Okay at the moment….. time will tell, the first one lasted 14 months, stopped heating things up, I was hoping it was the high voltage diode cheap easy fix….but no go
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!
The internal light is too dim, impossible to see anything but the clock light is far to bright. I can make a hot drink without turning any lights on in my kitchen!
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.
I bought this for two reasons, to reheat compresses and to make popcorn. Unfortunately the popcorn bags get stuck and burn.
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.
I’ve been using this for a while now and I’m in absolute love with this. I’ve a large family so having one that works and looks good is a blessing. This does that and more.
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…..
Fits in great with the rest of the Nordic I have purchased. Looks very nice.
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 beep when the microwave is finished is very loud which is useful for hearing from another room but a bit surprising at first if you aren’t expecting it.
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.
It looks great – does the job but the timer is a bit less straightforward then my old microwave.
This is a lovely microwave really simple to use. My only complaint is when it arrived it has some sticky residue. Almost like a large sticker had been pulled off. Which has left the finish uneven, but we should be able to get this off after a few cleans
Nice looking and quite a small footprint. There are a couple of things off though. Even on full power this microwave is about 50% less powerful than our ten year old one it’s replacing. Cooking times are much higher. Also the tray makes a squeezing noise as it turns. But hey, it matches my wife’s toaster now, so she is happy.
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
A little bit more in price but better quality and style is worth i
Great microwave, everything works great and all the buttons have great functions and timings

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.

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.

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 🙁

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.

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.

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.
: ) 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.

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!
It is a very good-looking microwave. It is somewhat less powerful than our previous 800w microwave, warming up the same food takes around 1/4 longer. The finishing noise is loud, you won’t miss it, there are reminder beeps if you don’t take the food out of the microwave.
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.
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 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.
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.
