Exactly what you need
I researched low end microwaves for months until I finally just bought the popular one. Was worried itâd somehow be awful but thatâs not the case at all. Works perfectly. Fits a large plate just fine. Fairly light weight. Not loud. If you want a cheap, good unit that also looks decent, this is the one.

A must buy!
Just received this yesterday. I wanted a high watt microwave but it had to be small (to fit in my galley kitchen. Alot of them are 700 watts because they’re smallð..but this one was 900 watts…perfect! Unpacked it..put it on the counter and it fit perfectly..measurements were spot on..18.7 inches wide.(which is what i was worried about). And I have to say,for a compact microwave it is really sharp looking..I got the black.but the FRONT looks more like a dark gray metallic..really pretty and high end looking. Overall,it works really nice,very easy to work everything and makes my kitchen look great! Don’t hesitate..worth the money. (I did watch reviews on youtube and they were good).

Great microwave
The dimensions provided are accurate, which is a relief because this is a large microwave. It’s worth noting that the power cable is positioned on the right edge of the rear and is relatively short. Be sure to have an outlet located either directly behind or to the right of the microwave for optimal placement.Performance-wise, the microwave operates quietly, which is a welcome feature in a busy household. The rotating tray’s ability to return to its default position is a thoughtful touchâit saves you from reaching awkwardly across hot items to grab handles. The humidity sensor is another highlight, particularly effective when reheating dishes that include pasta, ensuring even heating without drying out the food.However, one minor drawback is the underpowered beeper. With my previous microwave, I could hear the completion alert clearly from the living room, but this model’s beep is noticeably softer and easier to miss.Overall, this is a well-designed, large-format microwave that lives up to its promises. Iâd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and spacious option for their kitchen.

The right size for light use
The pros: The oven is exactly the right size. Big enough to reheat most anything, not so small as to be a dorm-type oven. Fits my big dinner plates. The keypad is easy to use. The door (pull-open) is easy to open and close. I like that the power is a little less than my previous big microwave. It takes very slightly longer to cook but that’s a plus for reheating anything (less likely to overcook). It’s quiet (aside from the very loud beeps when done – you can turn that off but not down).Two cons: the front feet don’t support the oven as well as they should. If the door is open and you aren’t careful, you can tip the oven forward a little. Not over, but enough to be a surprise. Not a huge deal but it is something to be aware of. The second thing is the glass plate support isn’t recessed enough. While sliding out a bigger dish, the glass rotating tray easily slides right off and the plastic wheelie thing pops out. I’ve had several times when it all popped off while cooking a dish that wasn’t perfectly centered.Overall, I like the microwave and the price is right.

Great small microwave
Great little microwave that acts like a full grown microwave! We had to replace our large MagicChef counter top microwave and I was drawn to this one for all the boxes it checked. I was a little nervous that it would be too small for my fiestaware dinner plate that measures 10.5″. As you can see from the picture, it fits fine, even with the overlaying cover. I love that you can mute the beep and turn off the outside display. I love how quiet the door opens and closes. The microwave itself is quieter than our old one, but then it’s a much smaller one, so there’s that. Great value. Seems well made and built to last.

Great microwave
It’s a really nice 900 watt microwave for the money. It’s not very large but plenty big enough and it works great.

Itâs great!

Well Designed
I bought this microwave to replace an identical one that failed after 3 years of typical household use. The first microwave began overheating and running when the door was opened. 3 years is a pretty short lifespan for a microwave but I liked the ease of use, the quiet operation and the mute feature so much I bought another one.Unfortunately the second unit failed after only 5 days of light use. The light and the turntable worked but it failed to heat anything.Despite this I gave it 4 stars because I feel that the premature failure was due to the shipping and handling and not due to the device. The microwave arrived loosely packed without cushioning and was rattling around in a big box. It was delivered by USPS and left standing on it’s head by my garage.

Looks great! You need 30 sec to reheat simple food. Easy to use. Not noisy. Very spacious inside. Highly recommended.

Me gusta su apariencia metálica le da muy buena vista. El producto funciona como debe ser. Es básico pero muy funcional si no utilizas mucho el microondas para cocinar.

Unobtrusive. Small footprint. Love that we can shut off the the sound and the stand by display (when you press the button to set the time, the display will come on again). It was the right price. Does it’s job well. Didn’t feel we would get our money’s worth getting a more expensive and flashy microwave. Will buy again or recommend to a friend.

Excellent small microwave especially if counter space is limited. Easy to use control panel with large numbers and selected settings. The handle is sturdy and opens easily, a good feature for those who may find a push button opening difficult The bright interior light makes viewing contents clear. Not for cooking big meals but certainly would work well for those in smaller households. The stainless steel front panel is stylish and looks good in my small kitchen. Very happy with this purchase.
