[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was looking for a space-saving countertop microwave and this one is a winner. The only feature I would change is adding a push button door opener, rather than needing to pull on the door. We don't do much or sizeable microwaving, but when we need or want to, this has sufficient features to meet the needs of two retirees.
We bought one these, at least 7 yrs ago, just for the two of us and it has been the best thing ever! It's turntable is plate size only, so it won't hold casserole dishes, but if you are just looking for a quick warm up a plate of food, or thaw meat, etc., this is a great deal. Plus it saves room by fitting into a corner!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this microwave 4 months ago and have been loving it so much! My kitchen has VERY limited counter space, so I wanted something that would take up the least amount of room without sacrificing quality. This microwave is perfect for our home! Two things to note:
1. It looks a bit like an old-fashioned TV in the corner of our space. We've had a few house guests mention this - if that's a turn off for you, that's important to know. I think it's CUTE! 2. The door to the microwave opens really easily, BUT sometimes the entire microwave shifts when I open the door. I would've recommended they weight the base a bit more so the whole thing doesn't move when the door opens. 3. The door opens right to left (hinges on the left). This is perfect for my kitchen, but it would be very annoying/a bad fit for me if it opened the opposite way because the hinges stop the door from opening at about 90º.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased the microwave as we wanted something tiny for our cottage that would tuck into a corner. It works great for our needs. If you cook or use large items this is not for you as the interior is even smaller than the outside. If you want to just reheat or pop in a cup for tea this is a great small size.
I’ve had this microwave for several years— @ least 4– and it’s a wonderful oven. I bought it specifically to fit in a corner because of limited counter space. Looks more like a countertop TV than a microwave. It is perfect fit. So glad I googled around and found it!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had to replace my old microwave and only have limited counter space so this is the perfect size and does everything I want
