We've had this microwave for a little over 2 weeks. We were looking for a 1000w microwave. We've had and used more powerful ones and I don't want to have to adjust the power level every time I cook something. I liked the look of this one and the Sanyo name and even though no one had reviewed it I decided to try it. Consumer Reports gave this microwave a very good rating for heating evenness and noise (which is important to me). They scored it lower on defrosting (which I rarely ever use) and ease of use for the lack of a one touch sensor feature.

I think it works just great. It is exactly what I was looking for, a medium size countertop microwave that cooks evenly at a very good price. My husband and I eat lunch at home and I keep a lot of frozen and shelf stable meals on hand. This microwave hasn't fried or dried out anything I've thrown at it. I don't care about a sensor reheat. I just look at the instructions, enter the time and go. If we are reheating say, mashed potatoes, we usually cook them, stir and cook them some more if they need it anyway. On my other microwaves I actually thought that the sensor made many food items too hot.

This microwave plays melodies, I'd never seen that before and it will wait and if you don't open the door after a few minutes it will sound off again. That is a great feature for me because I am forever heating up a cup of coffee, getting busy and finding it in the microwave when I go to heat something up later! I would recommend this microwave to you. I haven't defrosted anything in it so I can't help you there.

As always, shopping with Amazon was easy and shipping was quick.

I received a Sanyo Microwave as a gift over 30 years ago. When it was finally fininshed after 20 years, I purchased another one for myself. Now, my son needed a microwave, so I sent him the best!
