Microwave oven query

[Damo666]

Hi guys.I’m about to purchase a new microwave oven today.I’m willing to pay upto £100.I’ve narrowed my field of purchase down to Panasonic, DeLonghi, lg, Kenwood and definately Bosch(can’t locate any bosch micro’s in my area though) but am seeking information as to whether or not these are good brands to consider.All feedback is much appreciated.Many thanks.Damian.

Re: Microwave oven query

There is not much to choose between different makes in terms of reliability. The Panasonic one probably has an inverter rather than the simple HT transformer and could therefore be more expensive to repair if it does go wrong. Similarly, with regard to microwave leakage protection, they all use very similar design and materials and will be equally safe.

Cheers mate.Well, i’ve just been doing a bit of research and apparently Kenwood microwaves aren’t actuall manufactured by Kenwood, but are made by currys so i think i’ll be staying well clear.Also found a lot of people moaning about the Panasonic inverter units.Can anybody else add some input as i’m gonna be leaving here at 1pm to buy this.Cheers.

Hi

Sharp is always a good all round bet. The R26STM in the microwave only range or the R657 in either white or silver in the micro with grill range.

Have you tried the Bosch dealer locator ?

Hiya Don.Yeah, i tried the Bosch locator and it came up with a local company called direct discounts.I phoned them up 1st thing but they said they stock everything Bosch apart from micro’s which is a pity.Anyway, i took a trip to Comet today and ended up purchasing the Panasonic NNE273S in stainless steel.It doesn’t say inverter on the front like the inverter versions, so i’m hoping it isn’t.It weighs a fair bit anyway so i’ll assume it’s the transformer.Cheers guys and have a good weekend.

Just spotted this, as a local chap I thought it wise to mention that Direct Discounts sell a lot of graded or factory refurb machines, even though most punters think they are buying brand new goods. 😉

Cheers Iadom.Yeah, i live only 5 minutes drive away from Direct Discounts.I’m now glad i bought my unit from Comet instead.Must admit, i’ve seen one of the receipts that they provide and they don’t look particularly professional.
