Customer Ratings & Reviews

Needed a microwave in a hurry. Did some hurry up research, and chose this model for various reasons but primarily for the way the door opens. Don't like push buttons. Love the way the knobs work, and the smart sensor works great. Worth the money for an item that is so essential to daily life. Very pleased. Lots of things I haven't tried yet.

This microwave uses technology to be quieter than most others. And it really works. It's super quiet when it's heating up food, quieter than any other microwave ive seen or used before. It's powerful too and easy to use, with a nice clean interface. Overall, fantastic microwave.

Great, quick and easy to use. Fits perfect on my countertop.

I use to think that a Microwave oven was a microwave oven - how much more could it really do? But the Breville Smooth Wave is unlike any I have ever used before - it really dose amazing things. It can soften butter - yes - soften... not melt. It can cook bacon - you simply select the number of slices. It can do a sensor reheat - and this is really amazing. And a whole lot of other things that go way beyond simply changing how much time and at what power level. The oddest thing is that it keeps the fan going as a way to help cool down after use - but this is hardly an issue to complain over. Truly amazed at how well it work and what we can do with it that we never tried to do in the past.

Love the soft close door. Took a little getting used to. Runs nice and quiet. The fan runs a while after it shuts off similar to our convection oven.

This is an excellent microwave. The reviews that raved about the 'Smart Reheat' knowing the perfect temperature every time is true! We used to use trial and error to reheat everything on our old unit. Since the largest amount of usage is reheating, this is the perfect microwave. The only complaint is that the fan continues to run after the heating is complete.

Best microwave I've ever used. Slight learning curve but cooks great.

Love it. It fits the look of my kitchen and works fantastic.

No problem works as expected This is a replacement for a defective unit.

Features are good. Food does not dry out on reheat settings. Soft close door is nice.

Great love the soft close door The easy use buttons Can melt chocolate just right

Love this microwave. It is a step up from the previous model. The soft close is great. The last model sounded like you were slamming it each time. The new sounds are so nice and you can control the volume so you can hear it in other rooms. And the defrost and reheat sensing works great. Would never buy another brand microwave.

Have various countertop microwaves before from Panasonic, Sharp and GE. Breville Smooth Wave is the best so far. It is much quieter than any of the previous ones and the soft door close eliminates the long banging. I really like that it has a handle as it eliminates fingerprints that always bugged me. The ready chime is a pleasant alternative to the microwave beeping that other manufacturers have. The sensor cooking is a dream. The price is higher than other brands with the same cft but you get what you pay for. This is the Tesla of microwaves.

Love this microwave. Perfect size to keep in my pantry an off the kitchen counter. I’ve had built ins for a while, but with double wall ovens, I needed a different microwave solution. Works great and love the soft close.

Bought this microwave when our old one “died”. Have loved it.

Great looking and performing microwave. Love the softclose feature

Microwave works very well just needs some time getting used to the dial vs inputting the cook time on a keypad. The locking feature is somewhat annoying as most microwaves you can open at anytime without having to hit an unlock button

Nice microwave to replace older unit. Size of cabinet was a restricting factor and this unit was perfect with lots of great features. Not sure about the "self-closing" door though. Rarely use this feature.

Took sometime to decide on this microwave. So far so good and totally happy with it. Used it without opening the manual. Originally thought those buttons behind the door and on the front panels would be way too confusing. Nope. Somewhere between 99.9% and 100% of all the microwaving I do can easily be done using just the front panel. Even setting the clock was easy. No user’s manual needed. If I ever have to program the favorite button behind the door, maybe I’d have to get the manual out, but I can’t imagine a situation that would require me doing that programming. Oh, and I also like the sound it makes when it’s done.

I loved it when it worked. I bought one and it kept giving the E05 error so returned and exchanged for a new one. Within 2 weeks the new one was giving the same error and I returned it as well. If it would have worked as Intended I would give it 5 stars. I really wanted it to work, I love the design and the soft close door.
