Swan 20L Nordic Digital LED Microwave, 6 Power Levels, Wood Effect Handle, Soft Touch Housing and Matte Finish, 800W, Slate Grey, SM22036LGRYN

We needed to replace an ageing microwave and I started looking at the vast amount of different models. We only really used our old one at max power for however many minutes the food needed so I went for form over function and I’m glad I did. There’s also a whole matching range of kitchen products too!

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.

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’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 .

I ummed and ahhhed for ages before getting this but I’m so glad I got it. Its beautiful and really easy to use and a perfect fit, not too overbearing size wise.

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

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 microwave, everything works great and all the buttons have great functions and timings
A little bit more in price but better quality and style is worth i

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

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.

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

Easy to use and works well. The light inside is pointless as you can’t see anything through the door. Hard to clean and the coating to sides and handle seem like they could be scratched off at any careless moment. Your paying for the looks not an advanced microwave.

“Hugely! Hugely, Impressed with this item”. The Company – Business, known as Swan I have purchased over the years & watched them steadily improving in both Quality & Design. Also reasonably affordable within the market place & longevity of their products equall to say the more expensive other brands of manufactures available to the Customer within the market place. 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) : (

: ) Now having the bread bin the Nordic Kettle & the Nordic Microwave this rreview pertains, relates to in my kitchen & I can honestly say I have not (as yet ?) had any problems with them.
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.

PS, sometimes if like me you look for, in your own opinion the best of a product you have to spend time searching on here for a considerable amount of time to eventually find Amazon’s some hidden gems!
Thanks.

I had to email the company to figure out how to set the timing but they responded quickly. It says differently on the manual that came with.

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!

Beautiful looking design suits our kitchen perfectly.
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 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.

We 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.
