Easy openI purchased this exact microwave about 10 years ago. The initial reason that I bought it was for my mom To be able to open it easily. It has z handle and not a button you have to push. It heats really well. Super easy to clean and looks great. When my first one died, I was thankful that it was still in production and ordered it immediately. Surprisingly, it wasn’t alot more expensive than my first one.

Nice and very powerfulI like that it is stainless steal so it won’t rust out like my old Hamilton Beach one did. It is so easy to clean. Just wipe down with a damp paper towel. It cooks great,clock is right on the button. Came packed very well and with great care. Also does not show fingerprints SS inside and out side. Great price and a fantastic 3 YEAR WARRANTY. This is a great choice if you need a new microwave. Cuisinart CMW-100 IS THE BEST NO NEED TO TRY THE REST.

I’m loving this microwave. It’s the best one I ever had.. It looks so good in my kitchen.The media could not be loaded.
The metal is so easy to clean both inside and out… It looks great in my kitchen, plus it matches my coffee maker which is also a Cuisinart.😄 Well worth the money spent…

Powerful And Well-Made MicrowaveSo I bought this Cuisinart microwave six years ago. I’ve only needed to use two buttons on it, the “Start +30 sec,” and the “Stop/ Clear,” button. That’s all you really need. Does anyone actually use all those other buttons?— DESIGN —This is a clean and simple stainless steel and black design. The buttons are on a flat plastic surface that covers the actual physical button mechanism; this makes it very easy to clean as there aren’t individual buttons to wipe around. The bottom legs can be rotated so you can adjust them for an uneven surface. The window to see your food is clear and it’s easy to view how things are cooking. The handle to open it works without much physical effort. It’s an all around nice design that would work well in most kitchen.— MICROWAVE FOOD COVER —Food covers are a miracle product in helping the inside of your microwave remain splatter free. I have a
Nordic Ware Microwave 10.5 Inch Spatter Cover
and the simplicity and functionality of it is a required microwave accessory. When the cover gets dirty, give it a hand-wash and you’re done. No need to wipe the inside of the microwave.— CLEANING —For those times you actually have to clean the insides, I discovered a handy trick. Cut half a lemon (or cut a whole lemon), squeeze all the juice into a small bowl, add some water (1/4 cup or less), put the lemon juice along with the squeezed lemon in a bowl in the center of the platter, and microwave for three minutes. The water will steam the insides, and the citric acid from the lemon and juice will clean and loosen up any dried food on the inside. Food should wipe off easily after.I subtracted a star because the microwave got weird on me one time and started turning on by itself. I wasn’t sure if it was a power surge or whatever, but I didn’t use it for a few days and it has since worked without any issues.This microwave has lasted me through these last six years and a couple of apartment moves. I hope it continues to work for many years to come. Recommended.

THINK TWICEI probably reviewed every make and model of microwave Amazon offers before deciding on the CMW-100. I wanted a handle; I didn’t need as large a capacity (2.0 or 2.2) as previously. I needed something I could lift! I read all the reviews for this model and ultimately decided, because it supposedly offered everything my Sharp Carousel had and because of its reputation, that it would be a good selection. I’ve been using it for a week to heat water for coffee or tea and cook some really simple meals.In order to specify more than the 1- to 6-minute “express” time (plus the extra 30 second bonus button), you have to tell it you want Full Power first, by pushing that button. Then, it will allow you to enter the specific number of minutes and seconds you actually want. At the end of the cycle, it will beep Very Loudly 5 times then revert to the clock. Okay, I am old and getting older so, now and then, I do forget that I put something in when I’ve gone off to fill my wait time with one task or another. The Sharp used to flash “End” until the door was opened, which I much prefer. The Sharp also allowed me to enter exactly the number of minutes and seconds right off the bat, push the start button, and, voila! Change is hard. Ask anyone. I am, however, underwhelmed by what this mw offers and how to get that from it. The handle has to be given a sharp tug in just the right way for it to stay where I put it in the first place, and it has to be closed in such a way as to not cause premature malfunction of the inner latch. It is only the face and interior of the mw that is stainless. I do like the interior a lot. The cabinet, however, is painted to resemble ss. It came with one of those cursed stickers right at the top front edge that would not remove smoothly. After applying a lot of olive oil and waiting an hour, I managed to damage the finish, using just a dull fingernail. I am not pleased.Now, about that Sharp Carousel … 10 years or more of fantastic results, super simple operation, one not too loud but long beep. During operation, however, almost as loud as an airhorn. I’m not really sure what Cuisinart’s reputation is based upon because it is my first product under their label, but the brand name was not even a consideration. Just need to see how long this one holds up.As if Amazon actually reads these, I’d like to add that I would have tried to answer some of the questions about this model of this product, but they seemed to think that bunching up all the questions for about 3 or 4 or was it 5 different models, all with different features, was a good idea. Ha!

Looks great, works well but you need to fix the noise…There were many microwaves with more features, but we wanted a stainless steel look and needed a microwave that wasn’t too deep. There aren’t many microwaves with both a stainless steel front AND stainless steel sides. For our purposes, primarily heating up leftovers, this microwave works extremely well. I would have rated this a 5 if we didn’t have noise problems. About 4 months after we purchased the unit, we started hearing a loud vibrating noise that grated on our nerves like fingernails on a chalk board. We lived with it for a couple of months because we could occasionally move it and it would stop for a day or two. We thought of getting it repaired, but Cuisinart has a “limited warranty” which means it would have cost us almost half the price of a new one just to fix it under warranty.I decided to fix it myself. First, to open the case you need a t10 (torx) security bit. This is not a regular torx bit, but one with a hole in the center. Fortunately, I’m a tool geek and I had one. You remove the four screws on the back and one on the side with this bit and then lift up the cover from the back and pull it off. (When you put it back, make sure the front top and sides fit into the proper grooves.) Upon testing it with the cover open, I found the vibrating noise coming from the big heavy capacitor. It is attached by four regular phillips head screws at the bottom. Loosen the two screws towards the center of the microwave and remove the two screws close to the side. I put three very thin self adhesive neoprene pads on the loose side. Then I screwed the capacitor back and put the cover back on. It worked! The noise is gone. Be careful if you turn on this unit while the cover is off. Yes, you have to do this to identify where the noise is coming from, but there is high voltage if you touch the wrong thing. So be careful.Now that the noise is fixed, we can enjoy the unit again.

Handsome Appliance, Built to last, Easy to Use, Powerful!This purchase is of the exact same model Cuisinart Microwave that I bought thirteen years ago. And the only reason I’m replacing my old one is because the turntable recently stopped rotating. That being said, it’s still microwaving and all the other functions are still up and running. I took my time browsing all the new microwaves on the market before deciding to buy the same make and model Cuisinart I’ve come to depend on. It’s a large microwave and it’s powerful. The digital soft push panel is easy to operate and keep clean. I enjoy the auto defrost feature and the pre programmed fast cook settings like popcorn, fresh veggies, baked potatoes, to name a few. The large interior fits full size plates so reheating leftovers like casoreles is easy. The interior is easy to clean and has a bright light. I also think it’s a good looking appliance and solidly built. All microwaves make noise when running but I find this one to be one of the less annoying and lower decibels. I think the fact that my old one it’s still working well after a decade, except for the turntable, says more about the quality than I can. I would never have chosen the exact same appliance this time around if I wasn’t as pleased as I am. So if you’re looking for a full size microwave from a brand that is synonymous with cooking, check this Cuisinart Microwave out. I think you’ll like it as much as I do. I hope my experience helps you out a bit with your choice. Thank you!
love to create –
Timer panel could be easier for higher times. Love everything elseLove the large inside capacity. Beautiful outside design. Wish higher time control was easier than the contant pushing of start/30sec until time is reached if over 6 min.

DependableMy recent purchase is the exact model of microwave I just replaced after 11 years. It was highly dependable when other brands were not.

Old faithful microwaveThis microwave was a replacement for an exact same model that had last for15 years! That’s right 15 years. It’s a versatile powerful microwave that we have had great success with and couldn’t find any better to replace the old one than the exact same model!
