Customer Ratings & Reviews

Overall I am satisfied with the microwave. REALLY QUIET! First time using it thought the magnetron was defective. Been accustomed to that classic HUM noise but it is barely discernible on this model. Heating time is fairly typical of any 1000W model. But a significant difference vs our previous 800W microwave. This is essentially a clone of the Midea MMO17S5AST. With a custom control panel (and IMO better layout + larger and vibrant VFD display). Like the convenient Express Heating function. Buttons 1-3 or the +30 sec will auto start for X min. Otherwise must press Cook Time + Start for a specific duration. There quick sheet instructions printed behind the door for Popcorn, Veggies, etc... The touchpad does require a firm press for buttons to register. For those with long nails this may not be best model for you. Button text can be difficult to read in dim lighting. Interior by far easier to clean than our old model. I do miss having a button for the door. With the handle there is a solid clunk. Features 2-stage cooking, allowing for setting specific time and power level for each stage. Probably not something will ever use but a nice-to-have. End buzzer is brief and unobnoxious. Has a reminder buzzer after 2 min if door hasn't been opened. And like that the touchpad beeps can be disabled if preferred. Only one level for light. Essentially functional as a night light, which is all I ever use it for anyway. It is not a standard bulb. Type is Z187. Not exactly proprietary but specific only to microwaves. Same bulb type also used for the interior lighting. Learned the hard way lighting circuit uses a switched Neutral! Unit must be unplugged to replace. Fuse is in the top right area behind the control panel. There is a hidden recessed screw at the top right corner to remove the control panel, which then lifts UP and pivot OUT. Exhaust fan noise is fairly typical. Has two levels which is basically loud and bit louder. Very little difference. Filter for recirculation is comically pathetic. So small and porous any function is may serve is moot. Fan is something we rarely use. Unless you have it exhausting outside it's function would be redundant. Door handle is only plastic. Should be fine for normal use but avoid aggressively yanking on it. And don't clean with anything abrasive or the paint will wear off. Listed specifications are incorrect. The rear cut-out height is 16-1/2". Bottoms tapers up a bit to 15-3/4"at the front. I purchased this model specifically because of the listed dimensions. We have a granite backsplash that was installed along with our old microwave which was a bit shorter (15-1/2"). While I have the tooling to cut it this still turned a 1/2 hr swap into a full day project. And a LOT of cleanup afterwards. I appreciate that this came packed with not just the standard foam but extra reinforcement at the corners. These are heavy and this alleviates common shipping damage. Bottom line this is an economical OtR microwave, that despite a few minor complaints (and BB spec listing) meets my expectations.

For the price compared to other expensive overranged microwaves. This one takes the spot. Had a GE for 4 years and it stopped heating up but still worked. Got the stainless steel version and i'm happy with my choice. The express timer is so convenient just by a button. And the food really heats up quickly because its a 1000 watts. However. There's one down side versus other microwaves i've used. There's a slight 2 to 3 second delay after pressing a button. Example Turning on the vent fans changing the speed or the bottom light. At first i find it very weird but overcame it. Some folks might find this annoying and some might say you get what you paid for. Not spending $200-$400 plus on no name brand microwave. All of them gonna break. I'm happy with this one.

Great microwave for a good price. Don’t expect premium finishes, but it gets the job done and looks good (at least while new).

This is a nice looking microwave. It is well packed. Comes with insulation templates and hardware. However some of the plastic components especially the door seems cheaply made. It is not hefty. As shown in the picture it's very easy to bend the plastic. That said it likely offers good value when it's on sale.

So far so good except you forgot to send the installation bracket. Because of my ingenuity i made the old one work. Remember to send the other folks thier bracket to hold microwave.

Measured twice fit real nice. looks great and has all the features anyone would want. quiet when in use, we cook as much as we can up to a full meal. I like the balanced blend of white cabinet and black panels. very satisfied with this product!!

It looks nice, good size, beautiful color easy to install

It's a good unit, but it has some minor things like the buttons not responding without sometimes giving them a bit tougher push. The fan speeds from hi to low are not really that different, still a bit loud. Other then that, the install was pretty straight forward and it works good.

Runs very quietly. A good value for the money. Perhaps a bit underpowered but gets the job done. Installation was quick and easy!

Bought this microwave on black Friday. Replaced a 28 yr old 700 watt microwave. Absolutely love this one. Bracket and template included. Easy install. Has option to turn off the beeping the buttons make. Only con is the light underneath isn't as bright as preferred. Is relatively quiet. Comes setup for recirculation but can change if need to

Great overall value. Easy install and all necessary features

I searched for a long time to find an over the range microwave for my park model kitchen. This one is the perfect size, with all the bells & whistles!! In fact, I'm buying it again for my summer place!

Was replacing a 20 year old over the range microwave and this fit the space like a glove. Works as it should. I do feel that the buttons are a little tough to push but I am sure we will get used to that.

Overall performance excellent so far. Was simple to understand the features. Heats quickly and thoroughly.

We stopped at the store in Newport News to find a replacement microwave. The salesperson was very polite and helpful. He asked us what we had and if we were ok with that. He said we have other models but the one you had seemed yo be right for you and your family.. He showed us a few models and thee we’dn said we also have a special right now on this model.. It was just right and fit over our stove .. We are very satisfied with it and how it’s working .

[Employee of bestbuy] Fits well and is easy to use. Overall a great replacement for the vent I had.

Item as Described. Easy to use. Sound level is very low.

Very pretty looks good easy to install as well to clean

Good microwave for the price. Does everything I need it to do. Simple and easy to use.

Similar microwaves went for an uncomfortably high price at other stores. Best buy seems to have done well building this house brand. I hope it serves me for many years to come.
