Arrived quickly. Came with detailed how to use booklet. Still learning what's what and getting to know how long things take to cook. Cooked fish in breadcrumbs on conventional setting. Delicious. Safer to use this Combination microwave than to bend to use an oven. This is why I bought it. I think this is fantastic value for money considering all that it does. Can't wait to try out grill on sausages! The colour green is as onscreen. The door is easy to open and close. Operationally it is not too difficult to get the hang of. I was used to only using a very simple microwave. I was concerned that I might not be able to get the hang of things, but I have. I admit I put the oven on conventional whilst a plastic microwave lid was inside.It melted! It took a while to work out why this happened. Learning curve. I am so glad I bought this Combination microwave. I am chronically sick and disabled. The fact that I no longer need to bend to put something in the oven means I am much safer. Whether you are conventionally cooking. Grilling or microwaving stuff, everything can be slid across the kitchen surface. No bending, no straining. No risk of dropping dishes on the floor.

I purchased this product at Christmas 2014 - I love the style of it and the colour - it fits well into my kitchen - the design is compact and stylish, however I do find that the controls are a little complicated to figure out and tend to just "do my own thing" if I'm honest. Also another little niggle is that when you use it I find that it tends to fill with fluid at the bottom - ie the steam doesn't seem to escape properly - so you end up with a puddle in the turntable well every time you use it - but this is a minor problem as over all it is a good efficient microwave and well priced. Also I have dexterity problem (I have arthritis)and I find the pull handle really easy to use and the knobs are very easy to use much easier than a push button control.All in all - despite the niggles - I would highly recommend this Microwave to anyone.

When we got a new kitchen I wanted a green microwave to match the new decor. My choice was limited so I ordered this one (though would have preferred 900w).On opening the box I was pleased with the design, but thought it looked too small. Our previous microwave was an oven/grill too, so it was quite a bit larger, and I was worried it wouldn't fit our needs (family of 4 with two hungry boys!)I had it all packed up to send back, then thought at the last minute that I'd try it out. I'm glad I did because it's actually just right. It fits a dinner plate and one of my large baking bowls (just) which is all I need really.It looks really smart with the rest of my green appliances and is easy to useand clean.

We bought this in a sale for £60ish, and for that price we are very happy with our purchase. It looks stylish and works perfectly with our kitchen.Assembly was simply, amazing pug and play really, and with a quick wipe down, you are good to go.Appreciating its only a 800w microwave, I have to say I notice this when using, always have to put in for a little longer that recommended cooking instruction so would say it’s not that powerful.It works for us, we have patience, and for the money, we are extremely happy with our purchase at this price. I wouldn’t recommend if was priced much higher because you can get a 1,000w for not much more.Good brand, good purchase and so far so good .z

I love the colour and size of this small retro blue microwave. It fits perfectly in to my flat giving me more surface space after my last combination giant. Easy and quick to use with just a turn dial to increase the seconds timer, a nice bright internal light and clock function. Ideal for someone who eats microwave meals and space is an issue. Measure your plates before purchasing if you want to put them in as it might be squeeze, I haven't tried them. My only negative comment would be the handle is bit plasticky, I would prefer a sturdy metal one but overall I love this item and wouldn't change it.

I bought a whirlpool corner microwave three years ago. I loved the design but it broke just after the one year guarantee expired. I liked it so much, I bought another. This time the guarantee was two years. With incredible precision, this one broke as the two years expired. So, I have resorted to other makes and models. This one looks really nice and actually, fits in the corner previously occupied by its expired companions, just as well. I also think it cooks more efficiently. A range of settings to suit every purpose. All in all, so far, I am impressed!!

Love the orange colour. Brightens my kitchen. Large capacity but small footprint .retro tyle is striking and mirror door looks god. All combinations work well and cooks and browns food perfectly.You can roast medium chicken in this oven using convection and micowave settings cooks beatifully retaining juiciness in one hour.No noisier than my old solo microwave which rusted inside but worked perfectly.This has easy clean stainless steel interior.Dont know about durability only had it approx one month but will update if it lasts more than a year

Retro looking and looks great on kitchen counter. It works well however I find the glass door a bit too dark to see through. I like to keep an eye on the food cooking. It’s also quite low inside. I use plastic jugs to cook peas in but one of them is to tall to fit in microwave. These are just my personal issues. One other concern I have is the blue lighting of the clock time. I find this hard to read unless I squint. I had no issues with my old microwave clock so i know it’s not my eye sight!!

Bought this after our previous microwave gave up the ghost after 17 years. It looks stunning - really compliments our kitchen. It has features such as auto cook using weights etc. but no idea how that works. We really only use our microwave for heating stuff up. Only negative really is the fiddly way the glass plate has to fit on to the roller part - but sure we'll get used to that. Bought it with a £20 off from Very so excellent value. If it lasts as long as our old one we'll be well pleased.

Our old microwave blew up on xmas day and we needed a replacement quickly. We have always had a microwave with a dial rather than lots of pre set buttons which we would never use. Hats off to argos, I ordered this boxing day morning and it was delivered into store and working in my kitchen in the afternoon. The microwave is very easy to set up and use and has lots of cooking modes. It's very stylish and efficient. I loved it so much, I even ordered the matching kettle a few days later.

Been using this microwave for a couple of months now, and so far so good.If I had to find one fault with it, I would be really nit-picking, but when it's finished, the beeps continue intermittently until you open the door. I use it to sterilise my baby's bottles - however have quickly learnt not to do them just before bed, as once the cycle is finished, the microwave will continue to beep every few minutes, until you open the door! Slightly frustrating, but not the end of the world.

Wanted a new microwave to match new colour scheme. Saw these Swan retro ones and loved the look. I usually go for a manual oven, but really wanted this one, so I took the plunge. I was surprised and glad It is so simple to use. Better than a manual. All the settings I need. Looks brilliant, even though it's a retro style, it looks sleek and modern. Would fit in any theme of kitchen. Friends and family have admired it too. A slightly lighter grey than I expected, but still love it.

I bought this microwave for my daughter as a housewarming gift because it is retro style (which she loves) and it is cream as are the rest of her kitchen appliances. Looks fabulous. Fits the bill perfectly. I have given this item 5 stars for looks and ease of use as it has a manual dial and is not digital. Unable to comment on features and performance as I haven't actually used it myself. Excellent service from Argos as always even though it was their busiest time of year!!!

I bought this microwave after falling in love with Swan’s Retro range. It looks fantastic, especially with the contrast of black and silver - though, I was tempted by the light blue version too! In terms of usability, it’s incredibly straightforward: preset times and power strengths for a variety of food (including popcorn!), as well as the usual high, medium, low, and defrost. The turntable is removable and easy to clean. Overall, I’d definitely recommend this to a friend!

Not a bad product. The control dials are a bit flimsy & it’ll be a sod to clean thanks to the grill element. Lots of cooking modes which you’ll never use, & why oh why does everything have to beep nowadays? It beeps thru each cooking selection, when you adjust the timer, when you press start & when it’s finished. And you have to use pre-selected programmes to defrost- you can’t just set it to go for 30 secs or whatever. Apart from all that, a reasonable mwave.
