Doesn't heat as well as regular microwave

published

First time trying a flatbed style. Probably would not buy again, would return to standard rotation style as it seems to not heat as thoroughly. The microwave itself works fine, is good quality etc, it's just the heating coverage we find not as good.

Cold Spots slow heating

published

Don't quite understand the rave reviews. The lack of a spinning plate means that there is often large patches of food that are completely cold while others are lava hot, keep having to open the door and move the food to get it fully warmed

Flatbed Microwave is Awesome - LOVE IT!!!

published

I needed a New Microwave and looked at reviews before deciding to get one and I was SOLD on the idea of getting one that didn't require the food to spin around on a rotating plate. Now I can cook food that doesn't need to bang into the walls inside the Oven or fall over like the Microwave Gravy can. Anyway This Breville Flatbed Microwave is awesome. I do keep a cloth handy and wipe the moisture out after each use so it's not at risk of rusting away. I would give it 10 stars if possible.

Best microwave I've had

published

This is how all microwaves should be made. No silly turntable - just a flat ceramic floor, providing a lot more room. It works well and is relatively quiet, while being great value for money. Awesome purchase (I got it at discount from Bing Lee Tuggerah).

Love the flatbed

published

I wasn't sure about the reliability of flatbed technology for even heating but Breville "Diamond Wave" seems to actually deliver on what they promise with quick, consistent heating across a wide range of foods. I like the presets and quick 30s preset. The microwave has a very fat bottom which isn't obvious in the pictures so check your space dimensions before making your purchase!

Flat bed is brilliant. Heating time slower than my old microwave

published

The flat bed is so much better than the spinning glass tray!
Cleaning takes a second in between use simply wipe all surfaces in a minute.
Looks great too. The defrost works well. The heating time is slower than my old microwave. Not sure of the power outage comparison. Doesn't bother me too much of it takes little longer to heat

What is the issue with diamond wave microwave sitting on a metal surface? Is this an issue only for this technology or all microwaves?

I'm confused about the Meat Auto Menu button: page 20 of the manual says it's for re-heating meat but page 21 under TIPS ON AUTO MENU SETTINGS talks about cooking meat. So what's the button for - re-heating or cooking?
