    Bought as a set with kettle (which broke after 3 weeks), but this seems to be lasting better! Seems to get very hot though, having to cook everything on medium heat!

    The controls are a little less than ideal (not terribly intuitive) but I expect there is an element of form over function there.

    No other negative comments. Only owned it for three months at the time of writing so hopefully it will prove reliable.

    I’ve been trying to find a yellow microwave for Years! Hurrah, finally one to match my kitchen. Not got as much internal height as my previous microwave but strangely it is wider inside, which is marvellously useful for my large dinner plates which I had to set at an angle in my last model.

    Ten out of ten to Amazon support: having noticed that this microwave carries a 2 year warranty I left my number on the customer service page. I was called back instantly and after going through what the issue is the lovely lady I spoke to is sending me out a new microwave. It will arrive the day after tomorrow So, I am going to give Swan another chance. Well done Amazon.

    I purchased the Swan Microwave in April 2021. It is easily the most expensive microwave I have ever bought. It has had only very light use 2 or 3 minutes here and there to reheat food or warm plates etc. It started making grinding noises a few months ago. This evening it made a very loud humming noise then a loud pop! It no longer heats anything. It has bitten the dust in just over 18 months. My cheap 35.00 one which I replaced with the Swan and gave away to a family member is still going strong and must be 8 years old if it’s a day.
    The one star is for the colour.I could not recommend buying one.

    Below is my original review, how wrong I was about it’s performance!
    I mostly only use a microwave to heat up and this sets my kitchen off a treat along with it’s other matching kitchen accessories. Easy to use knobs (as opposed to digital settings). I can’t review any cooking as such because I don’t use it to cook in but I would imagine if you did it would perform well.

    My old microwave was 7 or 8 years old and was becoming difficult to clean and was making clunking noises so I decide to invest in a new one.
    I have heard of Swan before and have bought a halogen cooker made by them. I found their items to be cheap but reliable so bought this particular microwave as it was also in Amazon warehouse.
    I like my kitchen tools to be simple to use and easy to clean and this fits the bill exactly. The dial has a few power settings and there is a start/stop button, it couldn’t be simpler really. My old one had a grill, oven, etc but I never used anything except the microwave function, my reason for going simpler to operate (also cheaper to buy).
    I have no complaints so far, it heats my food and does it fairly quickly, so 5 stars from me..

    Very happy with this microwave. Looks great and fits in well in our multicoloured kitchen.
    Not had it long so it’s early days so far. I’d recommend keeping the instructions handy if you want to use the multifunction option.
    Can’t understand why the orange one is more expensive than the other colour ones.

    We are pleased with this item, it is a nice colour and easy to use. We could see through the door of our old Swan microwave to see when the milk boiled in the cup. We cannot do this with our new one, it is very hard to see but not really a problem as we put the milk in a jug now so that it does not boil over. I am sure we will get to love the new Swan microwave as much as we did our previous one.

    The item arrived very quickly and exactly as described! The colour is perfect for a country-style kitchen and fits neatly into the corner 🙂 We’ve been using it for a few months now and had no issues with it whatsoever. It heats well, defrosts well and considering we have 2 young children, use it on a reasonably regular basis for baked potatoes, soup etc The inside is a bit smaller than we are used to but that’s probably because it’s retro…and plates are bigger than they used to be but overall functions well! Thank you

    Lovely easy to use microwave.
    Amazon customer very good when I received the first one it would not sit flat on worktop so had a replacement but again would not sit flat on worktop but I solved by taping a small piece of cardboard on rear corner.
    Presume this is a design fault amazon customer care was good but swan customer care just not interested.
    Would have got a different brand but all other kitchen appliances are all the retro desig

    Great looking microwave and very easy to use. My only quibble would be how small it is internally – although not especially small volume wise it doesn’t fit my plates and you can’t stand a packet of rice up in it.

  54. GeorgiaLovelady says:

    A good value product that isn’t too large, and looks smashing. A lot of microwaves are quite bulky and dominate the worktop, but this one is more compact than a lot you find. It’s also easy to use, with just two dials. Being 800W, it does take a little longer to heat food than a lot of other microwaves, but that’s not something that bothers us particularly. Overall, we’re very pleased with this purchase.

    Lovely colour. Only criticism is that when it finishes the cook it keeps beeping until you open the door – great so you don’t forget your dinner but annoying if you’ve sterlised baby bottles and gone to bed before the cycle has finished!

    Nice little microwave.
    There is a mark on the inside of the glass that I’m unable to remove, but didn’t contact Amazon as I couldn’t be bothered to wrap it all back up to send it back.
    I only use it to heat my porridge currently and it does the job perfectly.

    The microwave itself is good and goes well with our kitchen as we have ordered the full range.
    However, our packaging was damaged even though it had an amazon seal. I suspect the product was returned due to damage and I have been able to pull out using suction pads.

    I love my pink microwave. One Year on it still works perfectly and rather than a microwave with a dark inside it’s white and easy to see the dirt .

    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 use and clean.

    Of all the Swan retro range this is my favourite. It heats food and liquids well, care must be taken on removal from the microwave as they become quite hot. Liquids and indeed most foods are best heated in a glass bowl or handled jug, to avert a swimming pool of molten liquid forming inside the unit. I don’t understand how this could be retro as I don’t think they had microwaves in the 1940’s-50’s? Did micro waves even exist before they were invented – discuss.

    Golden Review Award: 5 From Our UsersThis microwave is amazing, what more can I say? It’s small and compact and even though it’s only 800 W, It packs a powerful punch it heats up soups, Stews, and other frozen foods with ease. There are multiple functions with only two dials on the microwave, one to set the function (including auto-cooking) which ranges from re-heating up a drink to defrosting your next meal, warming up bread (to make it as fresh as the day it was baked), rice to steaming veg You can even change the power settings which range from medium-low which is 40 percent medium-high which is 80 percent and 100 Percent being the highest setting which is obviously 800 W.

    I have two concerns though, 1, when in use, the outside casing gets hot. I’m not too sure how this will effect the longevity as, other microwaves I have had (as far as I can recall) didn’t get hot to touch and 2, with it being compact, you can’t fit a normal sized dinner plate in and, when opening the door, the microwave moves as it is lighter than standard microwave ovens.

    I totally love my new microwave i have decorated my kitchen an American diner theme the blue swan products look amazing and brighten up the kitchen perfect and also gives it the retro look. If like myself your changing colour scheme and buying a few new swan products it works out cheaper buying the items separate rather than in a package deal from Swan! I saved quite a bit of money doing this and as an amazon prime customer everything was free next day delivery. Best thing I ever did was subscribe to amazon prime the amount of money I have saved since joining has been great. I have recommended amazon prime to family and friends it’s has a lot of great benefits and bargains.

    I ordered this item for my holiday home and went to a lot of trouble to get it installed. I have now had complaints from 2 sets of guests that it does not work: It does not heat anything up. My cleaner has also tested it, found the same so I would like a full refund. If you want it returned I will also have to add 30 plus postage as the cleaner will charge for taking this to the post office.

    This microwave arrived very quickly and was packaged well.
    Nothing to assemble, just put into position and you are ready to go.
    I love all things retro and especially green! This is such a nice colour and adds pop in my vintage style kitchen. I love the controls and how simple they are to use. You basically just choose the settings on the upper dial and then dial the minutes in at the bottom.
    You can also set according to weight and that is easily explained in the accompanying booklet.
    It cooks beautifully and evenly. It has a really nice bright light inside too.
    I’m very happy with the size. I had a really large one and had been looking for one that was a nice medium size. This is perfect. Big enough to do five jacket potatoes.
    The appearance is what sold it for me so I’m extremely happy that it does not dissapoint on the function side of things.
    I also think the price is great. Worth every penny.
    I have had it for around 8 weeks and have used it more or less daily without any issues at all. I would happily recommend this beautiful retro microwave.

    Very stylish looking microwave. Simple to use and roomier than you would think, it certainly takes my full size dinner plates and the large size of pyrex bowl. So far I havn’t found anything that I have wanted to put in there that hasn’t fit! Works really well, it’s far better at defrosting than my old microwave. The only mildly irritating thing is that when it’s finished whatever it’s doing it will give three loud beeps but then repeat said loud beeps every three minutes until you go and open the door. It’s good in that you wont forget anything but I often put something in to defrost and then leave it whilst I go and do something else – the beeps then get quite annoying. You feel like your being ruled by your microwave!! A small point really but it could really annoy some!

    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!!

    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.

    Golden Review Award: 31 From Our UsersBought to replace a boring stainless steel microwave, this machine goes perfectly in my clotted cream country kitchen.
    Lovely rich colour, and fantastic retro styling make it a pleasure to use. There is a really bright digital display clock, very clear.
    The manual is minimal, but I don’t want to do fancy stuff in my microwave, I just really want to heat stuff up or cook veggies, and I can do this very easily, by keeping the top knob on at 100%, then just whacking the time dial and pressing the little Start button.

    I have just bought it, so no idea how it will stand up to everyday wear and tear. I will try to update you in a couple of months to let you know how it’s going. However, so far, for the price, I am ridiculously pleased with this purchase.

    Update July 2015 I am still loving this microwave oven, it is really easy to clean and has kept its good looks. I have even mastered the defrost function now, but still using it mainly for heating up things!

    Golden Review Award: 98 From Our UsersI love this, with a couple of minor reservations (both of which probably say more about me than they do about the product). We bought ours to replace a similarly cream-themed Daewoo microwave which stopped working after two years. The Swan model is smarter, reassuringly more expensive to buy, and has the same capacity but a slightly smaller footprint. It’s well made, with good sturdy metal fixings throughout (none of this chrome-coloured plastic nonsense), and does everything you’d expect of it quickly, quietly and efficiently. My only reservations are as follows: firstly, the Swan branding. A cursory glance at their website proudly displays the Union Jack and the 100 year history of this great British institution, home of the Teasmaid etc. The product itself though is made in China, so don’t be fooled into thinking you’re Buying British when in fact you’re not. Secondly, it doesn’t have an energy saving standby mode – it’s either on, or its’ off. When it’s on there’s a beautiful clear (digital) clock display; turn it off though (for instance at night) and the time isn’t saved, so you either have to reset the clock each time, or simply leave it showing 00.00 all day long which is, I must confess, what we tend to do.

    As I say, neither of these minor reservations are exactly show-stoppers, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the machine to anyone looking for something smart, efficient and a little bit different.
