This is overall a mediocre microwave. I read the reviews that warned of the problems described below but went ahead with the purchase because of the size and price. Overall, I'm happy with the purchase, but it's really only for tiny studio apartments like mine. If you have space, I'd recommend going with a larger microwave.

Pros: Very small so it fits great in my tiny studio apartment. Buttons and door work fine. Good kitchen timer.

Cons: Very low power so microwave times are longer than normal. At times heats items unevenly (top will be cooked while bottom will be frozen). Internal tray rotates, but microwave is so small that normal sized plates or square plates will bump into the walls and stop the rotation.

Smaller than i expected and that's great for me. Does what a microwave should do. Even though it is compact, it can fit a big plate and that's a plus. It's also sleek and elegant.

I used this microwave for over a year when I lived in an apartment with a tiny kitchen. It worked really well, never technical problems, and saved me loads of time.

Bought this microwave for a trip to Yellowstone NP in June '10. Our rented cabin had no cooking facilities. The unit performed flawlessly and awaits my next trip.

Bought at the end of August and just died on me tonight when I was making popcorn. Really weird. I tried to open the door after the popcorn got done but instead of the door opening the microwave just turned on by itself with the microwave door button pushed in with no way to turn it off. Luckily the actual door did not open but the only way to turn the microwave off is to unplug it from the wall. As soon as I plug it back in it starts up again. Hope I did not get a dose of radiation if the door was not shut all the way......

At first things were going well...but just as my father always taught me...you get what you pay for, son. This was cheap, easy, and quick fix for replacing another, more expensive microwave that finally died after 4 years. It barely made it 4 months. The extra $20 might make a huge difference. I learned my lesson.

I bought this for my son's dorm room. Works adequately. However, I could/should have waited and picked up a little bigger model when on sale.

Warms up food fairly well. Popcorn does not do well in this microwave -- either burning or trying to stop to prevent burning and hardly any popcorn is popped.

I've had this microwave for over a month now and it has been working without any problems. It is perfect for tight spaces. Has all the standard features that one would expect and power also seems adequate. Interior size is also large enough for most utensils.

I'm a student and bought this microwave since it was small enough to fit in my kitchen and was very cheap. It was so not worth it. Started to turn itself off while cooking my food after only heating for 4 minutes. Unplugging it and plugging back in did nothing, I'd just have to wait 15 minutes for it to be usable again. Finally died permanently about one month after I bought it. What a waste of money! I will not be purchasing from this company again.

Product works great, but the sticker that comes on the window is difficult to remove
