    I own other Breville appliances, and was so disappointed when I put this on my counter. It looks super cheap, like a plastic toy, probably because the exterior is not true stainless steel. I bought this for the quiet close (and it was quieter than most), but it just cheapened the feel of my kitchen. Not worth the higher price tag.

    I purchased this microwave oven on September 24, by October 18th went dark. I mean not a light, nothing, as if it was unplugged, and yet it was plugged! Best Buy said they couldn’t do anything because it was outside of their 14 days return window. Breville was a nightmare to get in touch with, but once I did reach them, the asked me to send back the oven (at their cost) and sent a new one. Hopefully it doesn’t break again.

    My dad has essential tremors and can't use a touch screen. We needed to find him a microwave that had traditional buttons and dials he could use. This one fits the bill, looks nice, and works great.

    Disappointed — Stopped Working in Less Than 2 Year

    I bought this Breville microwave in January 2024 and paid $250 for it. I chose Breville because I believed it was a reliable brand and expected the microwave to last for many years. Unfortunately, after less than two years of normal use, it completely stopped working for no apparent reason. I’m very disappointed in the quality and expected better durability for the price.

    The fact that I can so easily turn off the sound on this microwave makes it the best one I have ever used. Now I can microwave things when others are asleep and not disturb them!

    So far so good. The so called quiet door isn’t any quieter than other microwaves, but that’s not why I bought it. Love that I can easily dial the time I want food to cook.

    Purchased 10/2022 . Less than 1 year later, one of the two hooks that close the door broke off after it would not close anymore. Also, frustrating is the knob wherein you have to choose in increments of 5 seconds when choosing a time over 20 seconds. Also, the turntable plate likes to come off often.

    Besides the timer problem, it’s mediocre. I have a Breville toaster oven that is terrific. The Microwave is average, which is disappointing.
