As some of you may know from reading my previous reviews, my dear Mother is somewhat of a techniphobe. So, when it comes down to buying appliances, she likes to keep things simple, and this was no different when she bought our microwave, the Matsui SMW17G, from Curry's, for a very respectable £30. The microwave is white, and is category D 700w with a maximum cooking time of 35 minutes. It also has a 17 litre maximum capacity. On the front of the microwave, it has two dials, one for the power settings, and the other is the timer. This makes it very simple and easy to use, as it's literally a case of putting the food in and adjusting the time settings. ...  Read the complete review

We've had a good quality microwave for a few years, with all the programme options and settings you could wish for....... And we very rarely use them. So when our daughter was looking to buy herself a microwave we advised to save some pennies and just get one with the basic functions. I could not believe how cheap this microwave is! I regularly buy music CDs which cost more. Often price is a guide to quality and we were a little concerned that might be the case with this. Its done the job though and so far done the job well. The microwave is very simple to operate. You simply pop in the food, close the door and turn the timer dial round to how ...  Read the complete review

We ended up having to buy a new microwave when our ancient one finally died on us. As we did not have a lot of money to get a fancy microwave with lots of gadgets and gizmo's we were fairly limited on the choice. We picked the Matsui SMW17G out of that limited choice and think its perfect for what we wanted it for. We wanted a microwave that has an easy timer to use, easy basic gadgets like defrost etc., reliable and cheap which this microwave has all. If we wanted a high tech microwave with fancier gizmo's and other features we would of spent more money on it but all we really want it for is to heat food for us to eat! As this microwave can be ...  Read the complete review

Our previous Microwave, a Hinari, was starting to really smell. No matter what we cleaned it with the odour would just not leave so we decided it was time to pick up something new. One quick trip to Argos and we found the Matsui SMW17G for a bargain £9.99. Now for that price you aren't going to get all those gadgets that the £50+ microwaves are offering but this does the job that we bought it for. It comes with a timer that can be set from 30 seconds all the way to 60 minutes. The lower dial can set the heat from Low and Defrost all the way to High. It isn't the biggest of microwaves and it cooks slower than our previous 1K watt Hinari but like I said, it ...  Read the complete review
