  Plastic Button Bubbled

Well-functioning microwave. It looks shinny and is a good fit to our cabinet. The size was perfect and it had all the features we wanted

This brand I recognized also from stays in hotels, so I assumed they are reliable. The power is not great, but good enough to be a big convenience. Very useful for a single person in a small space. I have it on top of a grip liner so it doesn't move at all when I push buttons or open the door.

This is a very compact microwave, if you're looking for one to fit in a tight spot. That's the reason we purchased it. However, after owning it less than three months, a couple of things are starting to bug me.

I was at first really disappointed. It heated the bowl, not the food. Then I realized I had to hit the "cook" button before I keyed in the time and hit "start." Duh. I love this little powerhouse. It's half the size of my old one with every bit as much power. Cooks two hot dogs in one minute.

Its small, but I knew that and wanted it for that feature. I had a specific spot for a microwave and this one fits perfect. It has a lot of power for its size, never have a problem heating up anything.

I spend roughly 100 nights a year in hotels and this microwave is in probably half or more of those. I have never once had one not working or ever fail on me. Even the clock is always right!

Stopped working after about 10 uses. Turns on but doesnt heat anything up. Good value just not a good product.
