Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
Whirlpool, the world's number 1 appliance manufacturer, launches its unique Compact Max "Fitness" range of Microwave ovens with Amazon. The Max has a revolutionary space saving rounded back to allow it to slot onto any kitchen surface and even small corners. However, despite the smaller foot print, its 28 cm turntable is the same size as much larger conventional shaped microwave ovens.
Colour is big news this year with the shops full of accessories and appliances in a rainbow of shades. Right on trend, Whirlpool's Max Fitness range is available in 6 colours to match other fashionable counter top products.
Steaming is one of the oldest cooking methods and is making a real comeback with the trend for healthy eating - steam retains more nutrients and vitamins and the food looks and tastes better. Max Fitness maximises this cooking method with the addition of a special steam container that holds the food and a control system designed to take away the guess work and steam 4 different food types automatically at the touch of a button.
All the microwaves in the range have a 'Jet defrost' function which is up to seven times faster than conventional microwaves, to help you prepare delicious and healthy food in record time.
Capacity: 13 Litre Equivalent to a 20 litre standard microwave
Maximum Microwave Power Level: 750 Watts 7 Microwave Power Levels
Turntable Diameter: 28cm
Door Type: Side swing
Clock: 24 hr
Interior Cavity Light: Yes
Control System: Electronic
Timer: Electronic
Voltage: 230
Maximum Power: 1.3kW

Our last microwave was a cheapo one that lasted about one year. We did without one for a while, however I started getting fed up of my cups of tea going cold and that's the main reason for us having the microwave oven! We also use it a lot for reheating food that has been made in bulk, and we use the steamer provided to steam veg. Broccoli is even quite tasty using the steam function although don't expect children to eat it!
I love the look of the oven. My opinion is if we're having something on display on the worktops it should be attractive. The curved back and compact size makes it fit easily into a corner and the colour is just yummy.
There is a child-proof function whereby the start button will not work unless the door has been opened first to put food in - very handy.
I find it very easy to figure out. You can just plonk your food inside, shut the door, and press the jetstart button to set it off on full power. Keep pressing the jetstart button to increase the time intervals gradually, starting with 30 seconds. I never bother setting the clock as we unplug it a lot and have other kitchen timers anyway.
It may cost more than other ovens but I'm hoping it will last a while, I've yet to find out. I can't think of any negatives about it because we only use it for the reasons stated above. It suits our needs perfectly.
------
TWO YEARS ON...
Update: still going strong, almost 2 years on. The labels above each button are slowly disappearing but there are no problems at all otherwise. I recommend it to everyone.
When the microwave stops cooking and beeps it continues spinning as though it's still cooking. This worried my mum when she used it but it's supposed to happen.
AND my son, aged 4, eats all his broccoli!!

We have just moved into a new house and wanted a new microwave but didn't want to spend a lot of money - until we saw this one!
Money well spent as far as I'm concerned. Looks amazing and everybody comments on how lovely it looks, doesn't use up a great deal of space and very easy to use.
10 out of 10 for design and performance!

Very pleased I chose this. Looks even better than in the pictures. Fits beautifully into the corner so uses normally unused space and doesn't take over the work area. Simple to use. Not cheap but well worth the money.
Updated 19th Jan 2009. Microwave has now stopped working at less than a month old. Not sure if just unlucky or whether I was a bit hasty with my praise. Amazon can't replace at present as not available.
