After my microwave with over 20 years gave up the ghost in the years, was a new due. My requirements were: Microwave without Grill, Space: max. 25 l, max. 1000 watts max. 200, no frills (no programs unfortunately is no longer).
The switch-off signal is a beep is repeated in 2-second intervals for 30 times. Den but you can reduce it to 6 seconds (3 beeps). The heating outside on the metal is warm to the touch. The display is clear and has a pleasant red illumination.
The specified programs I have not yet used, but that will come.
The push button for opening is just right for me, but could be difficult to move in the elderly.
Benefits:
+ Good Instructions (despite Made in China)
+ Smooth knob for setting the time (duration in 10-second intervals, minutes only 1 are single seconds adjustable)
+ Light Setting the time (knob)
+ Watt-selection button
Disadvantages:
- Turntable runs slightly jerky (not at the soup plate to make full)
- Every spot in stainless steel housing visible
- The fan is quite loud and runs 30 seconds after (after shutdown)
- When opening the unit shifts (machine too light or pushbutton too sluggish?)
My conclusion: For heating food (at 600 or 900 watts) or thaw (90 or 180 watts) full marks. The disadvantages listed reduce the whole to 4 points.
