Compact and basic, yet powerful (800W) microwave, perfect for small spaces. Set the power, set the time and go, what could be easier? Build quality seems good, and it will take a standard dinner plate easily. Strangely for modern electronics, there is no settings memory, so if you turn it off at the mains, you have to set the clock and some other defaults again. Most annoyingly, the "finished" beep default is about 10 repeats, this can be reduced to 3, but again this has to be reset after unplugging. The Quickstart function is really useful and there are some preset time/power combinations but unless you memorise these (or keep the manual handy) I can't see that they are that useful. All in all a decent microwave for people like me who use them mainly to reheat or defrost food.

Having been able to exchange the black model for the white owing to the difficulty in seeing the settings, I’m delighted with both product and AO ‘s service, Thank you

Compact Microwave which fits my kitchen space and has all the features I need.

Bought this microwave to replace an old one and as I now mostly have Bosch appliances I chose this one. It looks great- matches my oven. The controls are easy to use and it functions well.

High quality appliance, at a bargain price

Great little meecro-wah-vay (Nigella pronunciation). Can’t go wrong with Bosch.

This weird little thing breaks all the rules of conventional microwaves. Instead of finding 'thaw', 'defrost Chinese', 'cook curry', you're met with numbers - 90, 180, 360 etc. What on earth? you ask. Well, this thing allows you to change the power you cook with from very low right up to maximum. I've been used to microwaves which seem to have one power - that I don't know - and then pressing some sort of menu sort of describing what you are trying to do. I've grown to love this approach though; defrost - 180, heat up tea - 800 - dead easy and the fact there a simple knob to set the time is great too. Highly recommended.

Microwave is fairly compact, so doesn't take up too much worktop space. Looks quite smart- just gloss black with a stainless steel stripe.
