limited time but it he was so fast and I had to struggle to pick it up
Easy to use
Good size,nice colour and easy to use just pricy for what it is
4.0 out of 5 stars Nea
If I’d realised I would of got a digital one as I didn’t realise I’d have to guess for the seconds. Otherwise very simple to use

Tower Microwave
Good value. Easy to use but display on knobs hard to see in my opinio
So easy to use
This was bought for a sight impaired 90 year old to use, it’s so simple and easy to use thoroughly recommend.
It’s great 👍
Have had far more expensive and cheaper this is simple to use for me the colour possibly not for older people with sight problems but only serious sight problems.My Son uses it as well
Decent basic microwave
The only thing I don’t like it the dial is a bit loose, so it’s hard to do exactly three minutes for example.
It’s great 👍

Nice, small, convenie
I bought this due to its small size and the fact it matched my other kitchen appliances which are black and rose gold. Its the perfect size for my kitchen and doesn’t take up too much counter space. It has a few different power levels and is easy to use.

Not bad
Not bad for a cheap small worktop sized m/wave. No probs. Had it 2-3 months so far. Check how big your plates are before buying as it is quite small inside

Does what it says
Nothing so far, hopefully this will last longer than 2 years. The other one, the paint inside peeled off, not Tower.
We wanted an oven that had a stainless steel interior as for obvious reasons it is easy to clean and will not rust ,for some reason they are not easy to find .This is what we bought it has a stainless steel interior and it is a basic unit with a good power for a very good price ,what more could you want thanks Dudes.

Great value for money
This microwave is great value for money, it’s easy to clean and use and looks great in my kitchen very stylish
Nice looking microwave and easy to clea
The stainless steel interior makes it easier to clean and unlike painted interiors shouldn’t peel. The dial isn’t easy to tell time between the minutes, ie, if you need to cook for1 minute 30 seconds it is difficult to get the 30 seconds accurately. Otherwise good design and easy to clea
Great little microwave
Great little microwave, it would benefit greatly with a light inside to gain 5 stars
a clock
his is compact but fits all my needs but think a clock would add to its features
Wonderful easy to use microwave
Great microwave just what we wanted less fuss and easy to clea
Very Simple Function Dials
Used mainly for warming or defrosting. Simple to use, stylish and a good price
Basic microwave no frills brilliant value
Took a long time to find a manual microwave that was just a microwave and no frills you never bother to use. No digital display so saves energy and stainless steel for easy cleaning and not going rusty when forget to wipe out when steamy

Easy to use easy to clean looks great excellent value for money easy to work no fuss
Great value
A very simple microwave to operate with mechanical timing knobs. Looks good and at a good price. Only one negative being the glass plate does move around a bit resulting in some vibration.

Easy to use
Bought this for my Mum who has memory problems. So easy to use.
Wave goodbye to complicated cooking 🧑🍳
Face it microwaves are made for simplicity – Turn on – go ‘Just cook will you’ as they say in the Adelphi !
Lovely complement to the range
Lovely complements the black and rose gold range nicely very easy to use
stainless steel microwave
his is very basic microwave as we like them simple still o k fore our needs we had this one as the inside is stainless steel rusting is common problem with many microwaves
Check the dimensions
Lovely microwave and easy got my sons to use the only problem is it doesn’t fit a normal size dinner plate in it, you have to tilt the plate to get it in which I thought was odd? I didn’t use a large plate it was just standard size so I doubt you’d get large plates in it. Other than that perfectly happy with i

Attractive addition to kitchen and your 'guests' will know how to use it too !!
I absolutely love the attractive, vintage shape of this dishwasher.
You just press the heat level required and turn the dial round
for the number of minutes required – simple – who honestly needs more than that!

Bit on the small side but for a smaller kitchen it’s perfect. I got it for the colours and I prefer dials to digital. Looks lovely. Heats evenly and well. Only problem for me was larger dinner plate you have to ever so slightly tip it to get in in to the appliance. Apart from this its spot on.

Am satisfied with the microwave. Worth the money
Liked this item, simple to use, easy to open. Easy to clean.
White and Rosegold microwave.
Nice white and rose gold microwave to match the rest of the tower range.
Excellent basic produc
Bought for my elderly mother in law to replace an old basic microwave and she’s delighted with it. Looks good, easy to use and suits her needs perfectly.
he controls are from the stone age
I found this device great, by the timer .It is a joke, you need a magnifying glass to set the time correctly ,this will discourage people from having one .I am pondering returning it.It is a pity stainless steel etc sadly let down by a stupid timer Control.It has started to malfunction on high power, just switched off 3 times
it is working fine now but the timer switch seems to be a bit loose lot of free play wonderful to clean i have decided to keep it because i am 81 live alone thank god and rely heavily on a micro for my food i have a back up one digital but rusty inside. if this one throws in the towel it can be replaced by amazon who do a great job and there team of workers i would be lost with out them.
Lovely
Looks good and so easy to clean, hopefully rust free
Check your dinner plate sizes before purchase!
Matches my kettle and toaster
Good value for money
Nice colour match to match my cookworks toaster and kettle from Argos
However does not fit a dinner plate size 27cms unless you tilt plate and then catches on the sides of microwave when it rotates…
Overall happy

Very basic and really small microwave I can just get a dinner plate into it, but looks wise does the job especially if you have the Tower range in your kitchen we have white n rose gold for everything now, so if your after a uber wizz of a microwave this is not the one for you. Really quick delivery though.

Easy to use microwave. Timer tricky.
Been using this for a few months and have generally appreciated the simplicity of dials for setting heat and time. Our other microwave is a complex do everything device – steams, grills, microwaves, etc – but for day to day use this can’t be beat on the whole. Except for one issue. The timer dial is tricky to use for very short times. Setting for 90 seconds is a bit hit and miss for example as the dial is a bit crude for that. Obviously for short times, I would with either put a time in and then watch what’s happening. But if you wanted very short – say 20 second timing (warming up butter from the fridge, you would need to keep an eye on what’s happening inside.
but with that one issue, it’s a great tool. Not a huge lump in the kitchen and easy to use.
Simple
For a no frills, simple microwave, this does it all.
The timer is analogue, no fancy digi stuff to get your head around and it is exactly as it says. A microwave with functionality and style.
Simple, easy and does what it is supposed to. Comes with microwave plate. Normal size, has all expected functions. What more can you ask for.
Lovely microwave, fitted the spec I was looking for. Simple to use, manual, no fiddling around with buttons etc. Nice size and stainless steel interior really nice. Generally use for heating food or making quick foods. Amazed at how piping hot food comes out – really really hot, this is impressive in comparison to my old microwave and just how I like my food to be.

Good general microwave
I don’t really tend to use the microwave for a lot of things, and certainly not fancy stuff, so my needs are pretty general and basic. I do rice, soften baked potatoes before the oven, soup, beans, steamed veg and that kind of stuff and this is perfect for all of those.
It’s a 700w model, and 17l capacity. That’s more than enough for my needs. My previous microwave was a 900w one but I’ve not really noticed any difference with this one in that sense.
Easy to use with only two dials. Some people will miss the functionality of an lcd timer window but to be honest after getting used to not having one with this it’s another thing that doesn’t really make much difference to me.
All in all a good basic model without whistles and bells. Some people will want something a bit more I guess, but if it’s a simple microwave, well put together, that you want this is a great model.
Good quality but not great if you need precisio
Appearance – this is a small white microwave. It isn’t particularly stylish but the design is simple enough that it will fit in with any decor. It is small and fits perfectly into my very small kitchen.
Ease of use – this microwave is incredibly easy to set up. You just remove the packing and plug it in. The booklet does advice you to heat a cut of water a few times before use to remove any residue that could cause it to smoke on first use. I did this and had no smoke or horrible smells. The microwave only has two dials so it is very easy to use. One controls the time and one controls the power level (defrost, low, medium, high etc).
Performance – I found the microwave worked very well and I am very pleased with it. I think there are only two issues that could cause problems for some people. Firstly, it is very small inside. I could not fit a couple of my microwavable dishes in it. I don’t mind this as I simply could not fit a large microwave in my tiny flat but do bear this in mind if you like to use items like microwaveable plastic cookware. Secondly, the timer is very basic and just has minutes on it. If you need to microwave something for short periods of time you need to put it on for a longer time and keep opening the door to check on it. It doesn’t really bother me as I only use my microwave for basic things but could be annoying if you regularly use it to do things like temper chocolate.
In conclusion, this microwave is excellent if you just need to reheat things and for basic cooking.
This is a small 17 litre capacity microwave, with basic “mechanical clockwork” 30 minute timer, and 6 functions – Defrost, Reheat, and 4 separate cooking levels. It is nice and compact, and looks good too. The 700w maximum power isn’t as powerful as some microwaves, but it is perfectly sufficient. Its an ideal size for a single person, or for a couple using it occasionally. If you are purchasing for a family, then buy something bigger.
Two minor complaints, firstly the internal light only comes on during cooking. It would have been nice if it had also come on automatically when the door is opened. Secondly, the mechanical timer isn’t particularly accurate. I set it for 5 minutes, and the microwave switched off after 4 minutes and 15 seconds. A digital timer would be better, not only because it is more accurate, but because it would allow you to select cooking times in excess of 30 minutes.
However, for the money I think this is a very good little basic microwave, and it gets my recommendation.
I was happy with it but gradually the seal between the oval glass windows allowed contamination between the glass seals.
Amazon have replaced the complete microwave when that arrived and worked ok.
Found when looking at the replacement it had a white waveguard which the faulty one had not had fitted.
Quality control had been lax at the manufactures

It's a very happy day for me.
I love it very much. Such a beautiful microwave. Thank you.
Best Microwave ever owned
Top quality, really stylish and easy to use, fully stainless steel interior, what’s not to love!
Good
I’m happy with it ,, stainless steel interior at a good price.
Good value but timer needs improveme
The microwave is good value and most importantly for me was the stainless steel lining. It’s easy to clean and far better than the painted linings that rust out far too quickly. If I had one gripe it would be the time dial, you put it as close to the time you want as possible but it’s not very accurate. I put it on the one minute mark and it went off after just 30 seconds. This is not good for heating food safely so I find myself putting the timer on longer just to make sure.

VERY PLEASED WITH MICROWAVE WE ARE ELDERLY AND DISABLED AND FIND THIS MICROWAVE EASY TO OPERATE WITH JUST TO KNOBS TO CONTROL SO EASY
I chose it for its analogue controls and stainless steel interior. It’s worked perfectly since I purchased it so I am very satisfied. A suitable purchase for those who don’t need the complication of a a high spec’ digital device. It’s not the cheapest microwave cooker but then it has got a stainless steel interior and that ensures durability with extended cosmetic appeal.

No frills microwave
This is a manual non-digital microwave, very easy to use with just timer and temperature controls. Hopefully it will last longer with fewer parts to go wrong. Very happy with it so far.
Here we are 13 months later and the timer control has gone berserk and is very, very dangerous. Timer turns clockwise instead of anti clockwise and the temperature controls are now all set to high. It boils frozen food very, very quickly on defrost. Amazon and Tower appear to be completely ignoring the problem. Can’t get this dodgy timer problem sorted, getting the runaround no one is interested. Make no mistake, this is a fire hazard.
Would highly recommend
Just what I was looking for! Easy to clean looks great in my kitchen and the inside does not rust! Delivery was great!
Is this importa
I received my microwave the next day as was agreed.very happy with it, easy to use and easy to clean and blends in with my other white staff in the kitchen. I would definitely recommend it to other people.
Stainless steel interio
Love it has a stainless steel interior so easy to use and gives perfect results
Did a lot of research on this.
After looking at combination grills I decided instead on a simple to use microwave, on the basis that there is less to break down as per reviews…reliability. Also wanted a smaller unit, that can still hold a larger plate and something that wasnt just another digital box but retro. Also wanted a stainless steel interior to minimise cleaning and surface deterioration/flaking – which I’d read is a problem with some other interiors after a while.
This ticks all the boxes. Gave 4 stars as less than 5 minutes is very tricky to get on an analogue dial.
Bought this item for a friend of mine who absolutely loves it !
This Microwave is so simple & easy to use. Glad i bought it.
Five Stars
Arrived in good time, nice looking microwave oven, good value
Small on the outside but big on the inside . Delivery very quick and the stainless steel inside is just what I wanted to keep it clean and prevent it from rotting.
