Swan SM22030LN Retro Digital Microwave, 800 W, Lime Green

I purchased this product at Christmas 2014 - I love the style of it and the colour - it fits well into my kitchen - the design is compact and stylish, however I do find that the controls are a little complicated to figure out and tend to just "do my own thing" if I'm honest. Also another little niggle is that when you use it I find that it tends to fill with fluid at the bottom - ie the steam doesn't seem to escape properly - so you end up with a puddle in the turntable well every time you use it - but this is a minor problem as over all it is a good efficient microwave and well priced. Also I have dexterity problem (I have arthritis) and I find the pull handle really easy to use and the knobs are very easy to use much easier than a push button control. All in all - despite the niggles - I would highly recommend this Microwave to anyone.

Great product - we buy Swan products all the time as they are made in UK and love the retro design. They are a little bit more expensive than other brands but they are very well made and look great in the kitchen, we'd prefer to pay slightly more to get something better and more stylish than other brands on the market. The colour is great too and fits in well with the decor. We had trouble choosing the colour as there were so many lovely shades but chose pastel Blue which fits in perfectly. Very easy to use - didn't need to refer to the instruction manual but the manual is also very clear too if you do need it.

I absolutely love the colour and the whole cute round edged retro design of this microwave. It fits in well with my brightly coloured mis-matched appliances. I was put off by the 1 star reviews which said it rusts but I have had this microwave for 6 months now and there's no sign of rust at all. I use it a lot but I do wipe it down and leave the door open to vent after use to prevent condensation. I have a small kitchen so needed a small microwave which this is - it fits a 25cm (10") plate no problem but if using a 28cm (11") plate, they will fit but you have to tilt it slightly to get through the narrower front (see photos). There's no 30 second quick press button but you don't need one as you just turn the dial for the required length of time then press start - so easy to use. It does have lots of features but I haven't needed to use them. I don't find food cooks well if I use High (which is supposed to be for quick cooking) so I normally just use M. High (normal cooking) which works fine. Recommended!

We bought this in a sale for £60ish, and for that price we are very happy with our purchase. It looks stylish and works perfectly with our kitchen. Assembly was simply, amazing pug and play really, and with a quick wipe down, you are good to go. Appreciating its only a 800w microwave, I have to say I notice this when using, always have to put in for a little longer that recommended cooking instruction so would say it’s not that powerful. It works for us, we have patience, and for the money, we are extremely happy with our purchase at this price. I wouldn’t recommend if was priced much higher because you can get a 1,000w for not much more. Good brand, good purchase and so far so good .z

Fantastic microwave, great brand, really great look with a retro-modern twist. Cleans up easy, right blue LED for time/clock. Fairly simple to understand despite having several cooking options/methods. I recommend for the general use and great price. Handle seems to pick up grease/marks a lot quicker than my previous microwave, but nothing a wet wipe or dishcloth won’t sort out!

Ten out of ten to Amazon support: having noticed that this microwave carries a 2 year warranty I left my number on the customer service page. I was called back instantly and after going through what the issue is the lovely lady I spoke to is sending me out a new microwave. It will arrive the day after tomorrow So, I am going to give Swan another chance. Well done Amazon. I purchased the Swan Microwave in April 2021. It is easily the most expensive microwave I have ever bought. It has had only very light use 2 or 3 minutes here and there to reheat food or warm plates etc. It started making grinding noises a few months ago. This evening it made a very loud humming noise then a loud pop! It no longer heats anything. It has bitten the dust in just over 18 months. My cheap £35.00 one which I replaced with the Swan and gave away to a family member is still going strong and must be 8 years old if it’s a day. The one star is for the colour…….I could not recommend buying one. Below is my original review, how wrong I was about it’s performance! I mostly only use a microwave to heat up and this sets my kitchen off a treat along with it’s other matching kitchen accessories. Easy to use knobs (as opposed to digital settings). I can’t review any cooking as such because I don’t use it to cook in but I would imagine if you did it would perform well.

I totally love my new microwave i have decorated my kitchen an American diner theme the blue swan products look amazing and brighten up the kitchen perfect and also gives it the retro look. If like myself your changing colour scheme and buying a few new swan products it works out cheaper buying the items separate rather than in a package deal from Swan! I saved quite a bit of money doing this and as an amazon prime customer everything was free next day delivery. Best thing I ever did was subscribe to amazon prime the amount of money I have saved since joining has been great. I have recommended amazon prime to family and friends it's has a lot of great benefits and bargains.

Loved the retro look and colour of this microwave. I bought this in April 2016, I didn't start using it until the November as we'd been waiting for our kitchen renovation to be completed. It's only used once maybe twice a week to reheat meals or the odd bowl of beans/spaghetti. I always make sure I leave the door open for it to vent after use and that the bottom doesn't have any pools of water, but after only 4/5 months of use the inside had gone rusty and it's barely useable. Before the rust showed, the white coating began to bubble and I only noticed this when I was heating a bag of popcorn and the bag caught fire because the turning plate had jilted and jammed, pushing the popcorn bag up against the side of the microwave! It was a good job I was in the same room keeping an eye on it otherwise it could have been a lot worse than just a scorch mark inside the microwave! Would not recommend as I've seen a few people have had similar problems regarding the rust.
