[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this 60 days ago and I absolutely LOVE IT - it fits beautifully in the corner, and it's just perfect for all my needs. Very Happy!
The absolute worst microwave I have ever owned. It lasted a couple of months before it started glitching. Half the time when you turn it on it won’t let you start the microwave no matter what you do. The other times it does work, the timer/countdown on the microwave will sky rocket up or down. Would never recommend to anyone. Most frustrating piece of garbage ever
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent RV/solar/boat microwave. Takes full size plate, heats very quickly, probably more power than its 700W rating. Great controls too.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought my first countertop microwave more than 10 years ago. It is still performing at 100%. So, I passed it on to our grandson for college use and bought another to replace it. Still loving it!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Only had this for about a month, but it was just what we needed. We have a small kitchen and this was the perfect microwave for us. The rounded back allows placement in a corner. It's light enough that we can push it back against the wall when NOT in use. It's working perfectly so far.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] l bought this because the one that I already had - the exact same product - had started buzzing inside and flashing lights on one section of the left side while it was on. No idea how to fix that, it was purchased several years old, so I just replaced it. I expect that in several years this one will go haywire also. The thing that is VERY important to me is that the back of the microwave is curved so it fits in a corner. Excellent for my kitchen. Hope they are still being made when I need to re-buy.
