    Great purchase

    I bought this to replace the overhead microwave, it’s clean and sleek and takes up very little counter space. It’s easy to use, only thing is making it easier to unlock/lock the door for quick release. Safety feature well placed.

    Great for the price!

    I needed a new microwave after 30 years. I wanted a small, lower wattage, easy to operate one. This definitely fits the bill. Easy to use, works well. Size is great. Didn't give five stars because the door is a little jicky and rough closing. But not worth returning. It builds up a lot of moisture on the inside when cooking longer than 2 minutes, but I just wipe it out after I finish cooking. So far, I am very happy with my purchase.

    HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

    BEST microwave I've ever had!!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!! Great price, good fit for my countertop. Functions well. Good price range. No issues noted. Very easy to use. The "child lock" feature is NOT a problem, as it can very easily be "re-set", permanently, w/o the child lock feature. Fast delivery and great looking product it does close loud but otherwise good quality I have been using it for months now with no issues.

    Great Microwave

    This microwave is great. It's a little different than my previous ones, it's a little bigger than my last one and the door locks each time you use it, so you have to unlock it when it finishes each cycle Heats food great, very quiet, you almost don't hear it.

    great product

    I bought this microwave a little over two years ago, and honestly, it still works like brand new. I use it almost every day for heating, defrosting, and even cooking small meals, and it’s never given me a single problem. The performance is super consistent — everything heats evenly and quickly. The design is sleek and easy to clean, which I really appreciate. The control panel is simple to use, and the build quality still feels solid, just like the first day I got it. I’m really impressed with how durable it’s been. Definitely worth every penny — highly recommend it!
