Breville Quick Touch BMO634

Had this microwave for 8 years!!! – We bought this model microwave 8 years ago. It’s been moved at least 5 times with house moves and live most of its life in the hot tropics of Australia. It has never missed a beat. Best microwave we’ve (family of 4, daily use of at least 5 times a day) ever had!!! It died last night. Made a pop noise and then just doesn’t heat anymore. It is with heavy heart that I say - Goodbye my friend. Show details

Worst defective product ever – Bought a complete set of white Breville products for a house. This was including the microwave within 12 months paint interior was peeling and on the door, it's Rusty and vibrates loudly. We also have a toaster that lights up spontaneously but we now need to ensure it switched off at the PowerPoint as it seems dangerous and a kettle which was very… Read more

expensive that just boils continuously. I recommend everybody stay away from Breville products. This complete set was very expensive and would never ever buy another Breville product. The customer service is terrible for an Australian company.

Breville Does it Again! – Bought this from the Good Guys when it was on special, The knob feature is intuitive and very easy to use.It comes with many smart touch buttons to choose & quickly program for your daily usage. I have always had Breville products and never had any issues with them, and this is no exception!  Show details

I like this one – This one i bought this year feb. i think this one did a good job at my home. So i am ok with giving five star for this staff. But i think the price can be better anyway actually. Haha.so i will Hopefully it will be last one of mine.  Show details

Breville leading the way – The designers and engineers are doing a great job at Breville. I have purchased two of the previous model and was pleased with those however, this recent upgraded version is truly outstanding for features and cooking ability. Food is cooked more even, popcorn in the bag actually pops where the previous model many kernels did not. The panel just… Read more ·  5

inside the door hides more functions.

The cooking temperature can actually be adjusted during cooking rather than stopping and re-setting.

It melts chocolate and butter to perfection, heats baked beans without the mess of exploded beans and sauce inside the unit.

Has a kitchen timer and adjustable beep volume for those who are driven mad by the end of cooking tone.

The BM063 has many more features is easy to use, comes in several colours and is a huge improvement on the previous model including many other microwave ovens on the market. Easy to use and to adjust settings whilst cooking, not having to stop the cooking process

Dead – Gorgeous looking machine in white with steel handle, quick touch controls were great. Still have original box, great looking box! Light bulb died first 3 months, neither BIG W nor Breville could assist, BIG W version said to be not supported by Breville. Tried to take it back but don't sell that look anymore at BIG W, just cheaper looking… Read more

Breville product which is cheaper to buy anyway. Put up with it for the look which matched kitchen well.

Rotating glass plate scraped floor of microwave after 3-4 months, I padded that so it sat up higher and avoided scraping.

Microwave died completely last September, started firstly not cooking at max power then just died, it still looks beautiful, like a Miele really, sitting in my shed waiting for next tip trip.

Funny thing I love the look so much I'd buy the same product again, checked it out but they only seem to make the stainless steel version now...BMO735.

Pulled out my 1987 Panasonic genius again. Ugly as bat... but gee it still works well, including very original light bulb. Don't make 'em like they used to!

Not what I wanted – I have owned this microwave for a while now and it's not really the best one I have ever owned. I find that when cooking it tends to over heat everything yet some how the center is still cold. Over all the cooking quality is just average. As for the operation of it... Well that's quite easy but could be easier. I would also like to point out after a few months it has become increasingly louder and the turntable tends to jerk a bit  Show details

Terrible microwave, stay away! – I purchased the BM0634 microwave from Myer 12months and one week as it started to show signs of malfunction. The unit still worked but would stop midway through a cooking cycle and shut down. I reduced my cooking to warming cereal in the morning as 1min was all it could handle. After ringing Myer they told me that there was nothing they could do… Read more

as the warranty had expired. We kept using the unit in a reduced capacity until today when it blew the fuss and stopped for good.

I decided to ring Breville customer care (by this stage the unit is 18months old) and tried through them to get some resolution. I was told that Myer do not issue the warranty but Breville and that it was over 12months. The customer care service person accused me of lying and could not have been anymore rude.

Terrible experience and because of that I will not purchase another Breville product in the future.

Good microwave – I like this microwave, I have a lot of Breville products so it only seemed right to get a microwave to fit in This microwave works well, it reheats so what more do you need lol It has options that help make popcorn and defrost etc etc I recommend this  Show details

Meh – It was an okay size. It worked fine but did not last very long. My last microwave cost me $30 from kmart and lasted me five years. This one only lasted just over one year. Disappointing considering I spent the extra cash to get a fancier one. A lesson learned.  Show details

Waste of money – I also have one of these, only bought it because it was red. It heats food fine but it will wake the neighbors....... I work in hospitality and have seen dozens of brands both cheap and expensive. i would NEVER purchase a Breville again. I wish I had returned it within the 12 months. A piece of junk.  Show details

Roaring rustbucket – I bought the Cranberry one a few years ago, and paid too much just because I wanted a red one, and at the time there were no other red ones; plus it was a good-looking thing and what could go wrong with a simple microwave, right? Big mistake. It roars like a Fokker 50 prop taking off and in an 'open-plan' house, that's a very bad thing. I put… Read more

padding around the sides to dampen the vibrations, but it didn't make much difference. I also had the oft-cited problem of the timer dial jumping directly from 2 minutes to over 20 with just a gentle twist. But the last straw was the inside lining starting to rust off in chunks - never seen that before in a microwave. This is only my third one since they first appeared, but it hasn't lasted a quarter of the time of its (much cheaper) predecessors. As far as I can tell, it has heated things up OK, but I'm not what you'd call a demanding user - most of the buttons remain untouched on mine. Unfortunately, I can't find my receipt, so I'll just have to write it off as a loss and steer clear of these ones in future.

Kaput just after warranty expired – This seems to be a common theme with this microwave. It sounded like an aeroplane to begin with, then about a week after the 12 month warranty expired, it got quieter and quieter and then stopped working. I honestly do not expect to buy a microwave every year. The last, a Panasonic lasted for 7. Not good enough Breville.  Show details

Unreliable and not worth the money – This microwave looks great, was simple to use and I liked it but unfortunately it stopped heating when it was just over a year old and out of warranty. It's not worth the money for a years use and our next microwave will hopefully be a more reliable brand than Breville.  Show details

Magnetron failure – We love this microwave (especially the way the Cranberry model looks). Unfortunately it failed just after the (paltry) 1 year warranty was up. I took it to a authorised service centre and they got it work again. However, just a few days later it failed again. Took it back, fixed again. 1 hour after getting it home it failed yet again - apparently… Read more

the magnetron must be shorting. Too expensive to fix. Very unhappy with the quality of this appliance.

Paint inside peeled away – i bought this microwave as my wife loves red. i dont use much but the wife never complained, it seems to work alright but after like a year the inside paint is peeling away. I thought my kids put something in there to cause it but i am reading a lot of reviews with people that have had the same problem, i will be ringing up the company and… Read more

demanding a new one & i will not take no for an answer... these massive companies think we are a joke but they will see.....

My disappointment bubbles over like the bubbling cavity paint – I bought this supposedly 'superior' microwave 2 years ago. This is only my 3rd microwave in 34 years of marriage. It replaced the 2 Sharp Carousels that had served me well for about 15 years each. I like most of the functions the Breville offers, but I am aghast that the internal paint has blistered and begun peeling away. I have not changed my… Read more

microwave habits so cannot blame lack of cleaning or maintenance. I found the Breville Customer Care line to be most unhelpful. They did not have this model on their system as discontinue - so knew nothing. The operator said they were unable to offer any technical advice as to why this has occurred / is it safe to use with the metal exposed/ could I buy cavity paint. He could only direct me to a Breville repairer 1000km away (none in my Regional city). I phoned the repairer, as suggested , who was astounded that the internal paint had blistered in only 2 years. The repairer said this was something he had occasionally seen, but only in microwaves about 10 years old. Unfortunately he did not sell a safe internal paint. At least I now know not to buy another Breville product in this regional city..

The worst quality – The quality is really bad! When I bought it 2 years ago, it was the most expensive one among other brands, the sales told me it's the best one! But it's really not as what you would expected, it doesn't work suddenly without any clue! I would not purchase any stuff in this brand any more!

Very very dissapointed at this very low quality product – I bought this expensive microwave because I was informed that it was the best microwave in the market and will last long. For me quality is the most important thing and I did not care that it was the most expensive microwave in the store because I was told it will last years and years. After I bought it my family and I went away for few months on… Read more

holiday to our home country. I left the microwave in the storage place in the original package. We came back in May 2015 and then was when I started to use the microwave for the first time in May 15. From the beginning never work really well. Never heated thing properly but yesterday stopped working suddendly at all . Does not heat or do anything at all. I cannot believe this after the breville disclaimer saying that their products are top quality. Im very very disappointed and i will advise everyone I know to never buy brevilles products and I will never buy you products again. What a shame

Dual faulty units – Bought this Microwave (BM0634) in White from our local Good Guys (Ipswich, QLD) as I liked the look and functions of it. Unpacked it, and tested a few of the functions. was very happy with the outcome. However, when we tried the child lock function (one of the main reasons why we bought it), after the screen light had turned off it would… Read more

intermittently beep for no reason.

We called Breville, and was told it was a faulty unit and to return it to the purchase store.

We handed that one in and got another one. Took it home, hooked it up and the same thing with the child lock....beeps start again!!! We were told by Breville the first time it was a very rare fault.

So once again, called Breville and told them about the same problem with the replacement unit. Was told to return and get a replacement again! By this point I am getting annoyed, and asked what Breville was willing to do for me as I have spent both time and fuel stuffing around because of their faulty product. My reply was basically suck it up and get another one, or go buy another brand microwave.

Needless to say we are completely disappointed with this company.

Should I try a third? – Needed the Cranberry colour to match our other appliance's. First one made operating noise that could be heard outside the house, plus bad vibration. Replaced, now one cannot get accurate time adjustment. Example 5:10, jumps to 5:30 every time. Also sometime jumps to 8-9 minutes for no reason.

Loud and takes 10 minutes to microwave popcorn on highest setting! – Wish I had chosen another microwave, it is very slow and loud. From reading the other reviews I am now scared it won't last either. Would have been better off buying something cheaper but stupidly thought by paying more the quality would be better. I am wrong. The popcorn ends up half burnt and half unpopped. Only three months old, would trade for another model if I could.

What a waste of money – I bought this microwave and paid $330. yes that was 18 months ago but it has now stopped working. It will not heat. Very disappointed. Would have expected a lot longer use from it. Looks great..........

Dissappointed – After reviewing microwaves this was the one that seemed to tick all boxes, well was I wrong, I have only had this microwave 6 days and will be returning it tomorrow, it sounds like an aeroplane coming in to land when on, the turning plate gets excessively hot , condensation on the glass door is terrible, and the final straw was today when wiping… Read more

it down the black letters came off the large dial. I did so want to like this model as I really do love Breville products but with much dissappointment its going back ... Sorry Bing Lee.

By Far The Best Microwave Available – I have used quite a few different brand microwaves over the years and this is by far the best quality so far. The microwave looks very high end and goes well in a modern kitchen. All the new features really do make life much easier in the kitchen for anyone wanting to save time. I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a new microwave. You will not regret spending the extra money.

Great microwave but noticed the steam won't escape and now I have rust inside – I've just found out today, after 1 month and 11 days old, that I have rust inside the microwave. Noticed that when I use the microwave, inside the top part is all wet and water dropping down, this means the steam cannot escape and accumulates, should it have good ventilation? The unit is on the bench with nothing around or on top off it. Very disappointing as I do not wish water with rust to drop down on my food....

Amazing. Brilliant microwave – Quite simply, a brilliant microwave. Firstly, it looks great. Second, it has so many functions and setting to properly nuke anything you need. The pre-programmed buttons inside the door are so clever. LCD display is great. I did wish it went to sleep straight away rather than waiting 5 minutes after use and then beeping.

Worth every penny! – I love this microwave! Since bringing it home yesterday, I found it easy to set up and works like a charm. Heats evenly, is quiet and looks great on my bench. No problems with noise or hot panels at all. Breville has a winner here.

Uber stylish, smart and intuitive – Uber stylish, very intuitive and oh so simple to use, this microwave takes the thinking out of Defrosting, Reheating and Cooking. The Breville Quick Touch Microwave comes with a large side shortcuts panel that will help you quickly and easily with a quick touch of a button and the turn of a knob; cook, reheat or defrost your meals. The Microwave… Read more ·  1

offers a Quick Cook, Quick Reheat and Quick Defrost button that you can select. Inside the door there is another panel of buttons called the Sensor IQ. You have Sensor IQ Cook, Reheat and Defrost and these buttons automatically measure the humidity released from the food to determine the correct cooking time. It starts cooking/reheating or defrosting the food at the correct temperature and then around 45-30 seconds the time left will come on to let you know that your food is almost ready.

The LCD panel is easy to read and the Microwave is always ready to go for 30 seconds; all you need to do is add your food, close the door and push start. Push it again to add another 30 seconds. The microwave is super quick and easy to use and the buttons and dials are easy to work with, yet the quality of the product and fixtures helps to reassure me that it is a long lasting product. Sensor IQ cooking, ability to adjust the power output easily and to understand what power it should be at for which cooking function.

Expectation lowered – Researched this microwave before I purchased it. Read all these reviews and I've not had an issue with over heating and the noise is at an acceptable level. HOWEVER I put a frozen meal the the microwave at the recommended smart feature of the microwave. It goes for about 20 minutes and is still frozen! I then have to keep fiddling with the cook… Read more

feature and end up with dry over cooked food that I could of just reheated in the over or stove and have it take the same time.

Is anyone's else having these problems? Cooking is fine and works good just defrost and reheating are very disappointing. easy to use doesn't defrost my food!

Best microwave!! Can't live without it!! – Wanted to replace our convection microwave but no specials around... Settled for this though if was sceptical initially due to reviews. Turned out to be best microwave even though we only really use this for reheating and cooking frozen veggies etc... It wasn't quiet but no louser than any other microwave I ever had.... And hey, one only uses it… Read more ·  2

for minutes at a time!! However, I generally use this for three meals a day!! The dials are the best even invention.... Very intuitive with tens of buttons in my previous microwave which we never used.... So far everything cooks and heats up perfectly without any splatter!!! I love this microwave! Nothing so far....

Very pleased with this product so far – I wanted to take advantage of the $200 price tag on this product at Big W, but was deterred for a while by some of the negative reviews on this site, particularly the reported noise and overheating. In the end I purchased online from Harvey Norman and have had the product for only a couple of weeks. So far my family and I are delighted with the… Read more ·  3

unit. While the Breville is marginally noisier than our previous microwave (LG), it doesn't intrude at all even though our living area adjoins the kitchen. We haven't experienced any overheating so far, but we don't cook whole dinners in our microwave ovens. It usually gets short bursts of a few minutes. So far I think we haven't run this unit for more than 20 minutes continuously.

Since I purchased at half price, I didn't bother extending the warranty. We'll give it a good workout over the 12 months 'replacement' warranty period. Solid construction and well finished, great appearance and functionality, 'replacement' warranty rather than 'repair' warranty (as for most brands). Nothing so far.

Impressive features but issues with reliability – Great features, and intuitive interface. Especially like the favourite & programmable short cut buttons. However the unit failed to heat anything after it was around 30 days old. The turntable spins but the magnetron appears to have failed. If purchasing this unit I would recommend getting an extended warranty to be safe. Design, user interface. Realibity

Love the colours and the functions. The price, not so much – I purchased this microwave firstly because of the door. I got sick of microwaves that would work great but the door open button not work. But soon fell in love with all the features. We cook and defrost in the microwave everyday. Cooking rice, pasta, steaming vegetables, defrosting bread amd reheating left overs are done daily in my house. So it… Read more ·  1

gets a massive amount of use. It's teenage and husband proof. I haven't set favourites yet as everything we do is easy to do. The size. Fits all my big containers. Large family mean cooking large meals. Can not read the clock. Why have one if you can only see it for a few minutes after use.

Disappointed :( – This microwave is highly recommended everywhere! Choice, here and every sales person we came across. So this was definitely the one we wanted, no question! We played with the display model in store and was happy with the sound and dials etc, so away we went with our brand new one.... Yay! We got home and plugged it in, placed a cup of water inside… Read more

and turned it on........Oh my gosh! The noise was soo loud!! It did not sound like the one in store at all! We decided something was wrong and took it back the next day. We exchanged for another new one, no problem! We got the new one home and guess what, it had the same sound. This was just the start, not only did it have this loud noisy humming sound that is almost unbearable we noticed that it got really really hot on the top right side.

So hot that it would burn your hand if you were to keep it on there! So... We contacted breville and they agree that it gets hot but this is normal for this model?! I'm not sure how they think it's o.K for an electrical appliance to get soo hot? Surely this is a safety concern? However we kept it for a week until it decided to over heat soo much that it powered itself completely off! I have contacted breville on 3 separate occasions and they still assure me that the hot surface on top is normal? Finally, the turntable stopped working, all of this within 2 weeks. I really really wanted to like this microwave however, i couldn't live with an appliance that cooked itself! So we regretfully returned the microwave and chose another brand to my dislike. Liked the turn dial. Being able to change times during cooking. Sensor cooking. It got way too hot on the top right side! Very very noisy. Turntable stopped working.
