A wonderful space saving microwave!
on November 17, 2023
Posted by: SSSS
from Midwest
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have been using the microwave for a couple weeks now and are impressed with it. It gives us more counter space due to its size and shape. We were amazed by how it warms items quickly. I thought there would be a big difference in warming times from my 1100 watt microwave, but I really haven't noticed that much difference. The turntable inside helps warm everything evenly too. We use our microwaves for warming leftovers, frozen meals or snacks, and defrosting meat mainly.
So, far there is no item that hasn't fit in this microwave. I have put a dinner plate in it without having any problem with it touching anywhere inside the microwave. To get an idea of the height of the inside, the regular bags of a popular brand of frozen corn and broccoli will touch the top of the microwave. The interior light is bright too.
The exterior size of the microwave was one of our main concerns with purchasing a new microwave. It fits nicely underneath our upper cabinets with some space to spare, and our lower cabinets were raised about an 1 1/2".
The controls are on the front under the door and are simple to use. It has a nice bright blue display for clock and timer. I like the ability to add time to warming when melting cheese or whatever. The door opens and closes nicely.
We purchased the white model to match the rest of our kitchen. It gives off a cute and clean appearance. Everyone that sees it asks what it is. When I tell them it's our microwave, they think it is the cutest or neatest thing. The fit and functionality is perfect for us. It was what we were looking for.

Compact size with simple functionalities
on June 21, 2023
Posted by: Satisfied Customer
from Los Angeles, CA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wanted a very small footprint on countertop to use for quick coffee heating and food cooking. We have currently a built-in drawer microwave and it requires several tasks to open/close drawer and timer to heat a small plate/coffee mug in a large, unnecessary cook space. The functions are straightforward and easy to operate. Very satisfied with this product.

corner-friendly microwave

Posted by: NancyM
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm on my third one (they seem to last about five years) of this corner-friendly, space-saving microwave and hope you never stop making it! A game-changer for those of us with limited counter space.
I would recommend this to a friend!
