Great little microwave

published

Such a great compact little machine. Fits on the kitchen bench and doesn't take up too much room. Heats quickly and efficiently. Excellent value for the price and it comes with a 12 month warranty. The clock is easy to set and the instructions are easy to understand. Love it

Gets used all day!

published

There are five of us here and this gets a solid workout. It is a very capable little microwave considering it only cost $48. I would say we have already had our money's worth and we only got it this year! It has already had that many hot drinks, reheated takeaway dinners, apple pies and popcorn packets through it, it is has earned its stripes! It is super easy to use and although quite small, it is pretty solid. How can they even make this for $48? Oh well I am glad they do, its pretty good!

Mostly use it to heat milk

published

This is a very compact sized microwave but its all I need as i only use it to warm milk (mostly). It was cheap as anything but the quality is quite OK. Its reasonably solid - the door closes with a solid thud and it has clear simple buttons. It is fairly unremarkable looking but it works exactly as expected. Just be aware that it IS very small!

The ACTUAL cheapest microwave

published

I am house sitting for six month and there is no microwave - well there is now. This id the ACTUAL cheapest one that I can find that's still has Australians safety approval. It from Kmart and its $48. Its pretty small in size - maybe 3/4 of a regular one but it actually works pretty darn well. Maybe I had zero expectations and it exceeded them? Solid build, good menus and can cook a pie in under five minutes - pretty good! Has a 12 month warranty too - can't lose!

Small convenient size - works well

published

We got this for our caravan and its has worked out very well. Its very compact, and fits in our limited space but has plenty of power. We feel that its quite the bargain (was only $48) and does just a good job as our fully featured Panasonic at home. The only quibbl;e is that because of the compact size you cant fit plates larger than a side plate in but that is fine. Very good value!

Excellent microwave

published

I got a really good microwace easy to clean and very easy to use. No problem at all. Wouldn't but any other brand microwave. I would recommend a kambrook microwave. Its easy to defrost foods and heats really well. I would recommend 5 stars for the microwave. The price is excellent

Incredible value & easy to use

published

Bought this cheap microwave at Kmart for $48 while renovating and it has worked really well the entire time, had it for over a year now. Very easy to use, especially the start button that gives you instant 30sec cooking and you can press it multiple times to increase the time. Great value, would buy again but don't need to!

Great Little Smaller Microwave

published

This is not the world's biggest microwave - it's actually quite small but it works flawlessly and is very cheap - only $48! The manues are clear and simple and the build quality is overall very good - amazing for the price. Cooking is great! It works perfectly whether cooking defrosting or re-heating. A real bargain!

Really small but a good performer

published

This microwave is small! Its only about 3/4 the size of most but its an excellent little performer. I use it all the time to cook and reheat and it does an excellent job. You will find that you have to put food on a paper towel or small plate as regular dinner plates wont fit inside but apart from that there are no cons with this (for the price). Good machine and it comes with a guarantee too

Great microwave

published

I was sceptical buying this cheap microwave from Kmart but it has surprised me how good it’s been & lasting this long. It’s very easy to use, quiet, very sturdy, but not to heavy to move. Cooking results are great too - wouldn’t change a thing. Happy with the purchase, worth every dollar.

Gets the job done.

published

Most microwaves seem pretty much the same to me and this is no exception. It is a bit on the small side but big enough for everything I want to microwave and this also means it doesn't take up as much space. I don't love that it doesn't have a quick and easy 10s/1m option but it's a minor quibble.

Its Cheap Its Small!

published

Jokes aside this tiny microwave is a wee ripper! Its small sure, but it works very well and its pretty much an unbelievable bargain at less than $50. Kmart stuff is basic but its always carefully tested for Australian safety standards so we are good there. its small - too small to put a normal sized dinner plate in but it works very well!

Simple Design Works Well

published

This is nice and simple and well designed. It is constructed better than you would think for a cheap microwave and I am happy wit it. The menus are well though out and it has enough power to do all the required functions without fuss. Sometimes I have to put food into a smaller bowl to fit it inside due to the smaller size but no worries. Its a good little unit and a bargain too

It is good

published

I am very satisfied with this product. We use it everyday for heating food and drinks, cooking simple dishes. I even make hot chocolate myself with the microwave. It is not that loud when working, my kid is not waken up by the noise when he is sleeping. It also has good looking, white color, simple and tidy.

Great price!

published

I’m really satisfied with the microwave, it heats foods fast and isn’t noisy like some other microwaves I’ve had before. It’s sturdy and fits in perfect with my other appliances. For the price and accessibility of the product, you really can’t go wrong with the microwave. Recommend to anyone, and everyone....

Cheapie Does The Job

published

We are only occasional microwave users bur there are times when you really need one. We got this based on its cheapo price but its really quite good. It does a lovely job of defrosting - even got through a massive roast of lamb that I had forgot to put out without wrecking it. Its quite well made although on the small size. I works well and is far better than I thought it would be.

Gets the job done.. eventually

published

This is a very basic microwave, not suitable for a family if you have multiple meals to heat at dinner time. For a single person it’s all you need to get the job done - quiet and easy to read. Quite a nice looking for a cheap option of microwave.

Why pay more?

published

Great little compact microwave from Kmart - does the job, can't imagine spending more for something flashier. We use it for reheating and simple cooking (porridge, polenta, even scrambled eggs). It does have a low wattage which is something to keep in mind if you are following cooking instructions or used to more powerful microwaves.

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.
