    5.0 out of 5 stars Very Nice Microwave

    Good size inside. Looks great and works great so far. We bought a Panasonic and returned it in favor of this one because this was superior in every way. One small drawback is that it's a little noisier than the Panasonic but that's somewhat minor

    I love this microwave. It is small but powerful. One number cook as a good option. I live by myself and use it often for a quick meal. It doesn't take a lot of room on my countertop. The keyboard is easy to read I'm a senior. The light in the oven is bright to see the food. I am very happy and the price is just right. I would support this item to anyone.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Works well n fits my limited space

    The media could not be loaded.
    Pro: small footprint , easy to use, well lit.

    Con: somewhat hard to open the door, moisture accumulates after heating liquids (but no rusting of interior so far)...just have to remember to wipe dry, which helps to keep the inside cleaner. Glass tray does wobble a bit, but not as bad as the last microwave that I had...which was a more expensive one.

    It seems like most of my microwaves only last a couple of years, so time will tell if this one lasts. But, I do like it for reheating leftovers, etc.

    I love my new microwave. Would recommend to all. Love the 30 second button. The black interior is perfect. The programing is so much easier. GREAT PRODUCT!

    All these countertop microwaves are very similar. This one has a very good (Easy to use) control panel and generally seems well made and looks very nice.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Unit was dead on arrival.
    Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2024
    EDIT 12/25/2024: Rating reduced from 5 stars to 1. It would be zero if I could. The unit arrived in a day and there was zero damage to the box. The unit also had no visible damage to the cabinet or the power cord. But it was electrically dead right out of the box. I read the manual and followed the instructions which were few and simple. The display would not light up. The control panel was completely unresponsive. I plugged it into several outlets proven to be working with other appliances. Nothing. It's just dead. Back it goes. Already processed the return.

    It's disappointing. I'd expect at least minimal quality control like plugging the units in to see if they'll at least power up and the lights come on before they're shipped out to retailers. Apparently that didn't happen.

    ORIGINAL REVIEW:
    Just for clarity since their are multiple versions in this product listing, I bought the 1.3 cu ft, 1000W version with the stainless steel finish and the curved door handle.

    A microwave is pretty much like a coffee pot or a toaster oven to me. We use it 99% of the time to.....
    1.) Heat up coffee or tea.
    2.) Defrost frozen stuff.
    3.) Reheat leftovers.
    4.) Make popcorn.

    So the question becomes can it do the basics with an easy to use control interface and is it durable / reliable. The answer in this case is yes.

    This is a direct replacement for the exact same Farberware branded microwave I bought 7 years ago for the exact same price. The only difference is that the original one was black and this one has a stainless steel finish. The styling and control interface is identical except for a couple of feature additions in the new one. But as an offset, the old one had an output of 1100W and this one is rated at 1000W. No big deal.

    The physical size both inside and outside are identical. That's critical for me as this thing has to fit in a built in cubby / garage over the counter. And this is the largest unit that will fit I've ever found. As for the inside, it will fit a large dinner plate. Good enough.

    As for the control interface, there is a zero learning curve as it's almost identical to the one it's replacing. It has the basics covered.....
    1.) Time cook.
    2.) Time defrost.
    3.) Weight defrost.
    4.) Power level adjustment
    5.) 5 presets for popcorn, pizza, dinner plate, potato, frozen veggies, and beverages.
    6.) One touch cook time from 1-6 min. The old one was 1-3 min.
    7.) 30 second one touch add by pressing the start button again.

    It's obvious that they put some thought into the interface to make it really easy to do what microwaves are used for 99% of the time. If you need to read the manual to use this, well... you need help. LOL, it's that easy.

    As for value, the original black one cost me the exact same $135 in March 2018. It's not dead. It still heats fine. But the timer / clock display flips out intermittently then comes back to life randomly before failing again. Just annoying. And the inside has seen enough wear that its not possible to get it really clean looking any longer. But hey, this thing gets used probably 10 times daily by 4 people on average.

    And at $135 the original lasted 7 years. That's about $19/year or $1.60/month. I'm OK with replacing it with a newer version at this point. I got good value out of it.

    Hopes this helps anyone trying to make a decision.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but flawed
    Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2024
    This is an inexpensive and compact microwave that is super-easy to use, and it does exactly what you want a microwave for - it heats food and drinks efficiently. The cooking time and quality is on par with any smaller microwave, no complaints there.

    For the price, it's not bad, but there is one caveat - it retains FAR too much moisture, the vent fans just don't work, so it fills with moisture and must be wiped and cleaned after every use.

    It shouldn't accumulate such a high level of moisture with every use. Just cooking a potato will cover the entire interior with water. As long as it's wiped, it should be good, but I have a feeling the moisture builds up in areas that are inaccessible to cleaning.

    I had a similar model that was obviously made by the same company, although it was an Amazon-branded product, and it corroded and rusted out after a few years. I did not attentively wipe that one after every use. This one may last longer because I am more meticulous about it. The instructions say you should make sure you have proper clearance on the sides so it can vent properly, but it doesn't even if it has lots of room.

    When reviewing a product, it's unfair not to take the price into consideration. This one is inexpensive, so I take that into account. It is also very easy to use and it cooks well. That said, all they have to do to make this unit far more reliable and long-lasting is to fix the venting system.
