We have owned this microwave for about a month and it works perfectly. We feel it was a very good buy.

I only gave it four stars because my husband believes it cooks bacon slower than our old microwave. I think it cooks bacon at the same speed. I cooked bacon in our old oven, two weeks before we got the new one. It isn't instantaneous in either oven. It takes about six minutes in both.

The oven is attractive and because it's a medium size oven, fits nicely into the microwave stand we already had. Of course, I measured before I ordered it.

We only paid $89 for this oven (it was on sale).

I really like the look of this microwave, it looks classy. First you set the clock which displays a nice green color, its pretty simple, then put your food on the turn table and set the minutes that you want it to cook. Next set the power level 10 up too 100% then press start.

It took 2 minutes to melt a block of velveeta at a 100% power level for our nacho's and cheese on movie night.

First, my favorite feature: Reminder beeps. Once microwaving completes it beeps to let you know. Then, if you do not go and get the food every few minutes it beeps again. It keeps doing that until you open the door (though maybe it stops eventually?). I find this very helpful because I get engrossed by the computer or caught up in a phone conversation and sometimes forget that I had something cooking in the oven.

One little complaint: My previous microwave would add a minute to the cooking time if there was no time on the dial and I hit Start. This Sanyo requires one first type it a time, hit Start, and then only the second hit of Start adds another minute. So one has to enter some time interval before hitting Start. Again, this is a minor complaint. Otherwise this unit works well and I recommend it.

I've owned this microwave for over 2 years. It cooked everything well, is attractive if you're into the stainless look.

Now for the bad... Stainless was hard to keep clean. If you enter the digits fast and then push Start, it will always add an additional minute. Very annoying. It overheated a few times. The last few days of owning this scared me. Whenever I'd use it, it would smell like plastic burning. Finally, the unit turned off as if it overheated. I unplugged it for an hour, then plugged it back in. No luck. I figured it blew the internal fuse. I took the casing off, and found the 20A ceramic fuse was still OK and intact. But, just to the left of the fuse was a burned wire. I was shocked!!!

Do not buy this model! Made in China. Fire hazard!!! User beware!!!

I won this microwave as a prize at work and ended up using it when our previous one died. It worked great for a year but then overheated after using it for 10 minutes 2x in a row. This was unusual. About an hour later it started working again, but the next day sparks flew out of it when I opened the door to start heating something. I don't know how much they cost initially, but if it's really cheap it's fine for getting a year's worth of use out of it. However, I wouldn't recommend it due to the sparks.

Very satisfied customer. Easy to operate. At first a little hesitant on the red, but I love the color. Does everything I wanted it to do.

I have not had this product for long yet but it looks nice is easy to control and seems to work very good.I am happy with this product so far. If it is still working the way it is now after a year it will get five stars.

When I first got this microwave it was dented and didn't work. It gave off a strange odor when I tried to use it. I sent it back and it was replaced without any problem. The one I have now works fine, but it is noisy with a machinery hum when it cooks. Other than that I have no problems with it. It has more power than my old microwave although it is smaller. I mostly use the microwave to warm things up or heat water so I am satisfied with it.
