Cutest retro microwave that works perfectly
In LOVE with this absolutely adorable retro microwave. This thing is perfect. I love the retro look, there’s something comforting about it. The color is cute and goes with the overall vibe of our kitchen.It probably weighs about 25 lbs and wasn’t difficult to remove from box and put on countertop. It was easy to setup clock and overall easy to use. One thing that took me a minute to understand is that you have to press the “pause/cancel” button before you can open the microwave door when cooking something.For a quick cook, you simply press the knob in and then can turn it to the left or right to decrease or increase cook time. There are also a bunch of preset cook times for things like soup, dinner plate, potatoes, etc. that you can select.The microwave is a fairly normal size but is a little smaller than our last one (which I like). It’s easy to clean, the buttons work well and are responsive. The beeping when something is done is a fairly average noise level I’d say, nothing crazy unpleasant, but I always try to avoid that anyway.Overall this is more than a 5/5, it’s just the best. I highly recommend to anyone searching for the comfort in that retro vibe who also wants a simple, straightforward and functional microwave for a decent price.

Functional and cute
Perfect for small spaces and light use. It warms up beverages fast and can prepare frozen tv dinner in minutes. It is sturdy and and the noise level is average. Commands are very intuitive and even the kidâs lock is easy to get used to.

Great Microwave with Unparalleled Style
I used the microwave a month to make sure it wouldn’t fall apart…based on some of the reviews here, I’m lucky the rotating plate didn’t break, the handle didn’t fall off, or the oven didn’t burn down the kitchen. Instead, it survived, though it’s only been a month, so who knows. Bottom line, this microwave is not only the best-looking microwave I’ve ever had, it’s the easiest I’ve ever used. Hit the big round button and it turns on for one minute, then rotate the button to quickly scale your time up or down. There are a bunch of other features that are also easy to understand for anyone with a fifth grade education, but I’ve cooked meals and reheated items more than once a day for a month and I’m delighted with the overall performance.Yes, the interior light only comes on when the oven is running, not when you open the door. Are the other reviewers blind or something? That just isn’t a big deal. Yes, it beeps three times when the cooking session ends. I don’t live in a monastery under a vow of silence, so that’s okay. The beeping is no louder than any other microwave I’ve owned. Yes, the power plug forces the microwave to sit about 2½ inches from the wall (see pics)…and the owners manual recommends it sit 3 inches from the wall for venting purposes. I’m okay with that.None of the hundreds of other reviews showed photos of the black version of the microwave, so I’m showing it in several pictures here. It is a handsome devil, even in black, and it harmonizes beautifully with my granite countertop. The interior is plenty big enough for a standard dinner plate (see pics), and therefore big enough for any frozen dinner.The 800 watts of power is slightly less than my usual 900 or 1,100 watts, but it cooks well and cooks evenly. I just follow the directions on a frozen dinner (which are written for 1,100 watt microwaves), maybe adding 10 or 20 seconds to the timing, and it comes out piping hot. Anyone who says it doesn’t heat has a bad microwave and should return the oven within a week of purchasing…not sit around complaining about it.So I love my microwave. If it breaks in six months or six years, I’ll just buy another one (hopefully when they are on sale, like I did this time). For intuitive microwavers like myself, it is unbelievably easy to use. And it’s the most attractive retro-style microwave on the market, whatever color you choose, and it’s really not a very close competition with any other design. I could not be happier.

LOVELY
Amazing piece!!! So many compliments when people walk into my kitchen! Love the childlock feature too! Just read the instructions thoroughly and you’ll be good to go and never want another microwave! It is a bit small on the inside though but not a deal breaker for not being this cute, shabby chic, retro, timeless appliance!

Iâve only had it a few days but so far Iâm loving it!
This is the cutest microwave. Love the retro design and bright yellow color. The controls are easy to operate and it heats up well. Itâs smaller than my old unit but still large enough for my needs. For those who donât need the child lock feature you can deactivate it, which I did since I donât have any young children. Right now I would highly recommend it. Hopefully it will stand the test of time.

Adorable and Works Perfectly
Adorable! And works well, but it was too big for my space, so I had to return it. Measure well and be exact! Wish I could keep it.

Super cute and functional
I would have preferred a different color but this one was cheaper. Super cute. Works great. It’s not identical to the one I had before so the buttons are a little different. I still stand by giving it five stars but my only complaint is when the microwave cycle stops, you have to hit stop button for the door to be able to be opened. Same with if you want to pause in the middle of it, you have to hit the stop button to unlock the door. If that makes sense. But that’s my only complaint.

This microwave should not be sold in the UK. It arrived with an American style plug fitted. Not safe to use adapter or converter, as stated in info book, which came with the microwave. I contacted seller and two electricians. Seller sent me an adapter separately. Only meant for sale in Canada and USA. It could result in injury and damage. I had to return this microwave, as it was not safe to use. A hassle getting lable printed. Then courier turned up with a label ! Very stressful. No information when ordering that it had an American style plug fitted. Very disappointed, as I loved the colour and style.
