seems fine for its size, but you shouldn’t have to rearrange the entire room just to plug it in. cord located in the back upper right side (when in front of the oven). cord is only about 3ft long. which may work if you have a dedicated space, we do not.

I used to have this old white 700W microwave and it was just a hassle. I kept it on top of my fridge. When it finally gave out, I picked this black one as a replacement. Finally, I can use the recommended cook times! 1000W is perfect. And black matches my counters so using this is much easier, more accessible. Good size, good price.

To purchase the store brand microwave, but I am so surprised and pleased with this microwave! I hope it lasts well because I have now purchased a Mainstay electric skillet. I hope I will be equally pleased with the skillet as I am the Mainstay microwave.

its a 1/4 of a mm too tall to fit under any cabinets, it says it needs at least a foot 12″clearance above . Very heavy and awkward to move- lift The cord was delivered loose on the back and has an extra short power cord , i cant use anywhere in my kitchen without an extension cord.

I bought to replace Hamilton Beach that caught fire. The old one had a timer button and I could set the time easily. This one does not. It works well for the items that are preset, but anything not preset listed, I have to choose one of them anyway and then add time. This can be a bit frustrating.

It’s fun to have a new microwave especially one that works as well. Is this one does it’s really easy to use and it cooks the food very well I love it.

This machine doesn’t have a time set button. All you can do is push the preset minute buttons 1-4 and add 30 second increments. Also, the power isn’t as strong as it says. 1 minute doesn’t heat up as much as a lower wattage microwave. Terrible feature, what kind of microwave doesn’t allow exact cooking time.

I am replacing a well used 1100w. I had specific space and measurements that new one would have to fit. I have only been using microwave for two days. Performance appears good, about as loud as any other I have used and I like the end sound as it is only one ding versus 5 on my old. Unfortunately, as someone else noted, the left front foot is slightly shorter on mine also, which causes it to teeter a bit when opening and you cannot punch in a cook time. The minimum time is 30 seconds. Buttons 1-6 auto start 1min-6min. Need 8 minutes? Push 30 second button 16 times. Need 2 minutes and 15 seconds? Can’t be done. You have to stand there and stop it.

I won’t even give one star this microwave vibrated so badly it made my hand numb in 3 seconds it overheats the outside top and sides get extremely hot it exhaust hot air out the side and makes a noise like a roaring plane fixing to crash I took it back

I purchased this microwave via internet. When unpacking the glass tray was broken . the glass tray was in the shipping box and not in the microwave. This could have been prevented.if the tray had been taped inside the microwave.. This made me give the 3 stars. Very poorly packaged. .
