Cookworks Silver Manual Microwave

Cookworks MM717CKAS Microwave in Silver Seeing as we have moved in to a brand new build flat it seemed such a shame to be taking a load of our older household furniture and equipment. After clearing out the kitchen and moving the old microwave out of its position of the last seven years I was able to see clearly for the first time that the white colourings of the microwave had turned a rather worn yellow colour. This would certainly show up more in our new fitted white kitchen and I for one was not prepared to move it and tarnish the look of our new flat. A quick browse in the Argos catalogue showed me all I needed when I saw this ...  Read the complete review

We only bought a microwave when I started weaning my son. My husband has always disliked microwaves and as he does most of the cooking, I've never had reason to want one. However, it's a lot easier to be able to freeze baby portions of purees and meals and defrost when you need so I started looking for our first ever microwave (now I wonder how I got to my thirties without one). I only wanted a small and easy to use microwave so I started looking for a compact and cheap model that didn't look too tacky. This model has been perfect for our purposes. It cost around £30 from Argos, there is a white version too but I thought that looked a ...  Read the complete review

This was one of the cheapest microwaves available in Argos when I moved into my flat about 21 months ago and I didn't see the point of spending any more seeing as though I only really use a microwave to reheat leftovers and warm up milk etc. It has been perfectly reliable so far, always heating the food through in the correct amount of time and is very easy to use. I tend to use the defrost setting and the 700 watt setting which is full power, but there are also lower settings if you needed them. You select the time with a dial rather than electronically which I think is quicker and more straightforward and the button to open the door is nice and ...  Read the complete review

I bought this microwave just after I had moved into my first house, I had no no cooker and not even a bed so money was tight. I flicked through the Argos catalogue and picked out one of the cheapest microwaves I could. As I have now been in my house for a while I could affrod replace my microwave but I have not as I don't need to. The microwave has all the basic functions and is powerful enough to heat up many item quickly, you can also vary the power to adjust for different foods e.g. if you are defrosting meat. The oven is well lit inside so you can easily keep an eye on your food. It is also very easy to keep clean, as with many microwaves the rotating glass ...  Read the complete review

We bought this microwave from Argos after the previous one was broken about a year ago and it is really worth the money. It is cheap, practical, simple and easy to use. We used to have a microwave with many functions but only to find out that we were never going to use these functions. We mainly use microwave to heat food and this Cookworks Silver Manual microwave serves this purpose very well. Of course it has other basic functions like defrosting, etc. This microwave is especially good for old people as it is ease to use. My parents who found the multi-functional, fancy and expensive microwave difficult to use, now like this one very much. The size is good and does not ...  Read the complete review
