After extensive research, for example, about Stiftung Warentest and in local retail we opted ultimately for this device. It replaces our meantime but already somewhat outdated Microwave AFK. After we used the microwave mainly for heating food and beverages in the daily operation, it should not be a device with a lot of bells and whistles and complicated technology. Two round rotary members for Power and timing therefore ranged from us completely. The unit makes a solid impression and has evolved due to its stainless steel finish for eye-catcher in our kitchen. The housing could be more stable in the upper part, but on usability or stability does not have any influence. The lettering is a bit small for us (50+) and to decipher only with glasses. In operation, the MW 7849 runs pleasantly quiet, standing close by Kitchen Radio is - continue to hear - no volume increase. It was different in our AFK. The illumination of the cooking area is sufficiently bright, so that the cooking is good to watch. With the Grill function, we have only been prepared two pizzas. The result was good, too. After four weeks in operation, we found that the Severin MK 7859 a thoroughly reliable and fulfilling its purpose device. Who, like us, like a microwave with clear controls and resulting simple but reliable operation without the some devices in abundance - and sometimes unnecessarily - existing knobs and switches want, which we can use this machine - also in view of the very good price / performance ratio highly recommend! Recommended, reliable and quick as ever was the order / delivery via Amazon!
