Good cheap microwave
The microwave is really cheap compared to the other brands, i live by myself and the size is not too big which is suitable for one person, i think it can barely put 2 lunch boxes
The microwave works normally and the time to heat up a box of food for me is at around
3.5mins-4mins
I used it almost every day as I usually prepare my breakfast at night and put it in the fridge then microwave it the next morning

Reasonable price with unexpected quality
the microwave is a pretty small one which is perfect for my little kitchen, the price is cheap and it works well, there’s not much complicated buttons which is good for older people (my mum and dad) but the microwave is a little bit smaller than I expected before i buy, but it’s still okay as we do not usually uses microwave
There’s a bit noise while we are using it, but not too loud and i can accept that

Good Little Basic Microwave
The title pretty much covers it:
Its good - it cooks well and works as expected.
Its little - its much smaller than most family sized models.
Its basic - it has very few menus or complicated features
Microwave - umm yeah, its a microwave Lol!
Seriously though, this model covers all the basics well and suits a couple. No real negatives other than the small size

It’s okay but you get what you pay for
Small, cheap microwave. It does the job but isn’t very powerful and I find that things need to be left in there for longer than they would in another microwave, which to be fair is to be expected when you’re picking up a microwave for such a fair price!
We bought this microwave because our kitchen is tiny and it’s the only one that fit on our bench. It’s perfect for a small apartment!

Cheap and cheerful
Purchased this microwave as the last one died and we urgently needed a microwave to sterilize baby bottles. We had initially purchased it thinking it would be a good temporary option but still using it and don't plan to replace unless it dies. For the pricepoint it does the job although it is a little small.

Kmart Home 20L Microwave
A very good small and compact microwave, Ideal for camping or caravan as long as you have a generator able to supply at least 1kw continuous power as this unit is a 700 watt unit. It does not have all the features of larger models but it does my favourite, (favorite in other English) it has a popcorn button lol. Seriously though It is ideal for fast small food warming or cooking. If you used to large models it will take awhile to get used to this one, but it does the job even though it may take longer. It also comes with a 1 year warranty. I have so far no complaints with this unit. I would though love to have non rotating turntable type, but these days they all do if domestic. (Panasonic excluded)

A great little microwave
We purchased this microwave for use in our caravan and haven’t been disappointed
It’s a little smaller than your average microwave and might take a little longer but it certainly works very well.
We have not had any issues with quality and years later the microwave continues to work.
We just couldn’t beat the value for money on this one and chose it over more expensive units.
I recommend this microwave for people wanting a smaller unit or for a couple just starting out.

Cheap no frills microwave
This was extremely cheap - only $48. You need to keep your expectations in check because it is:
1/ About 25% smaller than most others
2/ Limited menu options
3/ Only 700watts
However it does work well within these parameters and does a pretty reasonable job too.
Its very plain looking but it works just fine.

Good for a couple
This is a pretty small microwave. It looked about 75% of all the other ones in KMart but it is reasonably powerful (for its size) and is great for lunches or reheating food for two. For example I cook a small frozen apple pie takes exactly 1 minute to cook to warm from frozen (then I put it in the oven). A cup of coffee is a little less around 50 seconds.It works well!

Good thing come in small packages
They say "good things come in small packages". Well they are going to need to be small with this microwave because its really compact!. You can't get a full sized dinner plate into it so I either use a paper towel or a side plate or just put things right on the platter. Its very easy to use and works well despite the size - really well actually! No complaints other than the size. I would say "go for it " if you are OK with the size.

Basic microwave
Basic microwave oven, pretty cheap and functional.
Due to it's lower wattage, might need to heat the food a tad longer especially if it is directly from the freezer.
No accident thus far. However do consider it's size as it is really pretty tiny (we can squeeze in two lunchbox to heat up together while we had no issues doing that with the ones we had in school).

Caution!
Was very happy with size, cost and functionality of this little unit - until tonight when it nearly caught fire. Please be careful! I first noticed smoke when cooking pappadams a few weeks ago and tonight I was heating up a wheat pack (perhaps it was a contributing factor) but...

Best cheap microwave going
This little microwave is as good as people say. If you can put up with the very compact size, then its a real little winner. It has simple clear menus and cooks quite fast for its size. I just go by weight as this seems like the most reliable method for cooking times and it always turns out well, Really can't go wrong with this model but I recommend you check the size carefully before buying because it really IS smaller than most others.

Excellent value - cheap but works well
I am impressed with this small sized microwave. I use it every morning to heat milk for coffees and it does the job perfectly. It has a very clear and simple interface and a solid but quite small body. I mostly just do milk in it with a jug but I have cooked pies and other snacks in it and it always works well. It seem pretty quick to me. I know that 350ml of milk boils if I leave it in for 3 minutes! (found out the hard way). No complaints - good value

Great for reaheating dinners
I mostly jsut use this to reheat food but I occasionally cooks small things like dim sims in it too. Its cheap as anything and functions just as well as any major brand one I have had. Please be aware that its definitely physically on a smaller scale than most microwaves - his doesn't worry me but it might some. No problems at all, works great.

Very good value
Basically you can't go wrong with this, super cheap and basic microwave oven that does what is says! Easy to lift and fit in any kitchen style whether old or modern. If they offer a bigger size in similar price range it will be my impulse buy! I like their return policy and if you stick with them no hassle.

Baby microwave works well
I have come to quite like this little microwave. Its definitely smaller in size of a regular microwaves but works as the same as any other. The size means you have to either put your food on a very small plate or what I do, is just put it on a paper towel. The menus are quite accurate if you just go by food weight and its not noisy at ll when running. Good little machine!

As we no that microwave ovens cook from inside u mite have to go to Kmart and ask them or ring the company and tel them I don’t think it wil b cheap tho
We found the plate online and it is a common problem with microwaves. Not just this one. It depends on the person using it! The plate is for the 'waves' to circulate the action.
