No good – Replaced our Anko 28L microwave which was rusting away inside (just under 2 years old) with another Anko 28L. After just 6 days the light no longer works. Should have learnt my lesson the first time. Will be getting a refund and buying a name brand elsewhere.

Dodgy Anko Microwave made to last one minute – Feeling very angry with this purchase. Bought an Anko microwave (black), as others on here are mentioning, delivered, from K-mart. This was after only 2 years use of my previous K-mart microwave needing to be replaced because of paint peeling inside and rust inside at the joins. Always cleaned as per specifications. Never had issues before these… Read more

two purchases from K-mart. Can't believe this new unit has no light working after less than 3 months of use. Seems like another dodgy product made cheaply. A disgrace. Buyer beware. I will never buy Anko anything again, nor shop at K-mart.

Got mine Kmart Bundaberg 3 years ago and still perfect. I lost the book and can’t find a manual online to set the clock – I have used many microwaves as a Batchelor and this one cooks my chicken perfectly, my vegetables sweet and crispy, reheats my meals like a 5 star restaurant would, to perfection Show details ·  2

Can't say anything bad about it – Had this microwave for over a year now and we are happy with it. We don't use microwave as the main cooking device or anything and don't really feel the need to use any of the other features besides just basic heating, but for what we have been needing it it has worked absolutely fine. I also think that this microwave looks nice and is easy to… Read more

clean - ours looks still like new. My sister recently bought the same one and her household gives thumbs up too!

Paint is coming off under turntable – I bought this microwave just under two years ago and I was really happy with it. First microwave that I could defrost meat and it not start to cook. Now all of a sudden the bottom is all rusted and paint has come off. There appears to be nothing else wrong with the microwave but I am not sure if I should be using it anymore. Show details

Total Dud – We bought it today. Plugged it in, and zero. No heating even on 100% power (P10). Now we have to take it back tomorrow. What a waste of time. Show details

Worked OK but died to quickly – Before the microwave broke, it was working great (i.e., easy enough to use, good heating performance, low cost so very cost effective) However, very disappointed to see it break after approximately 16 months from purchase. It is used a lot (around 1 or 2x a day). However, did not expect such a short life. I would normally ask for a refund but it's past 1 year warranty and could no longer find the receipt. Show details

Lasted for 18 Month's – I only use this microwave for defrosting or reheating, it does the job to my satisfaction. I like the defrost by weight, as this doesn't waste electricity or time. After 18 month's where the plate runs around, it has lifted all of the plastic. I like the simplicity of it, it just doesn't last the distance. Show details

Kmart junk microwave – I have only had this microwave oven (bought from Kmart Ballarat) for 8 months. The electronics are already stuffed. The clock often runs without the microwave working. It often changes the timer down to 32 seconds for no reason, also it beeps to let you know it has finished when the microwave is still running. Do not buy this product!!!! Thanks for nothing kmart!

Been perfect so far – I got this microwave back in February. Has been working without fault so far. However this microwave isn't similar to previous KMart microwaves I bought in terms of the little tips and tricks. For example, I cannot just press the 2 button to activate the microwave on full power for two minutes. Also avoid pressing the start button using your nail because it will scratch the buttons panel, but otherwise going well. Show details

Good fit four our house – Great small space microwave. does all the usual functions but we r Loving the 30sec option, not luvvin’ the “pulse” action when a stew requires 20mins..., better to fit put it in multiple 4 minute cycles so it’s full power during cooking. Not having door handle makes it less likely to come loose. Poor venting means a wipe out under the tray EVERY use to stop Rusting. Show details

Very disappointed – The old saying you get what you pay for certainly rings true. This $50 microwave is a condensation box. So much that the whole microwave is rusted. Constantly have to wipe under the plate otherwise its just heats that water and not your meal. Sure its cheap but you would expect to at least work somewhat.  Show details

Great – This is a great microwave. For the size and price you cannot go wrong. The microwave heats well,, defrosts and all functions work great. The settings/programmin features are super easy to use and mostly dont require the instructions to work it out out, however when needed they are easy to follow. A great thing I love about it is the size and… Read more

convenience of being able to place large plates in, also being able to put the exact weight of food requiring defrosting whereas other brands weve had have only been able to enter to the closest 100g. Great buy! Great size, great price!

Still going strong - works great – We use this daily (at least) and it runs great. Its completely part of the kitchen now and I am used to all its quirks and cooking times.Its pretty fast. I usually put 350ml of milk in for our coffees every morning and that takes 2 minutes 15 seconds to be perfect to my taste. I defrost food in it a lot and reheat too (more than fully cook). No worries at all with this despite being Kmarts own brand.  Show details

Quality at an unbeatable price – This microwave works very well. I did a lot of research, and decided on giving Kmart Home & Co. a go. Why pay more, when you can get the same if not better for less - a lot less. Only cost me $75! Solid, warms up food very well and quickly and evenly. I decided on the larger model as we have a large family. It is modern looking (white) with… Read more

digital buttons. Instructions were well explained and easy to use. I would recommend this microwave to anyone.

Good medium size works well – Kmart do a whole range of these microwaves. I was set to but the $48 one but when I saw how small it was in real life, I went up in size to this one. I am happy with the performance, it works well and makes good sense with the lay out and I can fit a proper sized plate into it ( you can't with the 20 litre one) It's good!  Show details

Cheap reliable machine – I have been using it almost everyday for around three years. it was much cheaper than most brands microwave oven and I was worried it might not last long, but it works just fine, it’s easy to use and very reliable. Totally worth the money. No need to buy big brands microwave oven at all.  Show details

Good basic microwave – This is a cheap and cheerful Kmart microwave - despite the rather utilitarian design and my reservations about buying a Kmart electrical product, its worked out very well. Its simple to use and surprisingly well made. Cooks and reheats well and not noisy when running, Perhaps they are all made in the same factories anyway? Works well and I am happy with it.  Show details

Larger Model from Kmart – This is the larger one of the Kmart range. I checked out the others - there's a really cheap one for $48 but its absolutely tiny! This one is a good size for a family and still very good value. Menus are very clear and simple and it looks good too. The most important thing - it cooks beautifully. Absolutely no need to get the big names when this one is so good. Definitely recommend  Show details

Perfect with budget – Good for price. when you close the door, IT IS noisy. but except that, I am very much satisfied with. Cheap, no need to worry about its malfunction. Cause you can get a new one easily. But I don't think it would be gone easily. So far, it works really well. Been almost 7 months. September 14th 2018 Update: Perfect for budget!! I've been… Read more

using more than 6 months and it works really well!! It is easy to use as well. No difficulties to daily use. Perfect except it makes some noise when you close the door. I found that there is no way to reduce that bumping noise. As long as you are not sensitive to noise, this is more than a perfect product with such a cheap price. Recommend!!!

Does the job – Great microwave who does the job like any other microwave. It is on the smaller side but a normal plate just fits the opening. If you have big plates you probably need a bigger microwave. It's not that strong in power (max 800kwh I think) so certain things take longer to cook. But for the price you get a really good microwave  Show details

Good for price – I have this microwave from last 2 years and its working well. It is easy to use and long lasting with no issues. The quick 30-second button is so handy. The other feature that l like is the weight and time option with defrosting button. It is a great machine in a reasonable price.  Show details

does the job – Purchased the microwave 28l from kmart.Lets be honest all we use microwaves for is defrosting and reheating food.It does this more than adequately.It has a quick 30 second button which is more than handy when cooking cheese on toast.The defrosting buttons have a weight option and a time option.Does the job at a very reasinable price.  Show details

Good Basic Microwave – This is the slightly larger one from kmart - we chose it because it fits full sized plates and is overall a larger machine. It is just Kmart brand (Homemaker) but it performs the same as any other microwave I have had. The display is nice and clear, the construction is solid and I cant think of anything that different from the fancy brands with their high price tags. It does everything it should and works well.  Show details

Very Decent Microwave For The Price – We are happy with this microwave. Its a decent size and works extremely well. The menus are logical and well laid out and its a good enough size to take regular plates. Cooking times are quick and defrosting works well too. It looks smart in the kitchen and apart from the label we can see no difference to the big brands,  Show details

Pretty good – Good microwave, cooks things well. The buttons are a bit hard to use and I’m not sure how to program in the right time I want it for yet. It jsut puts in groups of one minute when buttons are pushed but great apart from that. Good size and fits dinner plates well  Show details

Smart Looking Works Well – This works perfectly well and looks good in the kitchen. It does an excellent job. I mostly use it for dethawing meat from the freezer or warming up drinks. It does both things very well and without fuss. The menus make sense, the inside is a little smaller than some but it suits us just fine. If you want a basic microwave that works reliably, and its very easy to use, this one suits well.  Show details

Cheapy but a goody – Absolutely love this microwave. Was used in a takeaway business for 2 years and is now our everyday microwave. Lots of different functions. Very simple to use. Never missed a beat. Terrific value for money and has a lovely black and silver design. Can't fault it. Will definitely purchase another one in the future.  Show details

Small but ok – You basically get wat u pay for when purchasing this small capacity cheep microwave. Dont expect to fit a large plate inside or heat up anything in an instant. In saying that, it does exactly what it advertised it would do . I have only used once so cant comment on durability  Show details
