Bad points

Bad Points

  • Very poor visibility through the door.
  • Need to refer to manual for further details on auto programs, only numbers shown on digital display and no quick reference guide around door.
  • No contrasting colour for stop and start buttons.
  • Control panel is slightly reflective so may be difficult to read from certain angles.
  • Seam around control panel can trap dirt and grime.
  • Control panel is reflective so shows fingerprint marks, require extra attention when cleaning.
  • Some cracks and crevices on the exterior.
  • Some small holes on the inside of the microwave that can accumulate grime.
  • Audible beep is noisy.
  • Can be awkward removing hot or heavy items from the microwave due to small cavity, easily knocks the small turntable off the runner.
