    Breville comes through again!

    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!

    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!,

    I never thought there was much difference in microwaves until I bought this one. Everything about it is comfortable to use. Perfect size. Settings are easy to operate. I bought this for a family member who is very fussy, and this microwave was a homerun! Toshiba and Panasonic or returned. Well worth the extra money.

    We have had wonderful success with this microwave for its first two months. The smart features work well and the ability to defrost evenly without cooking is fantastic. For traditional settings, I much prefer turning the dials to using a keypad. The "a little more" feature works well, too. And having a handle to open the door is so much better than a finicky button. There have been a few pleasant surprises. Food splatters much less than in our prior microwaves. The "ding" was a bit loud even on the quietest setting (bedroom overhead) so we used mute and it's great to have an almost-silent microwave. The exhaust fans after cooking is complete mean we no longer have to let the door ajar for steam and odors to escape. Other than the beverage setting, the quick buttons inside the door haven't been of much use to us--they're just not for the things we usually cook. Bottom line: No clue on durability yet, but so far absolutely worth its more expensive price. PS: It looks nice, too.

    Best Microwave Ever

    I was needing a microwave for almost a year now, to replace my old one. The microwave I wanted to purchase wasn’t available and had been on back order 4 months, I decided to get a temporary one. After almost a year going by and waiting for the microwave I thought I wanted to become available, l finally broke down and decided to find or go with something else. After a long exhausting time of searching and comparing, I decided to go with a Brevilke model. Since the arrival and connection of my Breville Mictowave, I have been completely satisfied with it and all the features that come with it. I would recommend this product to anyone and wish I would of gotten it sooner than later!

    i LOVE ALL THE OPTIONS. COOKS GREAT. I ALSO LIKE THE LOOK AND THE FACT THAT IT DOESN'T PLAY A LONG SONG WHEN FINISHED. PERFECT SIZE SO THAT IT DOESN'T TAKE UP TOO MUCH SPACE. THE SOFT CLOSE DOOR IS AN AWESOME FEATURE FOR A FAMILY THAT TENDS TO SLAM DOORS.

    A space-age Jetson's microwave

    Excellent countertop microwave. There are many presets available. However, the Smart Reheat is my favorite function. The Sensor IQ technology automatically senses what you're cooking, and then adjusts the power & time. Makes it super easy to reheat your food. The Smart Cook & Smart Defrost also turn out great. My second favorite function is the soft close door. Very fancy! And finally, my third favorite function is how QUIET the microwave works. This replaced a full-size Panasonic microwave that was relatively loud. Now I realize how much time I wasted standing guard over my old microwave, and how much noise pollution it created. This Breville really is a space-age Jetson's microwave bc it make makes everything easy & efficient. Food turns out evenly heated throughout. It looks classy, and even has the option to personalize the chime to sound pleasant.

    A Better Designed Microwave Oven

    I wasn't expecting to be impressed by a microwave oven. It's been the same overall design for years. This Breville is different. Someone took the time to think about how a microwave is used. No numeric keypad. Just 2 dials and a few buttons. It's so easy to use. Usually you just need to press one or two buttons. It's easy to turn the dial to adjust the time or the power. There are clever things like "A little more" button to get an extra 10 seconds. The display is easy to read. The backlight shifts to orange when it is heating. And the soft close door is a nice touch. Overall it's a pleasure to use.

    We have been using this microwave for nearly two months now and it is great. It is really easy and intuitive to use. It has cooked everything we have thrown at it very evenly and exactly as we would expect. It has a lot of high end touches and features and looks great in our home! Very compact which is also very nice.

    If you lie somewhere on the autistic spectrum (or care for someone who does) this microwave is for you. The door shuts without a loud clunk, the alert sounds are pleasant and non-jarring and operation is simple. This is also great for people who are visually impaired; the display and controls are big and well marked. I've had enough of appliances that have tiny difficult to see controls. As an engineer i can tell you that this is well designed and the build quality is excellent. For example, the cooling fan continues to run after the cycle is completed to lessen the thermal stress on the electronics. Smart! The only thing i could ask for (especially at this price point) would be network connectivity so it can work with voice commands through Amazon Alexa or Google home. My GE "smart" microwave with alexa totally sucked and died in less than a year. Hoping this one lasts a while.
