I chose this microwave as it was from a brand I use quite regular (all my TVs are panasonic) generally I find you get more bang for your buck with Panasonic. And this microwave was no exception. I needed one for the kitchen as my cheap one packed in, so I opted for this one.

The size of this microwave is around 19ltrs and this is quite a big size for a microwave in this price range. The defrosting is is excellent. My old microwave used to 'defrost' by leaving me with a piece of meat that was cooked in the middle but still frozen solid around the edges. This one doesnt do that anywhere near as much, it provides a very even defrost with bread, meat etc.

Cooking is even too. Being a 'busy' person I dont always have time to prepare full blown meals (okay, i'm just lazy, but whos judging?) so when I get a ASDA curry from the counter, I want to get home, and cook it without having to worry about whether the middles cooked or not. With this I dont have to, I just follow the instructions, and I have a perfect microwave meal, with no crusty edges (my old microwave used to over cook the edges and leave the middle cold....which was strange considering the defrost function burnt the middle but not the inside?? =S )

Reheating is simple and again does an even job.

Its not too noisy, but its no whisper

The only thing against it is its boring appearance.
