What our survey respondents say about Breville microwaves
Canstar Blue’s most recent microwave satisfaction survey sought the opinions of 745 New Zealanders; some of the comments from owners of Breville microwaves were as follows:
| The microwave is everything that you need for a family microwave. It looks good and has very useful functions. | It beeps five times when it finishes. |
| Fits well with the rest of furniture, easy to use, easy to clean. | Buttons were very confusing to begin with. |
| Have many products from them, all work extremely well. | Reheat seems to take a long time. To be fair I still have to read the instructions, the microwave is a recent purchase. |
| It looks good, relatively easy to use, great smart defrost feature, great child lock. | Only problem is that it is noisy. |
| I find it very easy to use and to clean which is most important. | This model was to low power and not digital. Not Breville’s fault just a bad purchase choice. |
