Perfect replacement

published

This is a replacement for a kitchen which required a surround, so matching the space was essential. The oven fitted perfectly and connection of course was a easy. The operation is simple, with all features easily accessible, and dials push in, avoiding accidental damage. A good feature is that the clock turns off, saving burn in and probably slight power saving. The additional features of grill are useful and the food seems to cook evenly. The inbuilt menus are also a good feature (when you remember to use them). Overall happy with the purchase and it looks good in the kitchen.



Purchased in July 2021 at Appliances Online for A$527.00.

Poor quality product

published

Our microwave was included in a package of kitchen appliances purchased 3 years ago. It has always been slow to heat food ( compared to a previous microwave), but otherwise ok.
When closing the door, a plastic piece broke off. Now the door is closed and won’t open. The light is on and the plate rotating. I am unable to turn off the power as it is located behind the microwave and I can’t get to it without removing the trim, which is secured behind the closed door. It is Friday night and service calls won’t be answered until Monday. Given that I have waited 4 weeks for a part for my Ilve oven, ( also only 3 years old!) I would not recommend this product.

Great unit to have as a small oven

published

Great microwave/ oven unit. Easy to use and very easy to clean. Only thing is when the globe needs replacing the whole unit needs to be apart to get access to it.
Many different functions to chose from. easy to clean with the removable glass tray inside the unit.
can get finger prints very easy on the outside of the unit. a lot of cleaning with a young child in the house.

Sleek and stylish

published

Our new microwave looks great and works well. One of the best features is that it’s streamline and has a faceplate so there’s no need to clean around the microwave. The dials press in to leave a flush look when not in use. A great feature is when u finish using the microwave it turns itself off. it seems to cook well for the amount of times we have used it so far

Pretty happy

published

We purchased this for our new home as we liked the built in look.
It works perfectly and is very easy to use.
The price was also very appealing, as we bought it during a sale.
It took a while to get used to all the functions but the instructions are pretty clear

The lights were not working and sometimes it won't spin

I got this microwave which was included when I purchased my property. It's quite useful to use and the looks of it suits my kitchen and the food cooked was hot as expected however the lights stopped working after just one year and it also it sometimes spins sometimes doesn't.

A piece of usless junk - not even suitable as a boat anchor

published

Microwave was part of a Metricon Homes package - we only had it installed at Christmas, but when cooking it randomly shuts all power off then takes a few minutes before resetting itself. Yesterday I couldn't even microwave an egg with it. Have contacted Ilve - just have to wait

Dear Peter,

the symptom you describe suggests that there may be insufficient ventilation for the unit. A service visit should be able to assess the cause. ILVE Customer Care

Nothing but trouble

published

6months old, has never heated food when and has now stopped working.
Normal meals that would take 8 min to reheat, now take 9 1/2 and still the food is sometimes frozen. Not impressed at all considering it’s meant to be a high quality microwave. Any tips or contacts for customer support team would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Does the job

published

I chose this microwave because I liked the way it can be built in flush with my new kitchen cupboards. It was a bit tricky to install but once we worked it out it looks great. I have had it for three months and use it quite often I have had to adjust cooking times as it cooks differently to my old microwave. It has a grill element at the top great for melting cheese

Horrendous Microwave

published

This $700 microwave is far worse than the $150 I previously had. Everything takes 3 times longer (despite the difference in wattage of 800 v 1200), so work that one out? It's integrated into the brand new apartment I'm renting, but It's so unusable I've had to make room for the old one too!

We have 3 other iLVE products. The oven and gas top stove perform well, but the dishwasher is poorly designed as you can't fit everything in + it doesn't do a great job of washing.

Overall, i'd avoid this brand. All style, no substance.

Best microwave

published

The microwave is sleek, stylish and modern. At first it was a little tricky to use but once I was used to it, it was easy enough. It makes little noise and is easy to clean. Ilve is a brand I have grown to love and trust. Their products haven't let me down.

It's OK!

published

This BUILT-IN MICROWAVE WITH TRIMKIT IV602BIM is not bad. Haven't actually cooked anything in it. but it takes too much time to warm up a cup of milk even though I've set it to the highest power. The good thing about it is it's quiet and Stainless Steel Built-in with the appealing look. and I don't know why there is no instruction or cook book available on the website? I can only find a 2-page brochure for it!

Does the job but nothing to get excited about

published

Although it does everything you want from a microwave the clock is always incorrect.
But as far as a microwave goes it does all that is expected. It cooks things well, is very quiet and it is a built in unit so looks great. I would recommend despite the clock function issues.
