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 big.

The inside of the microwave is very easy to clean. The glass dish and the wheel underneath are both removeable and the surface of the microwave inside is smooth and white and so easy to wipe clean. The outside of the door does smear a bit sometimes when wiped clean but is ok if you give it a good scrub with a bit of dry kitchen towell.

The microwave does seem a bit noisier than ones I've used in the past but other than that it has been perfect for me so far.

It is basic I suppose but I'm not sure what other settings you would need really.
