Hisense 700 Watts 20 Litre Solo Microwave Oven H20MOWP1UK

Seems to be a bit more consistent heating than our previous (15 year old) one. Controls seem good. The options on the preset seem to match most situations so far. Overall good.

Star removed because although the advert says 2 year guarantee when you register for the warranty it’s one year.
I would have preferred a 24hr clock and there is no direct drive to the platen, it relies on a roller ring which is difficult to remove for cleaning. There are 3 lugs on the under surface of the platen which are too short to reach the corresponding slots in the roller ring which make me believe the platen is also used in a model with that kind of drive. The included rack for grilling could have been higher.
Having said that the microwave does the job, the number of power settings will suit most applications and it’s easy to set the cooking time (I’ve never been a fan of pre-programmed settings)

The first one I ordered, the turntable did not work. Replaced within 3 days, great. Got the return label for the defective one but after a month it still has not been collected by Evri, despite several communications with them. The microwave was easy to set up, just remember it is a 12 hour clock not a 24 hour one. After 6 weeks it is going well and works beautifully.

Thought I’d take a chance with a make im not familiar with. So pleased I did. Its very neat, sits in the corner. Without being obtrusive. Defrost is easy to use and doesn’t over heat items. Only downside for me is, I have square plates, which are too large to turn on the turntable.
All in all the very happy with i

I ordered this on Prime Day to replace my broken one and thought being Prime I would get it within a few days at most, unfortunately it was a week later that it was delivered. Whilst checking for delivery updates I could see that the stock levels had gone down and that if I cancelled the order and re-ordered it I would get it sooner and was so worried that I wouldn’t get mine however I was assured by Amazon customer service that the item had been reserved for me and would be delivered on the day I was given, I was given the option to cancel the order and re-order BUT the price had gone up so there was no sense in doing that. I was convinced it wouldn’t arrive on the scheduled delivery day but I’m happy to say it did.
Now to the microwave itself – it looks good, it is tall enough inside that microwave rice packets stand up properly without falling over. It is easy to use however the touch buttons are not very responsive, I have got used to them but my daughter has trouble using them. It is easy to clean.
All in all I am happy with the microwave

I have very specific requirements for a microwave, and on paper this met them all. It’s a good size, and I can set the time down to the one-second level. (I hate knobs and dials on a microwave.) Unfortunately, it has two problems. (1) Its feet are slippery, which means I had to hold it still to open/close the door, and even to push the buttons on the control panel. So I bought a non-slip mat to go under it, which works well but effectively added 12 to the cost. (2) The controls require more pressure than a touch screen should, and the Start button is especially fiddly. (3) The numbers on the number pad could be larger and more visually prominent. But all in all, I think it’s good value for money.
