Customer Ratings & Reviews

Purchased the Breville compact soft close microwave on February 2/24/2020, it is simple to use, cooks and warms food very well, the fact that it has a soft close feature is great too! ‘We also own other Breville small appliances, which we have yet to have problems with.

excellent microwave. easy to use and I absolutely love the soft close door.

Fantastic microwave. Intuitive, powerful, powerful punch in small footprint, all in a good looking, modern design.

Good I like the quality of it door closes nicely I think k good

This is a perfect smaller microwave. I already have a toaster oven by Breville that is awesome and so when I was looking for a solid microwave that will last, I went with this one. Sometimes quality costs a bit more upfront, but then it saves money longterm. That’s how I try to buy when possible. If I were to comment on one thing I don’t like about this microwave, I’d say the door lock function is unnecessary and could be annoying to others, but I’m just happy to have such a nice microwave after having a couple cheap ones expire. This one is solid and reliable. I expect it to last a number of years.

Very, very user friendly. The reheat function works great at the default setting. Tried it on a pre-cooked refrigerated hot dog, came out perfect. Also a plate of pre-cooked room temp French fries, perfect temp w/o ruining them. You can adjust the time and temp while its running. Baked a potato (1) using the potato function, perfect. This microwave costs more than double than the one I was going to purchase, had to think about it for a while, I'm glad I spent the extra money. My wife and daughter love it.

Compact, easy to use, quiet, and I love the dial for setting the time.

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.

This is a great product. Simple, easy to use, effective. It reminds me of the commercial microwaves I used in professional kitchens for years. Built well, everything feels great. No unnecessary buttons. Just does a great job cooking food.

This small but mighty microwave works well for all kitchen needs. We are a household that uses it heavily. We feed our dogs fresh and raw food so it gets used several times a day to warm their food as well as the amount we use it for human food. it is holding up better than more expensive larger microwaves that we have purchased in the past. It is worth every penny. Also we love the soft close door. The compact size means it takes up minimal counter space. I would highly recommend this one for any family.

Purchased for brand reputation and small size. Looks good, doesn’t take up a lot of space and very quiet when operating. The door is a soft close, however, after several months of use, the door latch gets stuck in the open position and it needs to be slammed shut. That is disappointing.

Great microwave. Super quiet and plenty of power. The soft close door is nice, but not that big of a deal IMO. Intuitive controls. My favorite part of it is how quiet it is. Sometimes I check to make sure it's on.

Easy to use, easy to keep clean, and that Soft Close door… loving it!

The best microwave ever!! We have purchased many brands over 45v years, but nothing compares to this compact, easy to use, finely made microwave!! It has a handle on the door, locked unril button pushed to open for safety, Knob to set any amount of time. No numerous unnecessary progarams. Simple and substancial!

The door closes quietly, and it runs quietly as advertised. I like the option to turn off the beeper too. It's also more efficient than our old microwave, heating foods faster. Glad I went with this over a full size, it's perfect for our needs and a better value.

This is quite compact compared to what we've been used to...which makes it perfect (we needed something that isn't like another oven...we only use it to reheat, it's not like we really cook with it...). Wife's favorite feature: when you close the door, it won't slam shut. It closes like a soft landing.

Nice size east to use and door is nice easy open close and just the right size

This is such a good product! You can adjust the time with the little knob to get things just right. The door has this clever closing mechanism which I still don't understand. You close it gently and it finishes by itself. The buttons are helpful. Mostly, it just looks beautiful. I love that it has a handle and not a button you have to whack to open it. I might have to buy another one of the just to save for later.

Just the right size for a small kitchen or apartment. More powerful than I expected. Quiet operation and nice door latching and unlatching.

I can't say enough good things about it. The soft door close and open is great - no more slamming and clicking doors. No "loud beeps" - just turn the dial to set the cook time, and you can adjust it on the fly. When it's done, it just turns itself off. It's very quiet as it cooks. Very sturdy and well made, seems to be highest quality - like appliances used to be made. The outside is real metal. I think it's well worth the higher price, crossing fingers it's the last one we'll ever buy. Thank you Breville!
