    I bought this because of low price and design and couldn’t be happier. Fits one plate perfectly, defrosts then cooks in one setting. Intuitive controls, even the clock was easy to set. Lol.

    So far so good. The aesthetic style was not so important to me as the price and the very fact that it works. My old microwave display conked out, so I'm hoping this one lasts a bit longer.

    This is the 3rd and last item I will purchase from Best Buy. I purchased this as Open Box: Excellent. It was anything but. It arrived banged up, severely dented, scratched and scuffed. There was NO protective packing in the box. I immediately called customer service who couldn't/wouldn't help and when I called the store and asked to talked to a manager - I was told they were too busy to talk on the phone.

    It works really good. My favorite is that it can defrost food by weight so I can cook the meal in a short time.

    DONT MICROWAVE POPCORN

    Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    THIS IS TOO SMALL FOR A NORMAL SIZED BAG OF POPCORN. IT WILL CATCH ON FIRE. The popcorn bags will never fully rotate, they rub against the metalish panel in the side, and eventually catch fire. It makes a loud zapping noise then boom...flames. If you dont microwave popcorn you're chillin.

    Great quality and looks absolutely beautiful. This microwave is priced favorably and works extremely well. Perfect for small space or any room in the house. Perfect for college dorm room. and makes a perfect gift. I have it in my bedroom sitting on top of my red Insignia refrigerator that I highly recommend as well. Buy it now while it’s still in stock.

    I love these microwaves. I have used one for many years. Unfortunately, the heating element burned out, so I had to get a new one. I am glad that Best Buy still carries these retro-looking ones. It looks great with my antique decor. I do not believe this one is as powerful as my previous one but it is easy to operate, heats my food in a reasonable amount of time, looks great, and matches my kitchen, so I am very pleased with all its aspects. My only negative is the cherry red. Not much to be unhappy about in the scheme of things!

    The lack of number keys means there's a learning curve for this thing, but on the other hand it's a really cute conversation piece and I have found it quite reliable and easy to use (in fact I'm so used to the interface by now I briefly forgot how to use the number pad on a different model once). Once you have longer cooking times, you can only count in increments of thirty seconds. If you just want a microwave that does a good job and looks a little different and a little more fun than most, this is a great choice! Bonus points for the pull handle on the door.

    Sometimes the controls feel a little clunky. I think this product would benefit from more specific buttons (sometimes going too minimalist is not always the best). However, this functions well enough and it looks super cute. I got it due to its compact size and it works well in my very (see: too) small apartment kitchen. Recommend for small spaces but if you have a larger kitchen, I would go for something with more features.

    Excellent choice for the small space I have. I personally do not normally use a microwave however realized I needed something small/compact that could reheat small items or even just pop popcorn. You do have to read the manual to understand the time frames for the dials however that part is easy. The retro design is nice to for a bit of neat flare to any kitchen. Works fantastically!

    Adorable! The switches are a little unusual and take some getting used to since it's a dial and not a standard number pad, but it's totally worth it for the compact size and retro look. Fits my small space perfectly and works wonderfully.

    Soooo cool looking! We needed just a small microwave to fit in a custom cabinet, the only other one that fit is the one that we are replacing that rusted out in record time.. easy to use and love the retro look after watching the “Fallout” series.

    Wanted a small footprint microwave. Scored an out of the box deal (it had no damage) in a matching color to the retro mini frig. Delivery was fast - item works better than the full size one removed in my kitchen demo. Easy to understand without reading the manual. Five Star purchase. Highly recommend this - will work in a variety of settings/uses.

    I’m a tractor operator, my cabinets are small, but this just happened to fit if I dismantled the tv mount, I did the work, and I’m content…We are limited to what we can utilize, although this was lower power, I see minimal difference, maybe 30-90 seconds more cooking time, but in my line this is PURE convenience and I give good ratings….When you are forced to be patient and utilize what will work, an hour of your install time to get a microwave more powerful by 50-100 watts and a price that’s less than 1/5 of a custom microwave for truckers for a good one It’s a heck of a bang for the buck…my lack of one star is for one reason, when powering on, it dips down then up….my inverter is about 3000 watts so it runs it with no problem, therefore it’s something of a starting mechanism in the power supply, but once it dips back up at start, it’s consistent No issues yet
