Smallest Microwave with large interior

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was looking for compact microwaves and all the ones at the popular stores and websites were at least 17 inches wide. I needed one that was less than that for the space I had available. Why this model didn't show up in the searches as the first one (or at all), I don't know. It is certainly the most compact and fits my space and needs perfectly. It has performed as expected and I am glad I found it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Small and Simple

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this 1 month ago to fit a small space. Only microwave that I could find to fit this small of an area on the countertop.
Works great. Lower wattage so I use full power level all the time; I do not need to use a "lower power level" setting as I would on a higher wattage microwave.
Bit unusual set up for the time: no time setting per se thus easier to use in some respects. I just hit the start button for the 1st 30 seconds and keep hitting it to add 30 seconds at a time for the total time I want: hit the start button 4 times for 2 minutes.
Only complaint: very expensive for a 700W microwave.

What were they thinking?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the size and styling, looks great in our airstream trailer. It boggles my mind though that it came with a bright white power cord which stands out in stark contrast to the sleek black cabinet.
The defrost function is inconvenient; the default time is 11:52 seconds. This can be adjusted down second by second but would have been much more user friendly to just enter a time and be done with it.

Fits into the corner and frees up space

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love it except the door opens with a tug. This moves the microwave on the counter. Have to use 2 hands to open

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I waited 6 weeks for delivery- it was perfect fit for my counter- within one week it was not working- I had replaced a microwave that was ten years old- I had to go get it back-
I now am waiting for a replacement- let’s see what happens!

Excellent unit

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Perfect size and innovative round back side.. Fits in the corner and saves tons of counter space. plenty of wattage power for most foods.. Nice simple uncluttered control buttons. Costs a bit more but definitely worth it. Hard to find this small size microwave.
