Good little machine. Lots of functions.

published

I found this to be a good size, but then I don't do anything that extreme with my microwave. Very good looking, and a gazillion functions which I've never used, but my housemate likes the versatility.
My only irritation with it is that it doesn't seem to default to show the clock, instead it shows "00:30" (as in 30 seconds, ready for you to press start - the more times you press, the more time it adds on to the cooking time). That's probably a setting I could change if I look at it hard enough.
Mine doesn't get hot on top, nor do I find it particularly loud. I do find it a little smug, sitting there with all its buttons ...

Definitely would recommend!

published

Bought this about 1 years ago and have no regrets! Looks sleek and shiny, definitely much more better looking than the pictures online. Smooth transition of door and newer functions are an extra bonus. Looks heavy from eyesight, but door is actually lightweight and sturdy. Definitely would recommend! Just does its job and works very well!

Terrible

published

I wish there is zero stars.. Less than 2 years and it died. It will no longer warm anything. don't waste your money on it..you better get Panasonic or the Sharp. Or, if you are on tight on the Money try the Kmart unit.. you will get better service from it than this unreliable unit

Fantastic All-Rounder

published

I absolutely love this microwave. It's very easy to use, even for my older children. Very easy included functions as well as the traditional manual methods of cooking, reheating and defrosting. I must admit, the smart functions are the most used in our household. Money well spent for my family.

Good microwave

published

I just needed a microwave to heat up left over meals, it's sturdy, well built and heat ups/defrosts food quickly and properly. It's easy to use with a knob that sets the time for you and it isn't any louder than your standard microwave. Great for any kitchen bench top.

Nice, Simple, Easy to use

published

Satisfied with this fancy red microwave with the handle. Easy/quick to use the knob which you can press or turn to set the time. It is not louder than the other ordinary microwaves, easy to clean, and with this fancy colour and the handle feature, we wouldn't slam the door shut which is a good thing.

Good microwave, looks the part

published

Purchased a red one. Seems very sturdy with its stainless steel finish, and closing the door feels secure and loud. Cooks fast and evenly.
Settings are easy to use, although I find that the circular dial for time increases and decreases too quickly when wanting to heat for a specific amount of time. Easy to clean inside and out.

Nice looking unit but noisy!

published

First of all I need to mention how great this unit looks, really looks the part and matches perfectly a number of other Breville items I have on my kitchen bench-top. Unfortunately it sounds like a truck and it vibrates on and off during the heating cycle but operates as it should. I've never heard a microwave sound like this before and it has taken quite some getting used to over the months of owning it. What makes up for it is the ease of use, the turn dial for both time and power are perfect which also allow changes to be made while the appliance is running. So double thumbs up for design and function, one thumb down for the noise it creates. If you can get one on special it would be well worth considering.

Pretty as a picture

published

Despite being mad at Breville for their lack of quality control with the smart toaster, I decided to give them another chance and bought this microwave only because it was cherry red in colour. All is forgiven (for now) as it works beautifully. The initial reviews had me concerned about the noise factor but after experiencing it myself it's not that loud. Easy to use, love the design and button options. Its massive so if you don't have much kitchen space be prepared to make it a showpiece! Gorgeous colour and pleasant design, hasn't shown any visible wear and tear, I'm hoping it won't die on me like the toaster may it rest in peace

Great value!!!

published

i am very impressed with this product and the price is quite reasonable. Definitely highly recommended. Appearance is good, very classic look, there are different functions, all categorised - you can choose between seafood, frozen meat, vegetables etc. There is no noise when operating, and it is energy efficient too.

Breville BM735 making loud noise

published

We bought a Breville BM735 microwave from JB Hifi online June last year. Differ from traditional design, it has a handle to make the door open easier. It has good looking and the buttons are easy to operate. However it makes very loud, rough noise that you can hear from a far distance.

One of the Best Microwave's ever used

published

This is one of the best microwaves i have ever used. Was a bit skeptical about the knob ... but am really happy with the purchase. So easy to use and convenient.

Multiple options and setting available. Quick touch being my favourite. I would recommend this to anyone without any doubts.

We don't love it

published

Sorry Breville! You make a great blender but your microwave kinda sucks. The defrost mode just doesn't do anything. And the time dial does my head in, 30 sec, 1 min, 1 min 10 seconds, 6 mins! What the hell! It goes up way too fast and then you have to turn it back. When I microwave something I want it to happen fast. And it's not just the one we have that's not great, my house mate had the exact same one last year and it vibrated! The door made crazy sounds at like 3 months old... not great quality for the price.

Needs patience

published

It's great in looks which comes from unique design but unfortunately needs lot of patience to operate this oven. It's not easy to use as it's a bit tricky to use its features. It's quite loud and noisy especially if you are operating in the middle of the night. It's look attractive.

Questions & Answers

Roger C.asked

Quick Touch

Mine is being weird. Sometimes the clock doesn't go off for hours. Other times, the clock dims after 5 minutes. Once the unit even turned on by itself and started cooking with nothing in the oven. Any ideas? Does it need to be reset or something?

Nobody? Is there a way to RESET it? As in pushing certain buttons in a sequence? My guess is that it just needs to be rest. Unplugging it did not help.

This forum is pretty useless I guess. Does anyone from Breville read this any more?

Quick Touch

I have just purchased the breville -combi- 3 in 1--bm0870. I have set the clock. The lcd panel is only lit when the oven is in use. How do I get the panel to remain lit so the time is shown lit?
