We have been using this for a couple of weeks, and we are delighted! So far, everything is working well and as advertised. The soft-close door, the configurable audibles, and the stainless steel finish are the highlights for us.

The more I use this fantastic microwave oven, the more I like it. It is so quiet and when the food is ready and you open the door a cooling fan runs for a short time and this fan is slightly louder than the microwave so this takes a few days to get used to as does the fantastic soft close door. My wife and I have been using Micriwave ovens for over 50 years and this oven is the nicest by far. The way it thaws out frozen food is far superior to the other brands we have owned and the Breville is beautiful sitting beside our Breville toaster oven which we bought 3 years ago and it is also fantastic and the biggest reason we decided to go with another Breville product

We bought this microwave 8 months ago. What attracted me to this microwave in the first place is the intuitive and rapid adjustment of both power and timer settings using dials. I was pleased that it works well, the settings adjusted by the dials are reflected on the nicely sized LCD screen. It is a whole lot easier to set the power level than in other microwaves - in fact you can quickly change the time and power while it is still cooking, using the dials. That is worth a lot to me. I don't want to have to laboriously press up and down power and time buttons ever again. Power level is good. It is at least as powerful as our Panasonic inverter microwave with a similar rating. Yes we have two microwaves in our kitchen. You can never have enough of them to have everything warmed up together, just before serving dinner. Maybe one can specialize in cooking popcorn, some people say this one doesn't do a good job with popcorn. In any case, I still greatly prefer using this Breville Microwave. The smart cook feature cooks rice better than all the other microwaves we have used. We like long grain rice, and it cooks the Mahatma basmati rice perfectly at the usual 2:1 water-rice ratio. This could be a big deal if you eat a lot of rice. The other smart cook features we have tried with vegetables have worked well. The soft close feature works well. I am careful to close the door gently, to try and prevent future problems. It has an unusual feature that the fan often stays on after the microwave is finished. That is probably a good thing because heat is the enemy of all sensitive electronic components.
