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!

The microwave is small (just like I needed) and fits well into my space. It works well and all of the functions are great. Looks nice and is very stylish.

Great little microwave! I don't love that you have to unlock it after each item you heat, but other than that it checks all the boxes.
