great model, love it

I primarily use the microwave for reheating food and defrosting products. It may not be the most powerful model, but it handles these tasks perfectly. Food heats evenly, and the same goes for defrosting. I prefer the straightforward mechanical controls over electronic ones, and now my daughter can heat up her own food. It's compact, takes up little space, yet fits a large plate. Thanks for the "steam cleaning" feature; it makes cleaning much easier.
compact, easy to operate, low noise during operation
no additional stand.

I recently purchased the microwave, looking purely for something to reheat food, not expensive but quality, and it also fits perfectly in the kitchen in terms of design and size. It's spacious, heats food well and quickly, has a defrost and steam cleaning function. I really liked the controls, they are quite easy and intuitive.
Appearance, powerful, compact
So far, everything is satisfactory.
A good microwave for the price for heating food.

I bought a microwave for the kitchen, it's small but spacious, looks neat, nothing unnecessary. It heats food quickly, to hot in a minute or two.
I liked that the inside is easy to clean, the enamel doesn't absorb odors, and the controls are very simple.
It sometimes heats a little unevenly, especially if the food is dense or in a deep container.

Aqua Clean automatic steam cleaning

Inexpensive microwave without grill Gorenje Essential MO 17 E1W belongs to the category of Low-end products that do an excellent job with normal everyday tasks. This is a compact model from the Essential design series with a small internal chamber volume of 17 liters and a heating power of 700 watts. The device received a white case with a wide black frame around the perimeter of the viewing window of the door. On the market there is also an alternative modification in silver colour MO 17 E1S. A standard glass plate Ø 245 mm is mounted on the turntable, the rotation of which ensures even distribution of microwave heat. The enameled walls of the working chamber are easily cleaned by the steam method without the use of household chemicals. It is enough to pour 200 mL of water into a container and, placing the container on the bottom of the oven, activate the Aqua Clean automatic steam cleaning programme. The steam softens the dirt, after which it can be removed with a damp cloth.

Confidently reheat portioned meals

The appliance is controlled by 2 rotary switches, painted in silver, as well as a large button that opens the door. The upper dial is for selecting the heating mode, and the lower one is for setting the timer time (0 – 35 min). Five heating modes correspond to the specified power of the magnetron — 17%, 33%, 55%, 77% and 100%. At the same time, defrosting by weight is performed at the 2nd heating level, and cleaning of the inner surface is performed at the maximum. The microwave oven supports a temporary suspension of the cooking process (pause) when the door is opened. And for a complete cessation of work, it is enough to set the timer to the value "0". Despite the functional simplicity, the model fully met the expectations: it handles with the heating of portioned dishes no worse than more expensive and “fancy” appliances.
