Gotta Have a Microwave!When my old (7 years old) microwave had a stubborn fit, I could have had a panic attack. But instead I logged onto Amazon and began shopping for a new one and reading the reviews. I received this one the next day and was able to get it into service right away. It is a heavy creature, though. I read the entire manual (well, the English part, that is) and was disappointed not to see any instructions on keeping the interior clean, but a splatter cover has taken care of that problem. Also, the microwave did have a chemical smell for several days. The wattage is a bit smaller than my previous microwave, but I just add 11 seconds each time. Overall, I am pleased with my new microwave so far.

Didn’t work. Returned. Didn’t work again – UPDATE: Microwave was fine, instruction manual was wrong!EDIT: The problem with this microwave turned out to be the instructions, and not the microwave itself. Amazon didn’t want it back, so I gave it away to someone who thought they didn’t need a microwave on which the power could be moderated. They started playing with it, and, apparently, you have to turn press the POWER button after you’ve already started cooking. That’s fine, but the instruction manual doesn’t tell you that. Also, I called Black and Decker to make sure I wasn’t doing anything wrong, and even they had the wrong information.I’d give the microwave five stars, except that people are inevitably going to be confused by the instruction book’s incorrect directions and want a refund. If the company produces a new manual, or if you’ve read this review and know what to do, it’s a great microwave for a great price.This would be a nice enough microwave, except that it seems to frequently arrive not in fully working order. I used it a couple of times, and was happy with it, but then I bought a frozen meal from Trader Joe’s that required me to set the microwave to half power for a few minutes. When I tried to do that, I realized that the “power” button did not work. I called Amazon for a replacement, and they sent one – and THAT one had the same issue. I even called Black and Decker to determine if I was somehow not pressing the button properly or if I was doing something wrong (the direction manual is sparse), but, no, I was doing everything right.If you order this item, which you shouldn’t, I strongly advice you to check each button before throwing away your packaging that you might need to return it.

So far so goodWorks like a charm. My prior microwave lasted 17 years. The next one I got (before this one) arrived broken so ordered this one. Should have gotten this one first. (Hope by posting this review I have not triggered a cascade of failure) (Yeah, I know that’s impossible)(is just a set of circumstances that seem linked)(but…) Anyway… IT WORKS. Stuff gets heated right.It’s a bit noisy when I shut the door but I can live with that. Nowhere near as loud as most restaurants these days.One aspect I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE Designers/MFG in the Microwave Clone Factory do is: >>> MAKE THE KEYPADS of the future machines WHITE or Silver but not BLACK. Black absorbs light and it is nearly impossible to see the numbers and labels.Regardless of the amount of light in the kitchen there is an issue. Not just with this ‘Brand’ ‘Style’ either. I’ve seen Microwaves at friend’s homes and they have the same problem. Not enough light and it needs a flashlight. TOO MUCH LIGHT and the keypad reflects so still cant read the numbers etc.Other than that – great for the price. No bells, whistles etc. It just works.

Small tabletop microwaveSize was right, looks good, and functions well. Only complaints are that it is somewhat difficult to open the door (have to push hard and also hold the microwave from moving) and that it continues to beep (5 times) even if you open the door and quickly remove the food and close the door). Other microwaves stop beeping once the door is opened. Overall, good for the price.

QuietMy last one lasted five years and I used it all the time. Replaced it with the same microwave. I’m happy with it.

turn table could have been better engineeredThe turn table mechanism is not well placed. It is easily shifted “offline” and difficult to recenter.

Nice MicrowaveI was hesitant when I hit the “buy” and didn’t read reviews. I received the microwave the next morning and honestly, it’s very nice and quiet. Happy I didn’t get a dud! I would recommend.
