The best microwave we've owned.

This is by far the best microwave I've ever purchased. We wanted to replace our aging Panasonic with something better, but had a hard time finding anything we were drawn to. When we saw this one and its soft-close door feature, we were pretty much immediately sold on it. Not having to slam the door is really nice, though it was a bit odd getting used to pulling a handle to open rather than pushing a release popper button, as well as the dial to set the timer.
The additional features are also really nice. The smart reheat function is a blessing for cooking leftover pasta, and the pizza function works really well, too. Not perfect, but still better than a normal microwave could do, considering how fickle leftover pizza is. I've also used the soften butter feature, which is also nice.
Another very attractive feature is the ability to have a softer, melodic tone, and the microwave also runs very quietly in comparison to our old one. I've always hated the noise microwaves make (the door slamming, the beeping of each button you press, the loud whirring while it cooks, and the harsh beeping when it finished), so the quietness of this one is really appealing. You can even mute all the tones if you're cooking late at night and don't want to risk waking anyone up.
The blue-when-idle/amber-when-cooking screen makes it easy to read, as well as tell if your food is still cooking if you walk out of the kitchen and take a peek back in. I honestly cannot come up with a single complaint for this thing. It was a bit on the pricey side, but ultimately worth it to us.

Easy to use with the preset buttons. Easy to open the door and plenty of cooking power and accurate sensors for reheating.
Only down side is the price.

So far the only complaint is the clock has no backlight after it’s done cooking and no independent timer.
It’s easy to clean and the controls are easy to use also really like the soft close door.

We bought this microwave for the handle and dial controls but have been loving many features including the soft door close. The soften butter feature works perfectly for baking needs and the Smart Reheat for
Leftovers has the food at a perfect temperature without recooking. Very happy with this

Good Micro but Doesn't Pack the Punch You'd Expect

This microwave is full of great features not the least of which is a soft closing door. Good size with short cut buttons. It's easy to use but I was surprised that it doesn't seem to be as powerful as you would think. Most items you have to increase the recommended time in order to get the results you want. We came from a much smaller LG which had more power than this Breville.

I've only had this Breville microwave for a month, but so far it has surpassed my expectations! I like the stainless-steel body, with knob control but maybe that's because I don't have small kids anymore:) After about a week, the functions came secondhand, and there are so many things this microwave can do! I bake a lot so the preprogrammed "soften" butter function is great.
I almost bought the Breville that also had broil and air fryer capabilities but think in a couple of years those multi-function countertop microwaves will be even better. IF there is anything that would make this microwave even better it would be if it was slightly larger, say 1.5 Cubic Feet. It's so quiet and I LOVE the soft close door - all you have to do is lightly swing the door and it catches and closes easily. I like Breville toasters, espresso machines, and other small appliances, and now I'll add this microwave to the list!

We purchased with slight trepidation as we weren't familiar with the brand and it was the most expensive countertop microwave in stock.
All the reviews online were great and we had not been pleased with the last two GE or panasonic bargain units so we tried it.
It has been fantastic as it can be for a microwave! The dials and controls were a bit unorthodox at first but now everyone in the house loves it. Cooks /reheats far more evenly and consistently than before. No more part hot part cold food. The soft close door is also a nice touch.
Well built so we hope it has good durability.

Our first "fancy" appliance did NOT disappoint!! It has so many controls but very easy to use and the soft close is a nice touch so now when anyone in the house is mad they can't slam the microwave door ha. the sound it makes when the food is done is nice and not annoying either- but the one drawback is the microwave still runs even when done which was an issue on our previous appliance as well but we will live...

Not only does this microwave look great inside and out, its intelligent cooking features are simply unmatched. It works incredibly well by simply selecting what your heating, reheating, cooking, or defrosting on the display and let it do its thing. Everything always comes out perfect. Don't want to select the program? That's fine... it works great as a plain microwave too. Easyt o clean and looks very high end. Great buy!

This is a great microwave--it's high-tech, but simple and intuitive to use. It has performed exactly as it should have on everything we've used it for so far, including reheating and defrosting using the sensor option. It reheats evenly and defrosts without cooking the edges. And my husband is fascinated by the soft-close door technology! :)

We are very happy so far with our Breville microwave. Compared to our old microwave…. It is much quieter and we love the soft close door. The old Panasonic microwave had an annoying loose side panel that rattled increasing its noise level. Our new Breville just seems to have quality as its main feature. Love it!,
