[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice microwave works as it should…..only problem is the button for the cook time/power is very confusing.
Still don’t know how to set power level!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] No frills, big and clunky but it gets the job done. Cannot stop the tray turner without pulling the plate turner gear!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] PLUSES: Fits; Heats Well; Looks Good
OPPORTUNITIES: Smaller Rotating Plate; Reduced Heating Function Confusion.
This is a replacement appliance for my 20+ year old previous microwave oven. It was purchased as part of a kitchen appliance replacement package. I fit perfectly in the hole left by the old unit. With its dark glass door trimmed by aluminum, it looks good. It heats and performs well in use. It has a good feature set.
The rotating plate is smaller than the unit it replaces, but it's big enough to accommodate all the plates I've use it with. My only other grippe is with the way the function is selected for reduced heating. When you select the heating time and temperature, it flashes "10" when you hit the start button, which is a little confusing at first.

Separate start and power level
on August 14, 2025
Posted by: Frank
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Simple enough. A basic microwave. The power level and start button as one is not practical and and confusing to operate . Wattage is basically
The microwave is a decent basic model, but the combined power/start button makes operation confusing. It would be more user-friendly if the power and start functions were separate buttons.
