[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Breville Smooth Wave is simple to operate. The buttons for all the various settings are intuitive, the dial is easy to use, including timer extension. The Door is soft closing, meaning it doesnt make a noise in the middle of the night - can your even able to silent the bell! - something i have never done on a microwave before. The silver finish fits in with the kitchen and simple features such as butter melting makes sure you have no more butter explosions and clean up that i have had to do in previous microwaves. The soften/melt features are great and simple to use - with butter, chocolate for all your favourite baking goods.
