small footprint; works great; cute; excellent Abt service
Just got this yesterday. Used it several times with satisfying results.
Note: The five stars are for the oven. I find product ratings based on seller service are useless when I'm trying to decide whether to buy something. I'd like to comment that, in the case of Abt, the service was excellent. Despite the free shipping for this large, heavy box, the oven arrived satisfyingly quickly. The outer box was impeccable, and the inside was well padded. Abt's return policy is also fair.
Pros:
amusing design; good for corner diagonal placement
small footprint
bright interior light
quiet operation
large enough turntable for dinner plate
tall enough inside for covered casserole dish
sturdy turntable support
handy 30-second start-button timer; hope the button holds up, because I'll use it a lot
easy +/- timer increment works fast or slow depending on how long button is held
700 watts, but heated as quickly as 1000 watt...
Excellent as a corner counter top microwave
The unique rounded design allows this microwave to fit easily into a corner. It's pretty tall though so measure your location before ordering it to ensure it will fit. Overall this is a great unit for conveniently warming up food. It lacks the ability to set a cooking time directly. You basically need to keep pressing a 30 second button which keeps adding 30 seconds to the cook time. And it beeps every time you press a button and the beeping is not mutable - meaning you will hear it all the time. So if you're looking for a serious cooking microwave - this is likely not the one. But for simple quick heating jobs - this unit works well. I am happy with it.
Decent
This microwave is fine. It is not great. It takes three and a half minutes to warm up a cup of coffee, but since that is its only function on our counter it is doing its job, just slower than some of the more powerful ones. Its size is definitely a plus and fits in a wee corner. Its not having more programable numbers is annoying as one has to hold the button as the time counts up incrementally, but for a cup warmer it will do.
