Landlords providing fully furnished accommodation should always be on the lookout for a bargain. This applies to electrical goods as much as anything else, although good landlords will be aware that a bargain buy must always comply with all health and safety regulations. It is also a good idea to have electrical items as well as the rest of the property covered with a landlord insurance policy.
If a property has limited space in the kitchen then a small microwave can be a useful supplement to other cooking facilities. The Carlton C25MW09 microwave is at the low end of the market price-wise and is versatile enough to suit most basic microwave needs.
A good pointer when looking for a new electrical product is online reviews and the Carlton had plenty of those with the great majority extolling its virtues. It is not too heavy, small enough to fit on top of a fridge or worktop and is very reasonably priced.
When it comes to use, the door is very light, and has a handle which clicks nicely when you open or close the door with it. It is also very easy to clean, and the design is pretty urban and funky with an oval shaped window. The performance is not always consistent, you get some part of the food perhaps hotter than the other, but then that is inevitable with microwave cooking.
A really good point about the Carlton is that it is programmable, which for a microwave at its price is excellent, even though it will be for heating and defrosting mostly, it is nice to know that you could programme it for under 30 seconds, or for any seconds you like, which is not only good for butter but also for defrosting and warming frozen buns and cupcakes, for a quick snack!
One small drawback is the beep it makes when it has finished. The noise is repeated five times and in tenancies such as converted rooms in one house the noise could easily be heard by other inhabitants. A factor that landlords may bear in mind when placing the product in buildings within their portfolio.
