Invaluable item of equipment, 2010-04-11
I was rather overwhelmed by the number and complexity of microwaves available when my old, basic one pegged out. A friend had recently done her homework and selected the WhirlpoolMax 25 and was pleased with it so I stopped agonising about which one to buy and bought this one. It's great !

Good Value Microwave, 2010-08-02
Good value microwave. Very small and attractive in black finish. Noticed discrepancies in sizing from all sellers like Currys, Argos and Amazon but it suits me. The inside capacity is just a little bit larger than the turntable dish so will not take large dishes! It is also only 700 which is either a C or D rating depending on who you believe (panasonic manual says it is a C). I had an 800 (E) before and it was of course slightly quicker but nothing worth worrying about. I would recommend this microwave to anyone who just wants to heat things up and cook basic meals. It would probably not suit the more creative cook with a large family.

Does what is says on the tin, 2010-05-16
It is a sleek little microwave. We don't use it a lot, but when we do use it, it does what is says on the tin. We can't figure out how to make chips with it, but we're trying. You just have to be very careful not to leave the metal bit in there if you're using the microwave function. It can only be used in the grill function or you'll see sparks

Brilliant, 2010-07-21
I bought this for my 91 year old mother after she set fire to her combi one (used the grill instead of microwave!), it's brilliant, she can see and use the timer dial easily, it's compact but will fit a dinner plate inside and it is what it says it is...a microwave. Would recommend to anyone who wants a plain, simple microwave

This works well as an oven and looks good. No real feedback on the grill function yet and no long term results but OK so far.

  Excellent replacement, 2010-08-16
  This combination oven is proving an excellent replacement for our SpaceSaver Sharp microwave combination oven bought 20 years ago. It is slightly smaller but more powerful. You only have to learn that you have to specify the mode of operation instead of defaulting to microwave. What more could you want?

Not a lightweight, 2010-08-26
This oven does not follow the modern trend of smaller/lighter in fact it weighs in at a mighty 21kg (complete with packaging 28kg)[Also available in white but cheaper] its outer dimensions are 530 mm (W) X 508 mm (D) X 344 mm (H) so check that you have room for it before you buy, also as it is a proper combination oven (Microwave, Grill and Convection [fan]) the outside can get hot so needs space around it. The oven dimensions are 350 mm (W) X 360 mm (D) X 250 mm (H). The size means that it is more than adequate and will also heat the prepared meals that come in pouches and have to stand up. A tip if you are replacing a Panasonic microwave keep the glass turntable as some will fit and it is useful to have a spare.
This is an oven that can be used as a main oven as it does everything. It is easy to use but read the comprehensive instruction book first (The instruction book also contains a fair few recipes to get you started) as if you have not had an oven of this type before some things are not obvious for example if grilling the glass turntable has to either be removed or covered with the supplied tray.
Microwave, grill and convection can be used separately or in combination. In fact there are a number of settings that will automatically use combinations for example there is a button for potatoes and if you wish to roast potatoes all you do is put the potatoes on the metal tray, press the potatoes button 3 times and press start. No weighing or calculating. The only disadvantage of this method is that until the process is underway how long it is going to take, initially the display shows roasting potatoes which after a while turns into a countdown timer.
As well as the potato button there are also auto settings for Vegetables, Fish, Pizza, Meat, Crispy Top, Chicken and Bake. It is also very good at defrosting using the "Chaos Defrost" button.
It is possible to programme the oven to so that it can remember up to 3 programmes of your choice
There are also settings that enable you to enter the weight and all of the times etc are calculated.
It can also be used as a conventional grill or oven, setting temperature etc.
The top inside is a catalytic sheet for easy clean, which is just as well as it would be difficult to reach as it is behind the grill element.
The only two things I did not like about this oven was that the inside is black enamel which although easy clean does not allow you to easily see the contents through the glass door, this is not helped by the fact that the interior light is not user replaceable and if it fails I will do without rather than pay a service engineer to come out and replace it.

value for money, 2010-08-24
I had seen this product in a store prior to buying. The reason I chose this was because the brand name is good and the size was what I needed to fit in a small space. Some of the other microwaves had perhaps more functions and were of a higher power, but for cosmetic appearance and size I felt this was good value.

The only fault is that I would like a "repeat" function but apart from that - I am happy with it.
