Precise temperature controls are in place to ensure even defrosting of your frozen foods. The interior white LED lamp is energy efficient and brightly illuminates inside so you can keep an eye on your food.

    An anti-bacterial coating in the interior eliminates 99.9% of harmful bacteria from the surface, and makes cleaning easy.

    Product Quality - Poor
    4 months and the touch screen has stopped working. To make matters worse, I am expected to drive 1 hour one way to drop it off, then collect it, thats 4 hours of driving to get the repair done

    Questions & answers

    Is there a trim kit for this microwave Anonymous · 2023-11-26
    Hello, Thank you for this product question, sorry to say that not all brands and models will supply or make trim kits to suit microwave ovens and the model you have selected is one of them, we do have models that either have a microwave oven trim kit included or are able to be built in without the need for this trim kit. I trust that this information will prove helpful as you shop with us at Appliances Online. Our Sydney office operates around the clock 24/7, and you can reach us at 1300-000-500.

    Do they fit it. Ccol · 2023-04-18
    Good Afternoon, Thank you for this product question, microwave ovens are classed as a small appliance that does not require our drivers to unbox and install, generally, the consumers will do this, however, if you have an old benchtop model disconnected and ready to go the driver will dispose of the old microwave for you. I hope this information will assist you when shopping here with us at Appliances Online. Colin Jones, Appliances Online
