Love it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I took a chance because I didn't bother going to a store to see this in person. So glad I did! Cutest microwave ever AND my super-sized 11+in dinner plates fit (and spin). I have an ultra small 8x8 galley kitchen and since counter space is so limited, I was all set out to have an already purchased over the range microwave installed. At the last minute I thankfully realized that I really didn't want that arrangement, since all too many times I'd pull something super hot out of a microwave and have to fling it on the counter. So, I returned that and purchased this. Best yet, it fits perfectly on the tiny counter next to my stove which was kind of useless otherwise. My only complaint is that there is no mute button for the loud beeps. I live in a condo and wouldn't think of using it early in the morning because of this. If they ever come out with a new model with that feature, I'll be the first in line.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Compact

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Compact and fits when real estate is prime. It works just to reheat my food. Cost is higher compared to average power and feature.

This sucks

First time using it and it will not heat anything. I spent an hour trying to cook something and nothing it might as well have not been on. So I tried heating up a single slice of cheese. After 3 minutes still cold.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Perfect for my space

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I replaced a hulking old micro with this one when I moved to an apartment from a house. It works well, is just the right size for corner placement and even looks kind of cute. Power is definitely adequate (it’s even more efficient than the old micro at tasks like reheating leftovers or coffee). Buttons are intuitive. Tip: Place one hand on top to steady the micro while opening the door to keep it from shifting.

Fits small spaces

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This microwave is great for small spaces or for families that don't need a huge microwave. It fits large dinner plates just fine, does a good job of heating evenly. Best of all, it takes up very little room, we have more counter space now. We fit it into the corner under the cabinets, it's out-of-the way but very accessible. I also like that when it beeps to tell you the cook time is up, it immediately stops when you open the door. It doesn't go on beeping like our old microwave did. Very small thing, but it makes a surprising difference. No more trying to yank open the door at the last second of cook time to avoid hearing all those superfluous beeps!

Smallest footprint but still fits my needs!

Our new microwave arrived today and I already love it! I purchased it because my previous microwave took up too much precious counter space. This one takes up less than half the space. Fit and finish are very nice. There is no keyboard so you use a plus or minus button to add or decrease seconds, in five second increments. This is just fine. It fits my tall coffee cup and my large dinner plates. It heated up my frozen tamale perfectly in the amount of time stated on the packaging. I do wish the front of it was white on this “White” model, which is the reason I gave four stars for design.

Almost portable

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This works great, I believe it's only 750 watts but all you need is a little more time. It fits great on our cart and we move it around quite often cause it has a really short power cord. It also does not have a number pad so you have to either hit the+ button or keep hitting the add 30s button
