Idiots that are giving 1 star reviews you just put a fork in there and your blaming it on swan? Be more respectful I think this is lovely I would recommend but don’t put a fork in i
Had one of these before, but it started to rust around the base where the turntable rotates. Looks nice then combined with other retro items such as fridge etc. It is just a microwave, so some might suggest you are paying extra just for the retro look.
I love the look and it’s relatively easy to use and very easy to clean.
Only downside, it is quite noisy and ‘rattles’.
I’m glad I purchased it, in fact, I have quite a few items in this range.

Ten out of ten to Amazon support: having noticed that this microwave carries a 2 year warranty I left my number on the customer service page. I was called back instantly and after going through what the issue is the lovely lady I spoke to is sending me out a new microwave. It will arrive the day after tomorrow So, I am going to give Swan another chance. Well done Amazon.
I purchased the Swan Microwave in April 2021. It is easily the most expensive microwave I have ever bought. It has had only very light use 2 or 3 minutes here and there to reheat food or warm plates etc. It started making grinding noises a few months ago. This evening it made a very loud humming noise then a loud pop! It no longer heats anything. It has bitten the dust in just over 18 months. My cheap 35.00 one which I replaced with the Swan and gave away to a family member is still going strong and must be 8 years old if it’s a day.
The one star is for the colour.I could not recommend buying one.
Below is my original review, how wrong I was about it’s performance!
I mostly only use a microwave to heat up and this sets my kitchen off a treat along with it’s other matching kitchen accessories. Easy to use knobs (as opposed to digital settings). I can’t review any cooking as such because I don’t use it to cook in but I would imagine if you did it would perform well.
I like how easy it is to use and also it seems easy to keep clean so far. I was a bit disappointed in the colour as it wasn’t quite I had hoped it would be.

Works great easy to use priced well and you can get everything else to match if needed
The microwave was lovely but the light inside went after 1week, so returned it and ordered another.
Very easy to use, best microwave I’ve had. ( this is the second one I bought, so happy with first one , bought another for our holiday home. Do not understand the negative reviews about the quality.

My old microwave was 7 or 8 years old and was becoming difficult to clean and was making clunking noises so I decide to invest in a new one.
I have heard of Swan before and have bought a halogen cooker made by them. I found their items to be cheap but reliable so bought this particular microwave as it was also in Amazon warehouse.
I like my kitchen tools to be simple to use and easy to clean and this fits the bill exactly. The dial has a few power settings and there is a start/stop button, it couldn’t be simpler really. My old one had a grill, oven, etc but I never used anything except the microwave function, my reason for going simpler to operate (also cheaper to buy).
I have no complaints so far, it heats my food and does it fairly quickly, so 5 stars from me..
Bought this to match my other swan kitchen items. Nice and shiny and clean looking.
It looks lovely and very striking with the polished door and chrome handle and dials. Nice that it has a digital display, although the display is blue and it seems to blur a little. It’s not just me, my hubby and a friend also noticed it blurs when you’re about 2 metres away.
The biggest down side is that it’s a little small.
Microwaveable pouches only just fit in and touch the top on the inside. But they do fit, so that’s good!
Plus my large plates do not fit and they stop the turn table glass from spinning. So I use my small plates instead!
It looks really nice.
Plus the feature I do like is that once the timer has finished amid it beeps, it also does a reminder beep until you open the door.
I’m forever warming up coffee and forgetting it’s in the microwave, so I love that aspect.
Great buy for me, the positives outweigh the negatives, so it’s all good.
We are pleased with this item, it is a nice colour and easy to use. We could see through the door of our old Swan microwave to see when the milk boiled in the cup. We cannot do this with our new one, it is very hard to see but not really a problem as we put the milk in a jug now so that it does not boil over. I am sure we will get to love the new Swan microwave as much as we did our previous one.
The main point is that it’s incredibly easy to use. There are so many options clearly displayed around the dials that it is hard to make a mistake. And it looks so retro although it’s digital. Old and modern all in one machine.
The food comes out well cooked as well.
Such a lovely tool to have in your kitchen….I have the matching pink kettle and toaster too. So easy to use and keep clean, as well. Would recommend this microwave highly. Good value for money

its all about the look it looks great and fits in the kitchen great I like the retro look as for how it works it seems to work okay well a microwave is a microwave lets face it but where it has the edge is its looks great.
Great looking microwave that cooks well. The controls are not obvious and one will need to read the manual fully.

Assembly was simply, amazing pug and play really, and with a quick wipe down, you are good to go.
Appreciating its only a 800w microwave, I have to say I notice this when using, always have to put in for a little longer that recommended cooking instruction so would say it’s not that powerful.
It works for us, we have patience, and for the money, we are extremely happy with our purchase at this price. I wouldn’t recommend if was priced much higher because you can get a 1,000w for not much more.
Good brand, good purchase and so far so good .z
Worked the time out on this microwave, love the black.it really is a lovely microwave matches my kitchen to a t,and it came in good time as really desperate for a microwave, so yes all good so far.

I bought this microwave as part if a set with the kettle and the toaster. All the products look so modern and stylish. The colour of all the products are the same and they are really easy to clean.

Bought this as I loved the style! It works well too and is relatively quiet. Style and substance. Highly recommended. Bought the kettle to match as well.

I bought this as i’ve seen it and loved it, the only problem is that if you don’t use lid to cover your liquid food, in the long run this will ruin the painting inside the cooking chamber by chipping it. Real pity i had to dump it.

Brought mainly for the look which is as expected and a nice retro design which suits our kitchen well. A little smaller than I expected but is to the measurements advertised so my fault for not checking that exactly before I bought it. Nice features that work well and does what a microwave should with numerous settings.
i bought this item with matching toaster and kettle was very well priced for such a well known product am very pleased i bought these items together well worth the money i paid

Love the microwave and I did want the full range ie orange kettle toaster, looked on amazon for them but none here, so went on Swan website and they are out of stock with no due back in stock date, which means I’ll have to find an other make of the Orange kettle and toaster, I am very unhappy with this as it will be hard to get a colour match.
Update I held of getting a different make of toaster and kettle and managed to order it from amazon some good months later so now very happy my toaster arrived 5 days early, still waiting on the kettle, the only downside at the moment is I can’t find anymore Swan orange kitchen equipment like the bin, bread bin, tea sugar and coffee containers again very disappointed with Swan, updated 5th November 2020 please stay clear of all Swan products I purchased the kettle, microwave and toaster, the toaster blew my electric 2 weeks in use managed to get a full refund, the kettle the lid is rusting away and it’s not even a year old, my microwave blew the electrics I purchased the microwave in 2019 and I only use it occasionally I’ve replaced the fuse and it’s no longer working, I’m very disappointed with swan, back in my childhood my mother only bought Swan and I honestly thought Swan was a name to be trusted, how wrong am I, they are rubbish, now I have to purchase a new kettle, microwave and toaster, I’m not happy that I now have to replace these in such a short time period, I have very little money and I struggle to purchase these swan items
I ordered this in black for my kitchen,It looks quite stylish,The only downside it’s a bit smaller than I thought,Some of my square plates will not fit,But I still use it on most days.

Lovely colour. Only criticism is that when it finishes the cook it keeps beeping until you open the door – great so you don’t forget your dinner but annoying if you’ve sterlised baby bottles and gone to bed before the cycle has finished!

Nice little microwave.
There is a mark on the inside of the glass that I’m unable to remove, but didn’t contact Amazon as I couldn’t be bothered to wrap it all back up to send it back.
I only use it to heat my porridge currently and it does the job perfectly.

The microwave itself is good and goes well with our kitchen as we have ordered the full range.
However, our packaging was damaged even though it had an amazon seal. I suspect the product was returned due to damage and I have been able to pull out using suction pads.

I love my pink microwave. One Year on it still works perfectly and rather than a microwave with a dark inside it’s white and easy to see the dirt . Looks fab in my grey kitchen with pink accessories . If you want a 1960s retro and bright look I would 100% recommend this microwave .. it’s also very practical and easy to use too

Loved the design, cream and smaller than most microwaves so fits onto a smaller counter space, instructions a little difficult to follow but got the hang of it, very retro, would recommemd, I have had no condensation collecting on glass door at all as others who purchased said, no complaints

It’s a good microwave that looks stylish. Just might be a watchout that if you slightly pull the door (but not fully open it) the microwave switches on by itself (included video).
Otherwise it’s quiet and will beep every so often if you haven’t opened the door after switching it on which is handy.
Been using this microwave for a couple of months now, and so far so good.
If I had to find one fault with it, I would be really nit-picking, but when it’s finished, the beeps continue intermittently until you open the door. I use it to sterilise my baby’s bottles – however have quickly learnt not to do them just before bed, as once the cycle is finished, the microwave will continue to beep every few minutes, until you open the door! Slightly frustrating, but not the end of the world.
95% of the time you want max power for a given time with as little faffing about as possible. I leave the rotary power selector at 100%, turn the timing wheel to the time I need and press go – barring telepathy, I think that’s as efficient as you are going to get. Having said that, you are probably choosing it because of how it looks which is a taste thing and dependent on the colour of the other kit in your kitchen (I’m told that’s important?)
Bought as a replacement for my ageing microwave. Am very pleased with the performance, though I must confess I do only tend to reheat and not actually cook from scratch in it. Easy to operate, lovely looking and smaller than my previous one which is great. Plenty of room inside and a large glass turntable. Overall very good product and I would recommend
I ordered this item for my holiday home and went to a lot of trouble to get it installed. I have now had complaints from 2 sets of guests that it does not work: It does not heat anything up. My cleaner has also tested it, found the same so I would like a full refund. If you want it returned I will also have to add 30 plus postage as the cleaner will charge for taking this to the post office.
I’ve not tested it yet but I’ve already gathered that it won’t fit an uncle bens (or any other make) packet rice in it that has to stand up, but if this is the only issue I can handle that. If you are particularly partial to packet rice though I would advise on buying the bigger capacity model or your rice will continually fall over while cooking.
It was delivered a day early and came well packaged as true to form with Amazon products. It is rather heavy (as you would imagine) I struggled to carry it up the three flights of stairs to my office but more because it was bulky. This was mainly due to the tons of air filled packaging than the product itself though.
I am really pleased with how it looks in my kitchen though and have now just got to figure out what all the fancy buttons do, I have however managed to set the clock which is a good start 🙂 I’ve rated it a 4 just because of the very slight difference in colour.
Let just hope it works as well as it looks now!
Excellent microwave so far!
It has far more functions than I’ll ever need, (I’m used to just having 2 dials, one that was always on full, and the other for the time) but I guess it’s nice to have options!
It does appear far smaller than my last 20L microwave, it’s lower inside and out and it’s about 5mm off of letting me put my expensive larger plates in it (but our back up argos value dinner plates fit in with about 2mm to spare!) I personally am fine with having it lower in height as I don’t tend to microwave towers of food!
It’s also quite nice to have the time on it, although the light is awfully bright. (My clock also makes a high pitched buzzing noise, not sure if that’s because I have exceptionally amazing hearing or we just have a duff clock? The buzzing is why I’ve knocked it down a star.) It also counts down when nuking, which is nice!
I got cream, which is a slightly yellowy cream, but I like it 🙂
Inside, it is white painted, but looks easy to clean. I’m slightly worried about the lip above the door as it’s not curved, it’s jsut a right nagle, so you can’t see if it’s clean up there (or rusty!)
The light inside comes on when cooking, and whenever you open the door which is a little annoying when you’ve left the door open for it to dry out etc.
I bought is for my mother who needed something simple. It can seem to be complex as it does offer a number of options. However, put the top dial on full power (high) and turn the bottom knob ANTI Clockwise and it dials down to thhe required to the required time….Simples! The other option is set it to Speed cooking and pressing the lower button increases cooking time in 30 second blocks. It seems reasonably well made and carries a 2 yr warranty. I’m happy. 4 stars rather than 5 simply because it seems a little expensive.
The Microwave arrived several hours ago. It was a bargain that I was grateful for given the time of year. I’ve now used it successfully and, although its voice is considerable louder than the 15 year old beautiful deep yellow Daewoo which was on its way out, sigh, it heated a bowl of yesterday’s stew efficiently.
However, before I got to using it, I noticed that this microwave just didn’t sit comfortable where my poor Daewoo recently sat. Seemed to have one of its feet off the worktop slightly. Fixed that temporarily with a piece of silicone to level it up so that I could see how it looked from a couple of yards away. Not too bad – its just that I’m still missing Daewoo.
It was when I went to open the door that the loss of a star came into it. Daewoo had a push-button door (but to be fair to Swan, no digital clock). WHY would a microwave that strangely has feet with no hint of a bit of non-slip material attached …. have a handle that, when pulled to open, starts moving a relatively light-weight item across the worktop? Not too convenient, or very safe, if you have to remember to keep one hand on the microwave while opening the door so that it doesn’t move forward.
Then I got around to fixing the slip as well as the wobble. For anyone finding the microwave slipping, silicone non-slip table mats are the answer. They’re non-slip on both sides and heatproof. They’re designed to ensure that sailors don’t get a bowl of boiling stew in their lap and can be bought from marine shops and probably elsewhere. I got mine from a friend who lives on a boat. They can be cut easily with scissors and are great for stopping lots of things from sliding or being pulled off surfaces. So now the Swan has some nice non-slip heatproof squares under its feet. This stops the sliding, I can’t even pull it forward.
Other than the above, the clock was easy to set up (once I’d found the page with the instructions) and the food heated up nicely.To me, I fear, it will never look as good as poor Daewoo, but it’s easy on the eye and it matches (near enough) the new Morphy Richards cream 4 slice toaster which was also needed to replace poor old Avanti who, having seen that kitchen mate Daewoo was dying, finally gave up the will to raise a toast, poor thing :/
