Product does not have handle
This was a replacement for an oven in a rental unit. It seems fine, but I can not personally evaluate it. I chose it for two main reasons. First, it is 900watts, but yet is compact. Secondly, it is described as having a handle to open the door, rather than a push button. This unit has a push button. I don’t know if that is a fluke or what. The model number is basically the same as in the item description. I will not bother to return it, but be warned that you may not receive a model with a handle. If all units of this product now have push buttons, the description should be revised.

Colors are not accurate
Was really hoping for a two toned microwave, but this is all white. Works fine otherwise I guess, but does not match my appliances and lll likely be returning.Dissapointed.

Double check colors if used
Itâs pretty all white and works well, However, I was expecting a black front with white sides and topâ¦but disappointed I didnât get the two-toned color.

excellent so far
We’ve only had it a couple weeks, but it seems like a winner. It arrived in good shape, as the vendor had double-boxed it, and quickly enough. We like that it has a handle. Seems easy to figure out how to use. Cooks well!

Do not buy.
This microwave is oppressively loud, like a 747 airliner taking off. Also it does not have rubber feet so it slides around when you open the door.

The Curtis International Microwave in white has a beautiful, crisp, clean look. Fits perfectly on my side kitchen counter and thus far works flawlessly.I have used the Defrost (for my boiled chicken breasts I use in my fur-baby’s food) and it thaws beautifully without any cooking of the chicken at all. It Defrosts the chicken breasts and they are as juicy and moist aa when I froze them. My last microwave seemed to cook the food as it defrosted and would dry the chicken out.Reheating is also excellent. Again, your food is “reheated” not “recooked.” I use this option often.All functions are self explanatory and work as indicated. Easy to clean and sports a nice round digital, illuminated clock.I am very happy with my Curtis International Microwave.

I must be honest: I bought this microwave because I needed a great looking microwave that would cook food and was reasonably priced. This one fits the bill, I’m really happy so far. The only two small downsides is that it slides on my countertop when I want to open the door, but I solved the issue by putting a vinyl placemat under it. The buttons also scratch easily. But overall, I’m really happy with it and it works great so far. I’ll update my review in the next months / years if anything happens.

The microwave is perfect! We had trouble finding one to fit a specific spot and this one is perfect. It is easy to use and it heats food efficiently. I like the door handle vs the usual push button to open the door. Very happy with this purchase.

This micro is a great size for a small home or family. Love the easy controls ,the look and the pull handle. But after two weeks of use the control panel is wearing off. Very disappointed
