I read a few good reviews on this & a couple of bad. I liked the look of it etc. This was the worst microwave I ever purchased. So loud when on, especially when it starts. Does not cook the meal through & the top of microwave gets soooo hot, probably best to cook the meal on top. Returned it the day later. I have now read a few reviews on how hot the top of microwave gets.

The microwave's heating element has failed after 18 months - the plate turns, but doesn't heat. Everything else works fine, besides the plastic over the start button that started bubbling/peeling within a month of having it.
I purchased this microwave from Target, with it only having a 1 year warranty, now they don't look to even stock it anymore - not surprised.

I actually stumbled on these reviews when trying to find where we could buy another of this microwave!

We've had no issues at all. Had it for 5 years, works perfectly. I love it have a handle rather then a button to push that pops it open.

The main feature we use is the quick start. We've used a few other features but not very much at all.

Would recommend to others.

The plate turns, but it no longer heats. Of course, it's just outside the product warranty period. Microwaves have been around long enough and I'd expect the quality and technology to be better in 2016, rather than worse. Same issue with my Breville Kettle. I've learned the hard lesson that Breville is a poor quality product. They make them to be replaced often, which is where they make their money. However, in my case, it would have backfired because I will not be replacing anything in my home with Breville. Strike 2, you are out.

Uneven heating,cold in centre have to keep stiring,longer heating time than I usually have to reheat homemade meals in my old microwave (10 years) only got new on as I had full kitchen renovation. Big mistake wished I never purchased it and kept my old microwave ....

I have owned the Beville Microwave for almost 2 years and I'm absolutely happy with the cooking results.Its easy to use and the timer lets me know when the food or liquid is ready. The noise of the microwave is bearable and the timer noise can even be heard outside,perfect for when you doing outside jobs. Compared to other microwaves I owned, the Beville Quick and Easy is well built and very functionable.

It was used daily for heating food. Only lasted 14 months. Has great cooking features which I never used. Only convinced my husband to get this one as they had free Jamie Oliver knives and chopping board if you bought it.

Really disappointed. I'm now using a Panasonic one!

Expensive knives and chopping board. Lesson learnt

Have only had for 3 weeks, is a bit noisier than other microwaves we've had and it doesn't have a timer which we really miss, and on one occasion had condensation between the inner and outer glass on the door which did evaporate but otherwise we are very happy with it

Started having problems about 4 weeks after purchasing....the internal light stopped working. Then after about 2 months the start button stopped working. I have lost my receipt so I am hoping Breville will help me out by letting me know how to fix these problems even though I have no proof of purchase. I am awaiting a return call from the NZ office.

I was disappointed that it broke just out of warranty but received great service from Breville and got a replacement. The replacement broke after 5 months. This time Breville tells me that my warranty only runs from the time that I bought the original microwave and will not replace it.

After around 6 months of use the beep noise stopped. Around 6 months later it started again. Some of the buttons take a few hard pushes now to make them work. Otherwise it seems to work except that it doesn't really feel 1000watt. Bit disappointing that these things keep failing.

Bought this to replace my faithful Panasonic simply because of a change in décor in the kitchen (the stainless steel look).
Bought it on sale at Target and it lasted a week and promptly blew up. Received a replacement under warranty (but had to pay a restocking fee because the first one was bought on sale). The second one lasted 13 months and started making fizzing sounds even when only on standby. Breville tech support suggested I buy a new microwave...duh!
Went back to a new Panasonic...fantastic!

3 years and 3 months later the most important buttons start and stop doesn't work anymore. I paid $200 on sale original price $550. I should have kept my oldie which is probably still going. So I highly recommend invest in a good set of pots and heat your food the retro way!

I bought the cranberry BM0300 just under 2 months ago, probably only used a handful of times. It has now cut off six times during heating. Last night was the worst, heating some veggies it cut out twice. I don't believe this is safe..I am very disappointed and will be returning it where I purchased it.

Nine months old and it is clicking (could be mistaken for a crackling sound) internally and surging on and off, display panel flickering. I can't use it at all. Time to try and find the receipt. When it does work it is noisy but I can live with that. It's disappointing that after a short time it has malfunctioned with similar problems to what is described by other owners.
