Customers are saying

Customers highly value the Smooth Wave 1.2 Cu. Ft. Microwave for its ease of use, overall performance, and quiet, soft-close door. Many appreciate its perfect size, top-notch design, and well-thought-out controls, as well as the convenience of its heating capabilities. However, some customers find the price a bit high, and a few have expressed concerns about the clock not being illuminated and difficulties with the popcorn setting.

    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.

    A very "gentle" microwave: no hot spots on food!

    Used this microwave three or four times. This is a very "gentle" microwave so I had no issues with hot spots or overcooked food. Alas I had to return it because it did not work in my small kitchen. I am going to consider the smaller Breville microwave which should give me the same satisfying results. One note to Breville: please consider adding a kitchen timer to the features! 5 star microwave all the way in spite of no kitchen timer and I would not hesitate to recommend it. The manual could be more detailed but this is not a dealbreaker.

    Annoying cooling fan runs after each use!

    This microwave works well and it looks good. Feels a bit cheaper than you might expect for a $400 microwave but all of that is pointless because unless you can tolerate a microwave that runs even after you’re done using it, do not buy this one! I contacted Breville support and they confirmes that the microwave is designed in such a way that no matter how short the cooking duration, once the timer stops a cooling fan which is louder than the actual microwave will kick in and run anywhere from a few seconds up to five minutes. For me that is not tolerable so I had to return this microwave which I otherwise would’ve been happy to own.

    Not quite worth the money.

    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. Works well ,but, I don't think it is 1200 watts because my other one at 1100 watts was stronger. It's keypad broke.

    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.

    Wonderful microwave oven. The soft close door is the best thing to have here. It’s worth the extra cost to get it. Easy to clean inside as well.

    Another Great Breville Product! Auto door closure works great. It is easy and silently closes. Defrosts quickly evenly.

    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.
