The Breville microwaves excel in Consumer Reports predicted reliability ratings but received poor marks for performance – particularly for evenness of cooking and defrosting performance. I've also had problems with the build quality of several Breville products over the last few years – particularly with knobs and switches that feel flimsy and fail. Call me old fashioned, but I think given the basics, the most important "luxury feature" of a microwave today would be RELIABILITY. All the special cooking modes, Alexa-voice-control, wifi-connections, beep-muting, and soft-closing doors in the universe can't help if the thing stops working after a year.

The top rated one in this video does not have power control, which according to Lan Lam in another video is an important feature of a microwave to get the most out of it.

You put COFFEE in the microwave? James Hoffman would like to have a word with you.

I stand corrected. By definition a Megnetron is a vacuumtube. I thought it was a solidstate device.

We had a older 1000 watt microwave that finally quit. It could cook a bag of popcorn in 2:52. We replaced it with a new 1200 watt model. I tried to cook my popcorn but had to remove it at the 2:00 mark because it was smoking and smelled burnt. The correct setting for popcorn in the new oven is 1:40. Even at 1:50 it starts to overcook..

Would love to read the review. But I'm NOT interested in providing my life story as well as a credit card to do so.

I really wish you would have shown popcorn testing results. I can tell you that the sensor technology on that blue microwave you had in the back is terrible for popcorn. In fact, that microwave is terrible, period. Looks neat, though.
