    It works; and with a retro look. If microwaves were available 75 years ago, this is what it would look like.

    Beautiful retro designs, what else can I say, it’s a microwave, it does what it’s supposed to do while looking amazing on the counter. If I was to complain about something it would be the small window but it’s part of the retro look.

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts! The retro design sounds fantastic, and it's great to hear that the microwave is performing well. The small window might be a bit of a trade-off for that stylish look, but it sounds like it's worth it. If you have any other insights or tips about using it, we'd love to hear them!

    As long as you buy this understanding that what you are buying is an inexpensive, tiny, low power, but very cute microwave, it's great. Some of the controls are... let's say not intuitive, but it's workable. The vibe is great. And, well, it microwaves things; what else would it do?

    Super cute microwave! I think it takes a bit longer to get food hot, but I don’t mind at all. It’s a bit smaller than my old one so it’s nice if you have limited space.

    Cute as a button, bought the matching refrigerator too. Cooks well, as quickly as bigger microwaves. Controls are a little quirky and you'll want to refer to the instruction book. And save it in your kitchen drawer.
