Best Little Microwave
on February 5, 2016
Posted by: HippieGirl
from Batavia, IL
I love this little guy. It takes up so little space and works great for my needs. It doesn't look like a typical box rectangle huge clunky microwave. It fits perfect in a corner of the counter. Can fit a full size round plate in here, but not a square on (which I have). But that's ok. Otherwise it is great. Once you get used to how to select the wattage for defrost and how to set the time, it is fine (note that there is no keypad for numbers on this). Still very powerful for such a tiny cutie. So glad I got it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great space saver but takes 3x as long to heat anything

The design, size and looks of this microwave are outstanding. However, things that used to take us 30 seconds to warm up are now taking 1:30 or even 2:00 minutes before same temperature. We thought it was related to wattage but even at 100% it's not warming as fast. Our old microwave was 1100W and this one is 759W. So, we knew it would take slightly longer but are surprised by how much longer.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Compact, cute & just what we needed!

While literally hand selecting every piece that has gone into our new construction home, we looked at what felt like a million microwaves. They were all huge with a ridiculous amount of buttons & tons of features I knew we'd never use. I'm no gourmet chef and I don't cook giant turkeys in the microwave, nor am I a technological whiz. Our family just needed something small & unobtrusive that would be simple to use for reheating leftovers & warming canned foods, etc. I couldn't be happier with this microwave, it's absolutely perfect for our needs! And don't let the little size fool you - there's plenty of room in there for last nights dinner on a full size plate or even a small pizza!!

I am very happy with this microwave; all of my baking utensils fit, including a bacon tray. I am short so really like the countertop height; I can see what is cooking! It is perfect.

Great little machine
on November 7, 2013
Posted by: brdfrk
from Corvallis, OR
I wanted a small microwave that would fit in my apartment easily. This microwave does the trick by making use of vertical space and nestling into a little area on my counter. I especially like that the door is high enough that I can have a bowl in front of the machine when I open the door, and I can see into the machine very easily while it is running. Best of all, it is a really cute little guy!Only complaints are that it takes a while to set longer run times, and that the beep when it is done is a little loud. However, I really appreciate it reminding me that it was done if I don't open the door after the first beep!

This product takes very little space and does everything it

I was looking for a microwave that does not dominate the whole counter and in this model I found even more - due to great design it fits in the corner.

Perfect Size
on February 12, 2015
Posted by: Mimi943
from Cape Cod, MA, United States
This little microwave is the perfect size for a small kitchen with limited counter space. Not only is the size appealing, but the features it includes far surpassed my expectations. Plus, the lower wattage has not been an issue for what I use the oven for, i.e., reheating left-overs, re-warming my morning coffee, etc. The timer and power settings were issues that were easily overcome. I am extremely pleased with the quality, performance and style of this microwave oven.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the fact that it fits in the corner and saves counterspace.
