Our microwave oven came with all other siemens products purchased with our new kitchen. We chose siemens because we believed we were buying quality-how wrong were we?! The first thing to go was the dishwasher after less than 18months so was luckily covered by the 2 yr warranty, then it was the turn of the microwave which unfortunately was one month outside the warranty. Now bearing in mind how infrequently our microwave is used, I wrote to Siemens `customer service` to ask if as a goodwill gesture, as we had already experienced a problem with the dishwasher, would they repair the microwave free of charge-I never even got a reply to my letter! I checked to see if they had received it which they had, but were not willing to do anything except sell me insurance at #189 per year! I should also mention that my mother in law has this same model of microwave (bought after us)and had a different fault within 3 months of purchase. You have been warned, Siemens appliances are NOT as reliable as they would have you believe on their website. I am now dreading my oven breaking down as this was the most expensive of the 5 Siemens appliances in our kitchen.
