COMMERCIAL CHEF Black Microwave 0.7 Cu. Ft. with Rotary Switch Knob, 700W Countertop Small Microwave with Microwave Turntable Plate, 6 Level Power Tabletop Microwave with Microwave Handle

Man cave microwave
I got this microwave for my garage when I am out there and want to heat something up. Plus I needed one that was easy to use since my vision is so bad. So this microwave having the turn knob for the timer and the heating level was perfect. Everything on it is built solidly and it works very well.I’ve only used it for a few different things so far, but it’s been more than adequate for everything. I threw a couple rice, bean, cheese burritos in there, and those suckers came out super hot. My Thanksgiving leftovers came out consistently heated all the way through. There was one review that said they were not able to pop microwave popcorn with theirs, mine has no problem whatsoever. With everything I’ve used it for so far, it has easily passed the test.

Solid low tech option
Good microwave with two dials- no buttons or touchpad to break! Perfect for my office. It’s a decent size, has different heat settings, and a turntable.

Love it! 5 major pros, 3 minor cons…
I bought this to replace a button-based model, and here’s what I know after having used this for several months:*Pros1) Quick and easy to set temp and time. My last microwave took anywhere between 5-10 separate button presses to set power level and cook time; if I pressed the wrong thing, I had to clear and do it all over again. This model is just two turns of a dial, at the most, regardless of what temp or time I want.2) Power level can be adjusted without stopping the microwave. In addition to reheating tea and leftovers, I do a lot of legit cooking in this – things like rice, quinoa, polenta, potatoes for mashing. That can call for longer, lower cooking times and I love being able to adjust power level at any time without resetting.3) It’s just one quick pleasant “ding” when done. My old digital microwave had 5 piercing beeps that persisted even if I opened the door on the first beep; if not opened, it beeps again. Personally, I don’t need such a persistent reminder, especially if I happen to be on a call (I work from home, so this happens more often for me now). I often found myself racing to my previous microwave to turn it off right before it was done so I wouldn’t have to hear the super loud beeps.4) It doesn’t slide on the counter since it’s not push-operated. My microwave is not backed by a wall. My previous unit would slide on the counter when I push the buttons to set time or open the door, and I was always a little nervous it would get pushed off the counter. Because this one is turn dials, it doesn’t get pushed and doesn’t slide on the counter. The door opens and closes easily so pushing and pulling on that part is not enough to move the unit. *I’ll add that I have another appliance stacked on top of the microwave which adds a little more weight. But even if I didn’t, I don’t think opening/closing the door would make it slide.5) The door can be left open to air out. This microwave only lights up while it’s running, NOT when the door is open. If I heat something that steams up the inside, I can just leave the door open to air it out so things don’t get humid and stinky in there over time. (see photo)5) My Breville countertop/toaster oven fits perfectly on top. To save space, I wanted a microwave that was just big enough to fit my Breville on top, and this one works perfectly. Most other units I saw on Amazon were much larger than this (more counter space than I wanted to give up), or too small to handle what I need. (see photo)*Cons (very minor)1) I wish I could more reliably set time under 1 minute. Sometimes I just want to warm a biscuit which takes like 7-10 seconds, but the time dial isn’t sensitive enough to accurately set for under 1 minute. In my video, you can see how there’s little resistance on the dial, and the microwave doesn’t turn on until it’s closer to a full minute. Not a deal breaker, I just stand by for those quick heating times. If I turn the dial way up to 2+ minutes then wind down, I can get it to heat at some time under 30 seconds. That’s still useful for things that are less sensitive than bread….like reheating a still-warm drink.2) I wish there were a way to feel when the dial is at one of the whole-minute marks, at least for the first 5 or 10 minutes on the dial, and maybe even for 30 second increments. This would be a great feature especially for folks with any kind of visual impairment since the numbers are small. I’d love this improvement on the power level dial as well – to feel the dial click into place for each of the main power level settings.3) This microwave does not have a digital display, so it won’t be a clock or timer. NBD for me, but wanted to mention in case it matters to some of you.*OverallI like this 2-dial microwave leaps and bounds over any of the button-push models I’ve ever owned, and am not going back to a push-button style any time soon.

So easy to use. place food, twist one or two dials, close door = Cooking. However:
This replaces a smaller microwave cooker that was 35 years old!. They new one has 400 more watts and a slightly larger internal capacity.However, with the old one, the light was on when the door was open. Now it is on only when the unit is cooking. The previous unit had 5 stops for cooling level. This one is continuous but is not easy to see the location of the indicator as it is black-on-black. I placed a spot of white paint on the dial to see where it is.For older, or wet, hands it is a challenge to turn the knobs as they are totally smooth. I pulled off the old knobs and attached better ones.The timer is a simple twist. None of this keypad press, press, press, press, press, press, press, press, press to set cooking time/power levels. If you are stuck with a digital unit, have you ever pressed the 4, 7 , 8, or 9 for a setting? NOTHING in cooking needs that level of precision.The door is improved over the previous one. With this, an open door does not make the footprint wider as the other one did (by about 1/2″) Now, being up against the refrigerator, I do not have to provide that 1/2″ gap on the side to allow for the open door.The approximately $100 price is very appreciated. The original cost $79 back in 1989.

Pour des raisons que j’ignore les pattes sont en plastiques quand il serait si simple de mettre du caoutchouc et il serait stable. Fonctionne très bien.

Just the right size for my downsize apt. Works well
