What Customers Are Saying

This compact microwave is praised for its space-saving design that fits well in small kitchens. Customers highlight its convenient features like accommodating standard dinner plates, simple controls, and child lock. However, some report issues with the interior light or turntable failing after a year or two, and a few experienced safety concerns like sparking or fires. While suitable for those with limited space, buyers should be aware of the potential reliability problems.

Terrific compact microwave

Would Recommend

I have had this microwave for five years and it has worked perfectly. It is the only size who’s width will fit in my cabinetry. I hope you keep this model in stock as it is reliable and the only one I can find that fits a corner perfectly and works so well. I hope you continue to make this model for many years as it is an only option do to its narrow size.

Caught fire in same place as others

Would Not Recommend

Happy Easter, scary experience! Warming food for family dinner, begins sparking waves like metal is in there, opened the door and had burnt in the same place as others. This unit had minimal use & was well taken care of. No more whirlpool for us.

Disappointed

Would Not Recommend

I bought this last May to fit in a small space in my kitchen. Today the door melted, I guess the heat from the stove was too much, which seems odd for a kitchen appliance. Bummer for a microwave priced higher than many. It also bugged me that I couldn't enter the exact cook time I wanted. RIP

Fire

Would Not Recommend

I absolutely loved this microwave until a very scary incident occurred. The microwave caught fire during a very normal and routine use for us. I have only had the unit a few of years and it seems difficult to replace as it always out of stock. This was expensive to only last a few years.

Awful do not buy it

Would Not Recommend

The absolute worst microwave I have ever owned. It lasted a couple of months before it started glitching. Half the time when you turn it on it won’t let you start the microwave no matter what you do. The other times it does work, the timer/countdown on the microwave will sky rocket up or down. Would never recommend to anyone. Most frustrating piece of garbage ever

Great RV/Solar/Boat microwave

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent RV/solar/boat microwave. Takes full size plate, heats very quickly, probably more power than its 700W rating. Great controls too.

Space-saving workhorse!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought my first countertop microwave more than 10 years ago. It is still performing at 100%. So, I passed it on to our grandson for college use and bought another to replace it. Still loving it!

Fits perfectly in our small kitchen.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Only had this for about a month, but it was just what we needed. We have a small kitchen and this was the perfect microwave for us. The rounded back allows placement in a corner. It's light enough that we can push it back against the wall when NOT in use. It's working perfectly so far.

It has a life-span.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] l bought this because the one that I already had - the exact same product - had started buzzing inside and flashing lights on one section of the left side while it was on. No idea how to fix that, it was purchased several years old, so I just replaced it. I expect that in several years this one will go haywire also. The thing that is VERY important to me is that the back of the microwave is curved so it fits in a corner. Excellent for ...

Have had two of these in the past 4 years or so. Both started sparking and flaming under normal use-food covered, etc. Have read similar reviews. Would not recommend buying this.
