    When my daughter went off to college we let her take out microwave for her dorm room, since we were in need of another I found this one at a great price! It looks great in the kitchen, is easy to use, and works better than the old one we had. Now she wants to trade me!

    Best retro chic microwave

    Love this retro chic microwave, perfect for what I need, fit on top of my mini fridge too! It’s easy to use and heat up food very nicely, it would take a bit longer but from a small microwave it’s very understandable. Love the child lock feature, for those who’s afraid they’ll accidentally turn it on (because of the dial) you can easily lock it when not in use (just press the cancel button for a few seconds). I’m one of those paranoid person who’s afraid that one of my pets would accidentally turn the dial while I’m sleeping, well I’m at ease knowing that lock feature exist. Get this microwave, you won’t regret it!

    Its definitely not a eye sore. It goes with our kitchen perfectly. Besides looks, there is no keypad, you have to turn the knob to add 10 seconds. Power, it is very weak. Popcorn takes about 6min, heating up food takes about 2 or 3 trys at 5min to get all of it warm

    Very Cool, But Got Hot Rod Red and Not Vinyl Black

    The Galanz - Retro 0.7 Cu. Ft. Microwave came in Hot Rod Red and not Vinyl Black and that is okay, it is also shiny like patent leather.. So, first aesthetical impressions-it is retro looking with dials vs. buttons or touchscreens, its shape is rounded versus squared off on the corners, has a small and compact profile at .7 cubic feet, thus taking up less real estate on your surface. Just a side note, I did read in the user manual that this microwave should have sufficient airflow around it for correct operation, almost 8 inches above and 2 inches on either side. This is a 700 watt microwave so it may not be as powerful as what is traditionally the main kitchen microwave, but for basement kitchenettes, dorm rooms, master bedroom beverage centers, your small business lunchroom or office, etc. this is the perfect size and power and the price tag makes this very affordable. Set up, including the time, was easy peasy. The time can b set up as either a 12 or 24, military, hour cycle. There are 6 presets-A-1, beverage, A-2, Potato, A-3, Reheat food based on weight, A-4, Frozen Dinners, A-5, Popcorn , and A-6, Pizza based on weight. So, there is also a weight adjustment on the dial to do that, too. Overall, while this is a small, compact unit, I can say that it has many nice features that we see in a more expensive unit. Oh, the warranty period is one year

    Groovy Retro Hot Rod Red Microwave

    Not Vinyl Black. Got this little microwave in Hot Rod Red for my kitchen counter but despite the compact size (less than 11 inches high by 18" long by 14" deep) it takes up more space than I expected. Construction seems sturdy and has a handle to pull open the door instead of a push button to wear out. Has a 9.6 inch turntable that will handle a plate and a window to watch it turn. Easy to remove glass turntable and roller ring to wash any spills. I like the bright clock that can be set to 24 hour cycle military time. Since this is only 700 watts I mainly used it to reheat cups of coffee, warm up take out food or cook small food items using the quick start dial. Press Quick Start dial once and it adds 30 seconds at full power. Each press adds 30 more seconds to the total time. Turn it to the right and it has 10 second increments. Lots of auto cook presets that I never figured out since they seemed to have codes that involved multiple steps to use. Easy to find CANCEL button in the middle of the control panel if you make a mistake. I rarely use anything but the 30 second quick button on any microwave to cook full power for desired length of time. Power button to cook items that need reduced power for longer cooking. I'm going to move this Hot Rod Red microwave to my office for work lunches and coffee warmups. Never heard of this brand Galanz before but if you like the Retro look and need a handy little microwave this might be the one for you!

    Great Microwave With Style!

    If you're tired of the same old boring, no character, status quo square to heat up your food… This is the microwave for you!! I don’t know there is much difference in the heating mechanism of microwaves to heat food in general in any microwave, but this unit really has style and features that are great! I love the retro feel of this unit and the knob/dial is awesome! The knob/dial is great because you can easily turn it to the right to add the cook time in 10 second increments and push it in and off it goes. Other microwaves I have had you have to punch each number to get the right amount of time and then hit a start button. Then test the food with a finger (now you have a greasy finger) and then add more time until it’s at the right temp. All that button pushing with a greasy index finger from temp checking the food are gone! With this Galanz microwave, I can add time with a twist of the knob with the side of my hand, then temperature test the food with my finger and bump with my side of my hand on the dial to restart the microwave and no grease on anything! I really like that. Super functional. It also has some presets settings when you twist the dial left for coffee or popcorn which is nice. I also like the size of the unit. A full-size diner plate will fit in it but it doesn’t take up a ton of room on my counter top. Galanz also has a matching 4.4- and 4.0-Cubit Ft. mini fridges that match the microwave which would be perfect for an office, dorm or apartment or home bar area! Super cool. I plan to pick one up for sure for my office. Another nice touch is the child lock. Over all I really like this microwave. It does a great job of heating up the food evenly and has a ton of style and the knob/dial is great engineering!

    It has that nostalgic/ retro look of a toaster oven. Yet it's a microwave . Has everything that a microwave wave should have except a touch pad. Instead it's a knob and you turn it to add the time and then press start. Very simple yet elegant design. If you're looking for something different and well built it's mostly metal unlike some other microwaves I've had, you will want this one. I have the red one. I warmed up my food had full plate put 2 minutes and it was hot. Im going to look into getting the matching mini fridge!

    Recommended for really small kitchens. Well built. Metal frame. Simple design. Arrived quickly. Only 2 VERY small complaints: 1) Dial is touchy... better design would have distinct clicks when increasing cooking time. 2) Letters on spin dial are not always upright. They spin with the dial and won't spin back to upright when cooking time is done.

    Been looking for a microwave that won't be so much and found this on sale and decided to buy it. Never had any issues with it I love the look of it, the navigation is nice, the size is smaller, and surprised at the quality of this micowave. Overall recommend grabbing this for the money and quality.

    I bought this for a tiny kitchen in a she shed. I had owned another older Galanz model that could be difficult to use because it had dials. That said it had big cooking power for its diminutive size. It also had recessed feet making it really easy to fit in almost anywhere. This updated version is a beautiful color and has all the digital modern conveniences while maintaining the power, size and use ability of its predecessor. I am very pleased! If you are looking for a mini microwave workhorse, this is it. Look no further!

    Stinkin' Cute Microwave!

    My little blue Galanz retro styled microwave is a great addition to my kitchen. It does everything I need a microwave to do, and it's so stinkin' cute! The simplicity of the controls is a real plus for me. It's visually uncluttered, and I prefer not to have scads of buttons and settings that I'll never use anyway. The "Bebob Blue" color is perfect with the decor of my vintage kitchen. Overall, it's just what I was looking for!
