Surprisingly effective – I had limited expectations at this cheap price point and only really intended this as a fill in microwave but two and a half years later its still going strong and gets used daily. Its nicely finished and has good simple buttons. Cooking times seem no different to any other I have had over the years. Looks good too! Just give it a wipe out from time to time and that's it Show details
Cheap and chearful but small – This is a tiny microwave - let me say that right off the bat. Its fine for us because its just the two of us. Cooking times are normal the only negative is that you can only use small plates in it but that's OK. It's quite solidly made and very cheap to buy. Show details
Good little microwave – I use this mostly to reheat dinners and cold coffees - I never cook per se in it although I have defrosted meat in it a few times. I find that it works very smoothly and causes no concern. I checked the label and its certified as safe for use in Australia and seems well enough built despite the very low price,. Show details

What price is a customer worth? – After getting intended purchases to sales counter which in fact totalled approximately $82. Having paid the sales person I requested that I be given a bag to carry them in the answer was that will be another 15 cents. My reply was please reverse sale and put goods back on shelf. With a grunt a bag was produced and goods packed the sales person was… Read more
only doing what they were told to do, but hey they whinge about people not buying in store and buying on line from the likes of EBay, Amazon or Bangood their attitude does nothing customers to shop in their stores.
OK Little Cheaply made – This microwave is alright. Its definitely made down to a price, not up to a quality standard but it works as intended and has Australian safety pass maks on it. Its a little pasticky and smaller in size than normal family microwave but its also only $60. The menu is basic but adequate. Nothing deluxe about this but it works just fine Show details
Easy To Use Simple Microwave – What do you get for $60 dollars in microwaves? More than you would expect! This is actually quite a decent machine despite its cheap price tag. I have used it jus the same as I would any other and been pleasantly surprised at the simplicity and ability to cook well. It's a little on the smaller side but it works just fine Show details

For everyone asking how to set time. Click clock pad. Set time (12hr clock) click clock pad again. Done – Manual has typo regarding to time setting. It tells you to click cancel after clicking clock. Don't do that. The microwave is decent for the price and served it's purpose.
Great Value – This microwave is so small but it’s okay if you are living by yourself. The size of it can also save up some space of your kitchen. It heats food fast and evenly. Would definitely recommend it. Show details
Cheap and works great – Works great out of the box. I use this good little microwave everyday and never skips a heartbeat. Target also provides good after sales customer service which is a bonus. Show details
Simple reliable but basic features – This is a real bargain price wise but you need to realize it is very small and cant fit a dinner plate inside. It is basic and has very simple menus but it does work well and cooks evenly but a little slowly. it's only $60 and its well worth it but you need to be realistic, its no $300 Panasonic Show details
Good for a basic unit – There is nothing deluxe about this microwave - its a bit smaller than normal and has a basic layout BUT it works very well and is superb value for money. I can't tell the difference with this and other famous brand one I have had in the past other than the size. Its a go-er Show details
Great price and works well – Food can loose original texture just as it would with most microwaves, the programming features and controls are well thought out and easy to use. Heats food evenly. I think it would look better in silver instead of white, so a different range of colours would have been nice to have Show details
Good basic model – I use this to sterilize bottles and to reheat dinners mostly. I don't really cook in it so my review reflects those uses. I find this extremely simple and reliable. Nothing complex about the menus (didn't even need to read the manual) Its a bit smaller than average but it was cheap and works very well indeed.Cheap and cheerful and definitely worth the price Show details

Cooks better than expected – I had limited expectations based on (1) its a no-namer from target (2) extremely cheap price of $59 (3) plastic fantastic looking body. Well I have come to rely on this little machine. Its a bit smaller than average size wise but I now think its great. It cooks perfectly well for irs size, passes Australian safety standards and I literally have no complaints about it. When we got it I expected it to be junk. Its not! Its good! Show details
Great little microwave – This is a little smaller than the average microwave size, but not by much. It's not really branded so who knows where it's from (probably China) but it works great. I have reheated that many dinners in it and it always works a treat. It was cheap to buy (under $60) and has surprised me as to how much you DO get for that price. Good unit, easy to operate. Show details
Compact size - good performance – This has proven to be an excellent purchase. It was only $59 but its already earned its stripes. We use it nearly every day and it does a decent job. It's only 700w so it takes a little longer to cook larger things but I only ever use it to reheat dinners or de-thaw frozen food, not actually cook. Always does the job and actually looks pretty reasonable to for a cheap appliance - just be aware it's a little smaller than most others. Show details
Good value microwave - works nicely – TIts kind of amazing that a $59 microwave works this well! Perhaps they really ARE all made in the same factory after all! Jokes aside, this performs very well indeed and I am pleased with it. It has decent cooking power and the menu suggestions with defrosting seem pretty much bang on. It even looks quite nice which is a bonus. It works well, passes Australian safety standards and has a decent guarantee too - good deal! Show details
Cheapie but a goodie – This was only $59 which is excellent value for a microwave. I initially felt a bit strange buying a 'home brand' type machine but I think Target would be careful and only sell fully tested and approved products (I hope) and I must say it's quite sturdy. The menus are very simple but make excellent sense and it cooks well. It well and truly has been excellent so far and I can recommend it to others - its good. Show details
Happy Camper – This microwave gets loads of use in our caravan on our many road trips. It is a good size and has consistently worked well without ever failing. I suppose all microwaves of the same wattage heat up at the same rate but it seems quick. It is easy to use. Show details
Good No Frills Microwave – I wasn't sure what a n in house branded microwave from Target would be like but its good! It is a simple and basic design that just gets the job done, no mucking around. It has easy to use menus that are well laid out and it cooks well. Maybe not the fastest ever but it gets there. Its physically a little smaller so not every plate fits inside but its cheap as anything and works well. Show details
Value for money Microwave – Amazing price ! does the job well. Compact yet big enough to manage everyday use. Very user friendly settings and has several menu options. Mostly using to re-heat food. works well for defrosting too. Looks well built for the price paid. Microwave does sound a bit loud, but I guess all sound same in this price range. Will recommend. Show details
Well Made Good Value Microwave – I didn't even realise Target sold microwave and was seriously amazed at the price. It was cheap enough that we just bought it on a whim. It works very well indeed. It has nice clear menus and cooking times seem quite quick to me. I mostly do defrosting with it and the occasional reheated meal. I would purchase the same model again if required. Show details

Gets Used Daily – Three boys means three hungry mouths and this baby gets a constant work out at our place. Its solidly constructed. I know because our three little champs would have definitely broken it by now if it wasn't. Menus are simple to use and cooking time all seem normal, This is a good machine for a no-namer and good value too Show details
Handy Microwave Good Value – This is way better than I expect for the very cheap price. I was expecting it to be flawed in some way but nope, acts just the same of every other microwave I have owned. Good menus, good build quality and it passes Australian safety standards so apart from the low price there is no difference I can see. It possibly is a little slower to cook larger item but I rarely ever do so it makes no difference to me. Show details
Good Microwave Good price – Amazing microwave for the price. I was a bit reluctant at first as it is Targets own brand but it does a fine job just the same as my Russell Hobbs one that it replaces. I mostly use it to defrost meat or reheat leftovers and it performs admirably and has good sensible menus. It may not be the nest looking microwave ever made but it works just fine. Show details
Does everything I need, and well – I needed a new microwave and only wanted a small compact one for defrosting and reheating. This is small, compact and so far has done everything I wanted. It is easy to use and has more than enough power for my needs. I am very happy with it and best of all its very reasonably priced. Show details
Good microwave. Great price – It's amazing that kitchen appliances are so well priced nowadays. It really helps families out. We don't really cook in the microwave, just defrost and reheat food. It's not pretty but it is a work horse and does the job well. No issues thus far. Fingers crossed it stays that way. Show details
Simple Microwave Does The Job – This is a simple design and the price reflects that. I like simple goods, there are less things to go wrong and like most Target good the quality is fine. It is not the most powerful machine however and you might need more cooking time if you are used to a better brand. I mostly use it to reheat dinners and heat up cold coffees and for this it… Read more
is perfect!
If I had to complain about something I would change the beeper because that is very annoying but apart from that this is a simple microwave that works just fine.
It makes cold things hot – Cheap, fairly well built, powerful for its pice, fairly roomy inside and easy to clean. expect for that panel up on the right hand side.. that is a pain in the *** to clean! My one major gripe would be that the glass turn table in my unit is slightly off centre, the perfectionist in me likes things to spin evenly in the microwave though it really has no effect on how the machine works. Show details
Takes longer than normal to reheat – Good small cheap micro wave. However, takes some time before starting up like 3 to 5 secs wait time and then it starts after you set the timer and start it. Good for reheating food in small quantities and takes longer than normal to properly heat up the food in it. Show details
Okay cheap microwave – Are you satisfied with the cooking results of your microwave? Yes, it cooks food thoroughly Are the settings and features easy to use and understand? Yes, although there are not a lot of features How loud is this microwave? Very loud, although as expected for a cheap microwave Does your microwave seem sturdy and well-built? Seems cheap, and light Show details
Good, Cheap Microwave – Great, cheap microwave. Just quite difficult to set-up time and various cooking setting on the number pad. Can be quite loud, but cooks well for a cheap buy from Target. Small and efficient, I would definitely recommend this microwave for basic household use for a small household consisting of 1 or 2 people. Show details
Good price, okay microwave – It heats the food just fine. The settings are not the greatest, you need to enter the cooking time, and cannot just press start to cook for 30 seconds like most other microwaves. This means you need to press 4 buttons just to have it cooks for 30 seconds. The noise is about average, but the door closure is quite loud, and sounds a little cheap, it… Read more
doesn't seem very sturdy. But over all, for the price it is actually not too bad. I would buy it again.
Good basic microwave – I was worried this microwave would be too small as it is compact however it has accommodated everything I've needed to put in it including my bottle sterilizer so I'm happy. It works well, I don't have any problems with it, and it was cheap! It does work a little slower than more expensive brands but it's not really an issue.If you don't get your food out when it's done it keeps beeping at you to remind you which I find annoying. Show details
Works reliably but not the best – This microwave has served me and my partner well so far. This microwave is more suitable for those just starting out than a family because the defrosting setting is quite poor at defrosting meats without cooking them. Having to press ‘time’ before entering a cook time is also quite annoying and not a requirement of most other microwaves. Nonetheless, it is reliable, not too loud and does what you want of a basic microwave. Show details
