I am very pleased with the microwave. It is the successor of my (brown) Microwave Siemens, I had 18 years without problems. This one has a fancy stainless steel design. Very functional and a brand model, what I value. Easy to use and no bells and whistles with tens of keys. Although there was in discounter markets cheaper models with grill and much more on offer, I chose "my tried and true" model of Siemens me in the end for. The device (base model) develops no heat on the outer casing. That was also an important criterion for me, because the microwave is sealed under a cabinet / rack. I heat milk in it or muesli with milk or Heat water for soluble tea. Have already pudding cooked in it, further cooked Omelet, pre-fried goulash, of course thawed quickly in a much shorter time than is on the Herd.Tiefgefrorenes. Cooked from the day before is warmed in 3-4 min., Depending on the amount quickly. It lies a detailed description of how the device works and what is cooked how long. The unit arrived in very well packed condition. Really not that great for such a brand model from Siemens that the microwave when you press the power button shifts slightly stiff - as one would directly can design an anti-slip coating at the factory. The microwave, I use as a standalone unit on tiles work surface. This flaw but I have resolved with anti-slip self-adhesive rubber corners - now the device remains firmly in place. By the way, the old model had no slipping feet - a "small" dot or star deduction.
