Manual not digital but ok. The light inside is very dim and therefore impossible to see your food whilst it is cooking.

Pros: Easy to use. Dials are accurate. Looks smart. Cons: Strong factory smell won't wash off so food is tainted. Dark interior is scary. Doesn't make me smile like a retro one might.

It's good in that it has a relatively large turntable for the size of the appliance. Quality is about what you would expect these days; better than average, but not as good as it could be.

The microwave operates reliably, and seems well built - but has many limitations. It's because of these limitations that I wouldn't give it 3 stars (perhaps a 2.5/2.8, as it is well-built - it's just very basic). No internal lighting except while heating, hence inconvenient when opening the door to place or remove items. The dial can be difficult to read, so brief 10 or 20 second heating sessions are awkward. I'm sure it's a reliable microwave, and it's been fine reliability-wise so far and looks solid. It's odd that a good manufacturer like Bosch has put such an outdated design onto the market. The functionality on this microwave is so basic, and out of tune with modern living that it really belongs in the 1970s/80s - or a museum, unfortunately.

Basic with no frills, but a quality product that does the job.

It is compact which is why we bought it. The controls are basic and it is tricky to set an accurate time that isn’t an exact minute. But it does the job and looks good.

Simple and intuitive to use, reputable brand. A little plasticky but otherwise OK

Love this microwave but I think the light inside should be brighter
