Easy to set up and use and so far is doing what it’s paid to do.
Early days, but no issues to note.
Looks good and seems well built and stylish.
Colour is “cotton white” which is very close to the Farrow and Ball “all white”. Controls are pretty intuitive although I never use the pre-sets. Although I have a bit of a concern about the longevity of the “Diffuser Cover” which covers the microwave outlet inside the machine and feels like a bit of decorated cardboard (hence the 4 stars), at present a Happy Bunny.
Got this for a bargain during the Prime Day event from the Warehouse. Its come in fantastic condition! And it still stakes my large dinner plates but somehow is taking up less space than the old one.
Really good value for money, we really use for this for basic functions and have found this to be fantastic. In fact I have just ordered another one for my mum!!!!
Stunning to look at. The wood effect is perfectly done. My only issue was that the adjustable feet didn’t adjust, so I had the improvise to stop it rocking, took me 2 minutes
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.
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…..
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 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.
Bought to match all the other items in the Swan collection..
I got this one to compliment my other grey/wood Swan kitchen items and was not disappointed. It looks great and works well.
Bought in a hurry but I’m really pleased with the design as well as functionality.
This is so handy and quick best microwave for price range
A good quality product and easy to use.Very pleased
Had power issues from start and now doesn’t heat anything on any setting/power
Very bad considering the price we paid for this
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

Been using for about 6 weeks now, looks smart and performs as expected. Seems a bit plasticier than our old Panasonic but works perfectly.

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.

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.

Bought the whole set. Kettle, toaster and Microwave when I moved to my new place. Super happy with this purchase. Slightly to expensive but I won’t be buying another set hopefully for a very long time. Would highly recommend

perfect delivery. super fast and efficient. however, a part of the microwave came loose inside it and in the manual it was written that I should make sure it was securely fastened. I snapped it but I don’t think it could be loose 🙁

I just liked the look of it. It does all it should do and fits in well with other equipment. Highly recommended

Very pleased with this purchase- I would call it a warm white and it blends nicely with my cream colour kitchen units. The handle is quite a dark oak colour. Takes a large Denby dinner plate for a small microwave. Easy to use & much smaller than previous microwave.

Nice little micro , easy to use and looks great, perhaps not as powerful as I expected it seems to take a little longer than my last one when heating fiod
Only used it a handful of times. No instructions were provided.
Looks great but there was a mark on the handle, which was disappointing, so took one star off, otherwise would have been 5-star.

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
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!
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 !

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.

Got this to go with other things in the Nordic range so you pay a bit more for the look. Practically it does what every microwave does but looks nice while it’s doing it. Digital settings are a bit fiddly but I only use it for heating things up so i haven’t bothered to master it!

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 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.

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!
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.

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.
