Customer Ratings & Reviews

Our only issue was how the top inside got corroded so soon. We've had many microwaves over the decades, and over the years had to be replaced due to mechanical issues, never due to the coating getting corroded for normal use in less than 2 years. We used the same care for all previous microwaves, wiping it down etc, this is a first, so it seems to be more a Farberware issue than the fault of the customer. I contacted Farberware, they said they don't see it often (but have seen it), and said moisture or food can deteriorate the coating. There was nothing about this in their owner manual. They didn't take any responsibility, or offer a refund to replace, even after I expressed concern the chemicals from the top coating may have gotten in our food when heating it up, they just said sorry and that it can happen, and to be sure to wipe it down (which we do). The positives: It is a beautiful unit in the red, we like the handle to open the door, instead of the push button which can break over time. It's easy to use, perfect size, but I should have bought a warranty, then I wouldn't have had to pay for a replacement in less than 2 years. So if you purchase it, keep an eye on the top inside, and get a warranty. (if it hadn't corroded on top, I would have given it 5 stars) I struggled to answer Yes or No to recommend, I wish there was a not sure answer, but I put yes because it looks great and works well except for the one issue, but only if you buy a warranty. And no microwave lasts forever, but should last longer without any deterioration.

Looks good, love the red. Cooks good and easy to operate. However, the inside lighting is cheap, does not illuminate entire inside as my old microwave did. The main complaint though is that it doesn't have an exhaust fan. The inside steams up so bad you can't see what you are cooking thru the window. Had I known this didn't have a fan I would not have purchased. Faberware, come on, what I let down.

no comments!!! it was a horrible experience all carriers mess up

This unit is loud. This much louder than prior units we have owned. We like the door handle rather than the button to open the unit. My wife likes the dark interior thinking it will hide the discoloration that happens long term on the light interior. But it is rather dark with the light on. We do notice moisture buildup in the unit from longer cook cycles. That may be due to the dark color. We are not sure if this unit vents as well as other units. We like that the light comes on when you open the door. Operation is simple. Unit heats well. Compact unit, nice size interior, 1,000 watt cooking.

Pretty in the kitchen but quality nothing like my old microwave that lasted 20 years. New one is very loud, dark inside even with light and filmize frame.

The casing on the microwave is very thin so the walls rattle when it first starts up the door is loud and clingy it must be placed in a open spot because it's Heat producing Factor if not for its color I would have purchased something else

It does the trick. It's a nice little microwave, but very loud, even by microwave standards.

It’s nosier than what I expected. It does heat up and work.
