Bosch HMT75M421B 17 Litre Microwave - White

Easy to use. Does the job. I would have preferred a higher energy one but it seems to cook just as well as a more powerful one.

It switches on - It accepts instructions - It's nice and compact - It works.

I read reviews of this microwave before I bought it. It is small but perfectly adequate for our needs. Selection of programmes is simple as is the choice of power settings. I don't agree with some reviewers who say you have to press too many buttons to get what you want. Not true, it is one or two presses usually. It is quiet enough, well built, even in cooking and just great.

I haven't needed to use it much but it has worked well. I do find it a bit difficult to operate (as my eyesight isn't good), but I am sure I will soon get used to it. The Delivery driver was very helpful and set it up for me and took away the packing.

Much more compact than the microwave it replaced and includes multiple power settings which is a definite advantage. Although the internal dimensions are significantly smaller than its predecessor it is quite capable of handling all normal kitchen containers.

I bought this to replace a 20 year old Panasonic microwave and have had good experiences with Bosch dishwashers. The positives are that it looks great and the build quality is very good. Unfortunately everything else is a negative and now wish I'd bought another Panasonic. It just isn't very well designed. Door doesn't open beyond 90 degrees so it can be awkward to put things in. Takes too many button presses to work it. Does anyone really need 5 different power settings? No. But the most annoying thing is when the timer finishes and it keeps beeping. Just keeps beeping and beeping again until you actually open the door. One set of beeps is enough Bosch. Seriously.
