    I have got a silver one - bought online so can`t help with viewing sorry. One thing to be aware of is that the floor inside the microwave is quite high and this means some things don`t fit inside. I have a few microwave pans that I can no longer use because they are too high - e.g. a m/w pressure cooker and a pan with a draining lid. If you tend to cook things that are quite flat like ready meals or food in shallow dishes this won`t be an issue for you.

    ETA - this is where I bought mine. I think I paid a bit less than this but it was a while ago...

    thank you slinky for replying
    i have found them in comet but only on line so i rang them to see if they had any in the shops to view they said they do do a price match but would not match it with b&q price

    its only for jacket potatoes scrambled eggs and warming its just that i want a change of colour to match other items and this is smaller than mine because its supposed to fit neater into the corner
    can i ask is the steam fuction useful as i may use that

    thanks again

    I didn`t buy the steam one, I got the one with a grill and tbh I have not used the grill function. I keep forgetting about it as I have never had a microwave with a grill before. It sounds like it will be fine for the food you cook and it is nice and neat on the worktop - looks a bit like a portable TV. One thing that is a bit annoying - when you set it to cook you have to open and close the door before it will start. I have never had that with any other microwave and find it a bit odd but you soon get into the habit of doing it.

    ETA - sorry just checked my model is the M28. Looks the same outside though.
