Lowry LMM1725 Solo Manual Microwave, 17 liters, White

Bought this for my sis in law who had just had a new baby last December, the first one broke in a month which was less than ideal, but Amazon were good at sending the replacement an dthe next one lasted much longer

This is a nice looking microwave and it does what it says. It isn't as good as my other microwave, which I had for several years, but for the price I paid I cant complain.

When my old manual microwave broke, I did my research and was initially very pleased to have found this Lowry manual microwave to replace it. It was important to me that the interior space should be similar to my old one and not smaller, which is why I chose this model, as it had an even slightly bigger interior capacity (measured in litres). Unfortunately, the exact dimensions of the interior space were not available on Amazon.Imagine my disappointment when the microwave arrived and I placed a normal dining plate in it and covered it with my standard size, 28 cm diameter microwave hood: the hood got stuck between door and back of the machine!!!It turns out that although it has slightly more litres than my old microwave, the interior space is rectangular, rather than more square, meaning the distance between door and back wall is smaller than in my old machine. It also means that there is some wasted space to the right and left of the turntable.I cannot use my hood and have been trying to buy a new one, only to find that locally the only size available is the standard 28 cm diameter, and I need a maximum of 25 cm. Not impressed.The second issue I have with the microwave, is that it comes with an extra page (apart from the manual), warning you never to use it to heat a wheat bag (a hot water bottle substitute). This is one of my main uses for my microwave in winter and I feel they should have mentioned that in the Amazon description.Apart from that, it bothers me that closing the door is only possible with a very loud "bang", no matter how you try to ease the door shut. I live in a flat and my downstairs neighbour is very noise sensitive, so I always feel bad using it late in the evening.Otherwise it does what a microwave is supposed to do. Overall, I'm not impressed, hence the 2 stars only.

Wasn't expecting much from such a basic mi4cowave but had gotten tired of all the over fiddly ones out there.precise and straight to the point. does the job..It does crackle a lot when the food is warming up and that alarmed me at first.been using for over a week now and I just turn only one dial and that's it...no fuss...no frills..just does the job...

I had to replace my microwave, & I chose the LOWRY 700W Microwave, as it's basic & very straight forward to use, & being a disabled user, I can fully recommend this microwave for able bodied & disabled people, & for those with a small kitchen this microwave will fit fine!!.

This only lasted 2 years and then too rusty inside to safely use. This was despite me looking after it, I.e. leaving door open after use for a few minutes and keeping it clean. Avoid.

Simple to operate, ideal for non tech people. All the controls that you would need. No frills great price...

Microwave is very atractive more so than my old one which I had for fourteen years.....and so quiet.....and a good price PERFECT
