Nice and elegant
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very quiet and very nice. A lot of features to use can be overwhelming but the microwave looks very elegant and doesn’t cost as much as the premium ones.

Not quite worth the money.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The interface is a bit awkward, fancy to be sure, but if you want to zap something for more or less than 30 seconds, you have to adjust the time with a dial. No number pad option is available. It also holds the utility screen for a longer than expected time before switching back to displaying the time. Lastly, though this may be adjustable and I haven't found the function yet, there's no way to keep the back light on, so seeing the time on the LCD display is a challenge from across the kitchen.

Very Quiet

Great microwave
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After figuring out how it works, as opposed to most microwaves, it does everything I need and a little more. It heats up a piece of cold pizza really nicely, even keeps it crispy. It IS a little expensive though.

10 months of Service!
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The 2 stars are to compliment the excellent design and features of this Breville microwave. However, the longevity of this microwave lasted 10 months before the intermittent heating started followed by an E-05 error code, no heat, and a crackling sound emitting from the rear all within a 2 day window. Most importantly, no $400 microwave used in a responsible way shouldn't have gone bad this soon. Hopefully, Breville can make this right!

Very nice presets
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It takes some getting used to with no keypad but it has been a really good microwave. We were looking for one that had a variety of presets for popcorn, bacon, plus sensors for reheating and defrosting. It does a really good job on everything we’ve tried in it but we don’t use all the functions or really cook anything elaborate. My only minor gripe is the soft close door sometimes gets a little jammed and I worry trying to force it closed will break it. It works 99% of the time but seems like an unnecessary innovation. Hopefully it holds up long term.

Microwave Overkill
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've got several other Breville appliances in kitchen so when looking for a replacement for our Panasonic microwave that died, this unit had the right look. You pay a lot for all the programming features which as far as I've been able to test are not that great. The one feature the old Panasonic had and earlier Breville models had was a timer. Really miss.

Exceptional Microwave Unit
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have purchased in the past 2 microwave units. This particular microwave Far Exceeds My Expectations. I really like the features especially the door closes it by itself when you start moving the door close to the frame of the unit. I really have enjoyed the smart re-heat and cooking features on this unit. Yes it has it’s bells and whistles but it truly has performed as it was designed to do. It was worth the price I paid. I did my own research before making the decision to purchase it.
