I just got this thing yesterday and put it in my kitchen, which looked pretty nice.
It is not a really big microwave, and it has less choices for heating then my generic microwave, which is in storage overseas for the next 19 months.
I do not regret to have chosen this microwave versus the Emerson, since I have seen other Emerson items " dying ". I figured, I pay a little more, and get it in red, to match the rest of my red kitchen appliances.
Once I opened up the box, there was a small dent and also a some scratches.
It is no big deal, because the performance is pretty good.
It heats up food faster than my " generic " microwave, so I rather have this one.
The color is a nailpolish,ketchup,lipstick darker red, and not as shiny as it is shown,It is shiny, but not metallic in color.
The one thing my daughter pointed out was , that she scratched it with her fingernail somehow, and there was also another scratch on it, when I took it out of the box.
It was packed well, but I do not know, maybe the delivery and packaging was pretty rough...
Anyway, the paint is really sensitive and fingerprints are inevitable, so you gotta polish it like a car a lot. The inside of it is taller, but not that wide, but large enough to thaw up an average sized chicken at the max.
I am giving it a four star, because the paint is like a woman's bad red nailpolish, it is sensitive.
Other than that is so new, I will keep it the rest of the stars right now for it, because it does heat really well.
I really bought it for the color and the previous review.
But I would not buy a microwave online anytime soon again, because it is better to buy some things by being able to evaluate the interior/exterior hands on.
Pictures deceive us sometimes often.
i recommend this item, if you have a red kitchen, but just take in consideration the paint of it is really weak to touch.
