whirlpool max 35 Microwave

Has anyone got one of these? This weekend I have been the Grim Reaper of Microwaves killing TWO of the things in a day.

I've seen the Max 35 and fallen in love but does anyone have any experience of them? I've read a few online reviews which all seem ok but how have you found the steam functions etc?

Thanks

Yes and I bloody love it! The fact you can use the surface in front of it because the door opens higher is genius. The defrost is about the best I've had on any microwave, it's beautifully compact and it looks so cool!
I'd have another tomorrow if mine died.

Brilliant :-)

How's the lining inside?

It doesn't have a grill does it?

Do you use the steamer function?

I've read it has a fast start where it goes up in 30 second increments at the touch of a button?

Lining is excellent. It curves around the back so makes it much easier to wipe clean.

It doesn't have a grill but that's not something I miss particularly.

I use the steamer function quite a lot. It can cook potatoes in about 8 minutes which is great for a meal for one. Also great for zapping veg from the freezer and giving it a bit more taste.

There is a fast start yes, just keep pressing and it goes up by 30 seconds at a time or you can set one favourite so if you say cook beans a lot for 2 minutes in 600watts you can press one button for that as a favourite.

I had the purple one because it was the cheapest. Bought myself a few purple tea towels and it still fits in well in my mostly silver kitchen.

Really do love it and most visitors comment in it as well. My kitchen is small and it's given me back a lot of surface space I didn't have with my old machine.
