Customer Review

Came the model in the usual cardboard and carton, so that nothing can go wrong .. Included was next to the device itself, a guide, a glass plate, the hub under the glass tray and a grill. Although it is slightly larger of the dimensions ago when our old model, it fits perfectly into the gap. Optically the model looks very nice. The housing is made of polished stainless steel, what you may need and just magically attracts fingerprints. The front itself is mirrored, and I with normal window could not daily so well with my old model. Right next to the window is a good, stable grip and next to the controls. At the same but I still continue eingehe. The cable is normally long, and reaches us out. They will not slip with us on the work surface and generally makes a good impression.

Now for the controls that have an annoying key tone, moreover, as my old unit as well, and also have a good tactile feedback. Everything is held in English. A character that is typical of plain stone, and will surely disturb some users, but there are simple concepts, such as Clock, Fish or Milk should also persons with weak English skills to understand everything. There are like 12 different programs that are fortunately marked on the device. In our old microwave you had to remember exactly which program is appropriate for what things. As we quickly lost the instructions on moving, we could use it only restricted. Who does not want an automatic program, which can also turn on the bottom right in 30 second increments the device. Just press until the time is selected, which one would like, then stop, and the unit goes 1-2 seconds later going on. In the center under the rotary knob is the Stop button, which also goes to pause. Basically, so very easy to use, so you should not cast a glance at the manual. This is quite short, but fortunately answered all questions, which at Klarstein not always the case.

In the first moment when you open the microwave and the film is withdrawn from the control panel, then she smells something artificial, so I have to run only around 5 minute empty. After that, the smell was gone. After that I dared me to the first attempt, for every microwave is just a bit different, and you have to look to what extent the experience also apply here. Especially since I did not even know the wattage of my old unit.

I started with a hot chocolate. With our microwave needed 250ml milk just over 1.5 minutes. Here I started with one minute and the milk was warm drinking. After I chose the program milk, and here too, the milk was warm quickly, even a tad warmer, so the cocoa powder dissolved better.

The same applies to rice. I love my rice cooker Tupper. On my old microwave the 10 minute rice took 19 minutes for him to finish. There are around 17 minutes and with the rice button it works in less keystrokes.

Both tests show that my values ​​are rough, but the programs are a bit better and are just really matched to the dishes / products. I love the use of fun, even though I probably from now prefer to cook the rice on the induction cooker, because it is perfect there for 12 minutes. As with any device I recommend but again, everything in between to control, at least the first time, because then you can be sure that nothing is too soft or too hard.

If everything is ready, then the unit will beep loudly, so you can hear it even in another room. It's a bit louder than my old model and is also not through open end, but not so you miss the right moment.

In addition to the microwave function, there is also the grill. I have tried it once, but I can not convince Grill functions. Accordingly, I have only ever tried to see if it works or is defective.

The cleaning is easy. Is nothing explodes, simply wipe with a damp cloth. If what exploded, the plate can be packed in the dishwasher or washed by hand in the sink. The interior can be cleaned with a sponge and dish soap.

'' Our conclusion o0o o0o '' '
Meanwhile, I use these microwave some time and very happy. It is nice and quiet, easier to clean and has great programs that are working well. The price of about 75 is more than fair, and would definitely choose me again for the model. How long does the model work properly, is, as with my old time will tell, but I'm hopeful that it works as long as beautiful.

UPDATE 20/06/2014: In the meantime, we have the equipment now in use a few weeks, and currently there are really moments when I curse them. That is why there is now a small update. So what bothers me now, and led to the withdrawal.

And here I could really curse. Unfortunately I have to express and therefore often do I need just take advantage of the vaporizer. During the day it is less disruptive, but you have to sterilize everything in the night, then comes to frustration. With the set time expires, the device makes his usual beeping. During the day you go down quickly and take out the things of the night, however, I go up and I am glad if I can fix back to sleep before the monsters get hungry again. However, instead of stopping after the information that the microwave beeps every 5 minutes again to say, I'm done. Certainly nothing wrong, so you do not forget his food, but 2-3 times would be enough as a reminder. For me it is now either wait or down again to run the way to the kitchen, otherwise the final signal will sound again and again. I'm sorry, but I find it very disturbing at the time, but this is because my dwarf wants to eat almost every hour and I therefore get little sleep.
The criticism is most noticeable when you just makes a lot with the microwave. In the beginning, where I had to sterilize a lot, since we had all new and even now, when it really comes time hourly, then you realize that the microwave smells a bit after 3 application to plastic. But whether this is now up to the vaporizer or in the microwave, I do not know exactly. All I know is that it was never the case with the old and the old microwave steam steriliser.

UPDATE 06/23/2014
Actually belonged to two points, but Klarstein was kind enough to respond to these points and give me some assistance, so that two of the criticisms are now disappeared. For one thing bothered me the fact that when you press the start button and the time setting only at the beginning 30 seconds steps are possible and later only one minute. Secondly, at 12 minutes it was closing. Turn the wheel to the problem, however, has done and the point I've probably read or not found himself.

To smell I can now add that it is minimal at the microwave. It's not obtrusive, but very discreetly, to anticipate to say that again. After I got prepared over the weekend for us five cup cake in a microwave oven, the smell was perceived also next to the sweet cake scent.
