    We love it. It’s nice and quiet while running. Love the quiet door closing and that you can mute the beeping noise. The brushed finish is attractive as well. It’s fits a full size dinner plate and heats the food evenly. Used the defrost function and it worked very well. We’ve never bought this brand before so we’re hoping it will last for many years to come.

    WOW!!!! I needed to get something smaller in a microwave that would be easy to operate and use and be on the counter instead over a range or stove top. I love my gas stove but was concerned about having anything over the top of it. I already owned a toaster oven made by this company for several years and I love it so I purchased this microwave knowing how much I enjoyed the size and the use of the toaster oven. The one I owned took up so much of my counter space and this one is just what I needed because now I have more options where to put it on my counter and it does several things instead of just being a microwave and so easy to understand what to do.

    GREAT little Microwave. We bought it to replace a 1,000 watt over the stove hood microwave to move to a full hood. It does a great job! Heats evenly the only difference is the small size. But since we rarely use it for large items it works out perfectly. the small size is also a blessing as it fits anywhere! The soft close is once compared to the loud push button opening of other small microwaves. Finally, the icing on the cake is the wonderful MUTE button that silences the beeping so those early-morning coffees and late-night snacks won't wake up the house.

    I wanted a microwave small enough to fit in a tight space on my counter, but still powerful enough to meet expectations. This model is easy to use...I love the dial to set the time...and it is good quality.

    SMALL BUT ROOMY – LIKE MAGIC

    SMALL BUT ROOMY – LIKE MAGIC REVIEW: Breville - the Compact Wave™ Soft Close 0.9 Cu. Ft. Microwave – Silver BEST BUY Tech Insider Network SUMMARY: Plenty of room for everyday use. Nice compact size and easy controls. Does a good job warming and everything that a microwave should do. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a premium microwave in a small package. BACKGROUND First, I love Breville appliances, I have 6 between work and home. When we remodeled my son’s kitchenette our large Breville Microwave would not fit in the assigned spot so we used an old college dorm microwave as a placeholder. Then this little guy came along and we could not be happier. It is about the same exterior dimensions as our cheap dorm microwave, but somehow there seems to be much more room on the inside. It is a perfect match for our mini Breville toaster oven. MY UTILIZATION I have to confess, we are not big microwave cookers. We use it daily for softening butter, ice cream, etc. My son that lives with us has minor impairment, and he was able to figure it out on the first try to heat up microwave mac and cheese. UNBOXING: INITIAL IMPRESSIONS: Very well packaged, a little hard to get out of the box, but that is normal so no dings there. There was a giant “SPARK” when we plugged it in that was a little concerning, but all seems fine. PERFORMANCE: Plenty of power for all attempted tasks. I would even go as far as saying it is faster and more powerful than our built in microwave (from another mfg) that came with our kitchen package. EASE OF USE: Here is how I use a microwave. I put something in, press start. If I need more time I press Start again. If this is how you use a microwave then you are all set. It does allow you to select different food types, and this is my only minor complaint. I’m so used to Breville being more intuitive. To select a Food Type, I only have options like F1,F2,F3, and they “key” to these codes is on the inside of the door, instead of the LCD display. Personally I would have liked to see more sophisticated settings on the LCD like on its big brother. SUMMARY: Big inside space, small outside space, plenty of power, and minor complexity for advanced cooking.

    BETTER THAN EXPECTED

    I had researched several brands but was squeamish when I saw reviews about microwaves that just stopped working, fires, burnt insides etc. The best features of this Breville is that the design is totally and refreshingly different. First off I can fit a full size dinner plate inside. The door shuts quietly you don't have to slam it. There is a mute button to silence the bells. The front panel has large buttons so you don't need glasses to operate. The number panel is eliminated you can press the 30 second button and cancel with the stop button which are easy to touch. This is the best microwave for people with nimble figures and shortcomings of vision.!!!! I cannot see why someone without these issues would also enjoy it's ease of use. BUY THIS MICROWAVE

    The Breville CompactWave Soft Close Microwave is simply one of the best (if not the best) microwaves out there. We love the soft-close feature of the door. No more slamming and loud noise. The way it heats the food is also innovative as it seems to vary the heating power which prevents the food from overcooking. The modern-looking design is pleasing to see, evoking a sense of high quality. We're hoping this would last a long time, as the microwave it replaced was already 4 years old and it's still doing okay.

    Sorry couldn't hold back. But it really is a nice microwave. Pretty quiet. Easy to use controls and the Dial is the Bomb. I also like the easy closing no slam door. Didn't feel like I had to relean how to use a Microwave like I did with the last one. Has great power heats and reheats quickly and not under powered like my last one, which broke after a year or so. The last ones controls just wore out, I think this one will be around a while.

    This microwave oven is awesome. It is worth every penny. The durability and workmanship is top quality as is all Breville products. The door shuts quietly and solid. The cooking controls are well lighted and easy to use. The oven heats evenly and even though compact can contain a medium casserole dish or a regular sized microwaveable plate. Well worth the extra money. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
