8 reviews
I have been happy using it in a care home – Probably had it 2 or 3 yrs the push handle door opener is getting stuck and I see rusting at bottom of frame otherwise happy I probably will get another if available as many support workers use it and don't want to confuse them or the person we care for Show details
Extremely similar to the 20lt Sharp – Saw this microwave in Big W, there was also a 20lt Sharp. Comparing them both side by side the cabinets are identical, inside the oven the metal pressings and glass turn table including the roller mechanism is identical. Only difference was the door and the control panel. I wonder if they were both made in the same Chinese factory only one has the… Read more
Sharp name on it and the other has Big W Brilliant Basics on it. By the way the Sharp branded one was $170 and the Big W Brilliant Basics was $52 which is just over 1/3 of the Sharp price. It is a no brainer which to buy!!!
Perfect for budget – Very cheap price, lasted close to 3 years before it started sparking and clunking. Takes ages to heat anything, Quite small and compact, A dinner plate is unable to rotate due to how small inside is, Can only really use it by hitting 30 sec button and start and then adding more time. However for a budget friendly microwave this is absolutely excellent.$52 for 3 years cant go wrong if you just want it for heating/reheating Show details
Great product with a very reasonable price. Large capacity – Very happy with the product overall, given its lower price tag. Does not allow for a set time to cook as have to do in bursts of 30 seconds. We mainly use it for the defrost function which is fine and easy to use. Show details
Very Happy with product and postage – I needed to replace a failed microwave oven. A very important priority was the provision of a large, clear display(like the old Samsung oven had) so that my 96 year old mother can confidently use it when she visits. So many electronic products are overloaded with "gadgets" that are useless or never used. Big buttons, rather than more functions,… Read more
would be most appreciated by the vision impaired. This microwave oven is basic, as marketed, but it does all that I need without being overly complicated. I wish more electronics manufacturers made simplicity a priority. This oven works quite well enough, and for the price is great value. The delivery fee was very reasonable @$9.90 and prompt enough. The only reason not to give 5 stars would be the smaller size and lower power. These things are easy enough to "work around" with some familiarity. Otherwise, I am very happy with the purchase. Big W provided a prompt, professional experience. P.S. I was asked about the size of the oven. I have added an image of a large Weet-Bix packet as an indication of how it fits inside. A normal size dinner plate fits inside comfortably(just) on the turntable. For my purposes the product is big enough.
Great little microwave for the price! – Bought this microwave in Big W for $39 or thereabouts. It does everything you expect from a microwave, albeit it's only 700W. I really have only used it to heat up frozen meals or reheat food. It does a nice job of that. It heats evenly and if cooking instructions call for a certain time in 1000W oven, I usually add another 20% and it works fine.… Read more
It's very small though and not much will fit in larger than a dinner plate. But it just keeps going and going so for $40 I have no complaiints.
Worth the money – Probably one of the cheapest microwaves in the market, the whole body is made with plastic so looks as cheap as the price. This one did everything well, no complaint and I'm very satisfied considering of the money spend. Show details
Brilliant little machine for the money – Purchased a el cheapo microwave from Big W not expecting much. Yes it is a lower wattage at 700w but this little machine packs a punch for the price. The only reason I took off a star was because it only offers a 24 hour clock that is unchangeable. But I'll get used to it. Otherwise an excellent budget microwave for under $50. Show details
