Five Star Reviews: | 42% It works fine and heats up water nicely like for coffee and ... July 19, 2017 It works fine and heats up water nicely like for coffee and heats your food up too. this a powerful little microwave for the wattage. Great December 10, 2016 User it all the time, never had any problem, had an old sunbeam for 15 years worked ever day, finally went out, so I got another sunbeam, since the old one later so long. Great little item! For a small place. Cant beat the price. October 17, 2016 This is just perfect for my small kitchen. Very pleased with the looks and the performance. And love that it was delivered right to my door! Bought this for my mom, who insisted on needed ... December 24, 2015 Bought this for my mom, who insisted on needed a small microwave. Not a lot fits in this lil' thing, but she likes that it doesn't take up a lot of counter space and fits whats she needs in it. BEST IN CLASS May 20, 2014 I have had really expensive microwave ovens and this one tops them all. very pleased with this purchase. You cannot always judge an item because it appears to be cheap,nothing bad with the way this beauty works. If you need a microwave dont even hesitate this is a winner....................... Great little microwave March 4, 2014 Keeps my food nice and hot and is great for our family of three. It is easy to clean and the white goes with my white kitchen. | 46% Good microwave February 18, 2017 Have had this microwave for some time now and it works reliably. I sometimes forget how small it is, but that's what I paid for. Great buy for someone who lives alone and moves from rental to rental. Space-saving, full-featured unit January 10, 2017 So happy with this. Nearly half the size of my mid-sized Panasonic, so I have counter space back! Still fits my 10" dinner plates and large mixing bowls. All the functions (including quick start, adding time, preset times, adjustable power in 10% increments) I've ever wanted/used. Beverage button gets a daily workout and reheats my coffee to just right. Most things take just a wee bit longer because of the lower wattage (frozen veg takes 2 minutes longer) but it's an easy trade off for the space savings. Wish the little "wave guard" was more plastic and less cardboard-like, though. TIP for those struggling with keeping it in place: When opening the door, put your thumb just below the LH corner of the number display and your other fingers in the handle - allows you to keep the unit in place while opening and still make it a one-handed operation. So Far so GOOD December 30, 2016 I bought this as a replacement to my Sharp 20 year old microwave. I like this unit since it is not that large, 17" wide, 11" deep and about 10.5" in height. When opening the door, the unit doesn't move. The clock on the unit is bright and easy to read.Works well and would buy again, now - lets see how long it lasts. Great Microwave! March 16, 2016 Bought this for my sister-in-law who had just moved into a new apartment. She needed something that wouldn't take up a lot of space and this microwave was perfect. She has said that it heats quickly and efficiently without rubberizing what she is trying to reheat. I need to replace my own microwave so I think I will be purchasing one for myself as well. Great Tiny Microwave May 15, 2015 This microwave is perfect for our needs. We have a small kitchen and decided to make over an existing cabinet to be a semi "built in" microwave space, in order to get more appliances off the counter. This microwave fit in the space perfectly. It is small, but large enough to fit a regular-sized dinner plate or a pyrex 6-cup measuring bowl, which is about the largest thing that I ever need to put in a microwave. It is not as powerful as other microwaves due to the size, but it is pretty easy to just add an extra 30 seconds or what have you using the one-touch buttons. Just Right!! August 18, 2014 This is a Nice looking, compact microwave. Doesn't take up a lot of space, and does what it is supposed to do! One minor issue--which I corrected easily--is that since it is lightweight, it moves when pulling open the door. I fixed this by putting some Museum Putty on the four feet. Now it doesn't budge! You can find Museum Putty on Amazon. A great product to keep things down! |
Four Star Reviews: | 20% So far so good. It small but just what I needed for ... May 18, 2016 So far so good. It small but just what I needed for basic warming and defrosting. This is a nice microwave but in the past week February 10, 2016 This is a nice microwave but in the past week, it has shut down on me several times in mid use. It shuts itself off and about a minute later I hear a beep and it's on again. It appears to have its own defensive mechansm when it thinks its overheating. I'm hoping it doesn't continue. ANy ideas what could be the cause? I'm happy with it otherwise. It works January 23, 2016 I've never had a 700 watt before. I'm used to the 1000 + watt ones. It works, just have cook most things longer. The point was that it was one I could afford. I just wonder why after 30 something years of this microwave technology, they still are so expensive. very nice for small apt January 18, 2016 good product; wish glass plate had indentations like previous model; this one keeps coming "off", but still good! buy A good buy February 21, 2015 This microwave is great, the only problem is the plate slides around in it too much. It is a very nice small size that doesn't take up too much room, color is off white not bright white but that's okay. Works well, has even heating. Well worth the money perfect for my limited space May 30, 2014 The counter space I have available for a microwave is only 13 inches deep, so it's difficult to find a decent microwave. This one is 12", perfect for my needs, and is solid and usable. Perfect for me. | 24% No button to open the door, but still a decent unit September 1, 2017 Good unit, low enough watts to not have a power issue, but never had a problem cooking anything.One major beef is the door, there is no push button to open the door where one should be. Just kind of a pocket in the door to open it from, meaning you have to get right up close to open or close it. Great little microwave May 30, 2016 Small footprint, and at 700 watts it is lower power than I was accustomed to, so I have to adjust the time I cook things from my old beast 1000w. But, the built in job that came with my house was damaged by the renters, and until I re-do the kitchen, this little guy works, and is perfect for the job. The short cord that some complained about didn't bother me, it sits right in front of the outlet. It works, and it does not die two minutes into any cooking job (unlike the built in I got with the house!). Love having a functioning microwave again!!! I just wish the interior footprint was a tiny bit bigger...then it would be perfect! Good value and quality May 6, 2015 This microwave looks and works great. We needed a black microwave to match the rest of our appliances and this one looks really nice and was very affordable. My only gripe is how easy it slides around on the counter. And there aren't any real "feet" to put rubber pads on so I'll have to come up with something, maybe putting it on a rubber mat. You have to be sure to hold the microwave as you open the door or it will slide. I wish I could give it 4.5 stars since taking off a full star seems a bit much but it's annoying enough to not give it a full 5. Satisfactory and simple April 18, 2014 This replaced a slightly larger, more powerful unit that was beginning to fail (and anyway, after 15 years it wasn't possible to get it clean any more.) This one barely accepts our steamer, but then it works fine. Simpler than the old one, it shows the learning we've all done with microwaves: half a minute instead of a full minute for the one-button operation, and a handle in the door instead of a button to push. Entirely adequate. Nice little microwave June 23, 2013 This appliance is just right for "light" cooking. It takes a few minutes longer to heat food items because the wattage is lower than other micros. Mine came with an informative instruction booklet...I now use paper towels to cover my food, and rarely use plastic wrap. Seems to keep the oven cleaner. And I just learned that one should never cook chicken with bones in a microwave, which may be what caused my last oven to short out. You need to be gentle with it. It does have a tendency to slip and slide on the counter. I put rubberized shelf matting under it, and that seems to help. Also, the turn table is "antsy" and will slide off the track if food isn't placed just right. It holds all of my smaller casserole containers and dinner plates just fine. I don't mind pulling and pushing the door open and close. Again be gentle...no need to slam or yank the door. There are several cooking features listed in the instructions. So far, I am just using the basics, and am very satisfied with the results, even though it may take a little longer to cook. The unit arrived in good shape, and was well-packaged for shipping. Frigidaire Microwave cooker from Amazon August 14, 2012 I purchased this Frigidaire Microwave from Amazon. It is my first experience with microwave and I believe I shall find it a vey useful addition to my kitchen. It is attractive and doesn't take up too much of my rather limited space. I found it not easy to keep the round glass tray in its correct position. It slips out of place often. I think the directions in the instruction booklet could have been more detailed.I've been experimenting with settings and it is getting easier. |
Three Star Reviews: | 10% Annoying that clear button and start button are so far ... June 17, 2015 Not big enough for popcorn to rotate properly. Tray rotates too quickly. Some things placed in middle don't seem to warm evenly. Annoying that clear button and start button are so far apart but that is my personal preference. Compact size is nice and easy to put anywhere in kitchen. Three Stars April 3, 2015 Trouble with the glass turntable. Doesn't stay. Rocks as it turns, but hello! Very powerful for its size. Ok product January 2, 2015 Ok, but bottom tray will constantly slip off, and bounce around in the microwave which is a pain. It takes longer to heat food, but is small and convenient and nice looking. Could be better though. But good for one person, or for a dorm. This microwave works fine bit it lacks any of the normal convenient buttons ... December 26, 2014 This microwave works fine bit it lacks any of the normal convenient buttons so you have to press all the digits to heat food for one minute. No biggie but kind of a pain. Also the microwave beeps really loud and also beeps an additional three times after you open the door when the time is done. So annoying. Three Stars December 23, 2014 The price was good, and I only use a microwave thaw and charge my morning coffee with extra heat. | 10% Watch out for those easy Convenience buttons September 27, 2016 Watch out for those easy Convenience buttons and study this strange device! :(I just half burned-out a fist-sized potato, after only 3 minutes, using "1" with their potato setting. (It looked like some sort of laser beam had struck one side and then shrunk and killed that poor spud. :(*** So for now, for some sort of "food protection", I'm using an 8" piece of plastic, the lid from a gallon of ice cream, under a baking potato. (I'm going to experiment with the lid open-side up and down, to see if a distance from the plate, makes any difference. And for additional safety, I will be only using their "+30 sec" button, for 2 minutes or less.) And then, maybe I'll report about more WMD, Weapon of Microwaved-food Destruction, later? . . . Wish me, Luck? ;)It's a shame that I couldn't find and buy my very ancient GoldStar on Amazon. ( BTW, a search for "goldstar microwave" just brings back their parts. :( It had 800-watt and.8 cu.feet, but would have just "started" that potato, properly. Corrosion November 29, 2015 I have owned this microwave oven for a few years and I've been satisfied with it's performance, BUT the lower rim of the oven cavity is easily susceptible to moisture damage. Within months of light use, the enamel began to peal and the metal beneath it began to oxidize. I would not recommend this product since this issue could hinder seal between the oven cavity and the door. It's okay...not great October 24, 2015 Pros: I like the size for my tiny kitchen. The oven seems to do a good job.Cons: There is a 'hot spot' in the center and a napkin under a cup caught fire. Luckily I was in the kitchen and caught it right away. The settings are a bit of a hassle. If you don't press all the numbers fast enough it starts the automatic quick cycle.I don't hate it - but I would not choose it again. Noisy to close. September 23, 2015 Just the right size, but it makes a horrible, loud noise when the door closes. And it doesn't have a button to open it so you need a few fingers to open the clutch. It just fits a large dinner plate. The buttons are not as hard to press as my former microwave, but is still stiff. A lot of different settings. Puts the micro in microwave May 12, 2014 700 watts isn't really enough. Takes twice as long as I'm used to, to nuke anything and it tends to burn a center of black mass popcorn. Good for small bowls, cups of coffee but don't expect to make meals. The oven runs okay and cooks, but that is about it April 26, 2013 This oven does the job, however, the oven itself is too small. You have to tilt a dinner plate in order to place it in the oven. The same with a large bowl. Our previous one was the same size overall, but plates and large bowls went straight in.The other thing is that the timer is not independent. You can not be using the oven and timer at the same time.An annoyance is that when the oven is done it "cheeps" a total of FIVE times. Way too many times!As mentioned, however, the oven does cook and heat. |
Two Star Reviews: | 7% depends on what your priorities are November 10, 2016 the beeping noise upon completion of the cooking cycle is loud, grating and incessant. five excessively loud beeps. the rotating glass dish doesn't exactly fit requiring re-setting with every use and sometimes during the cycle. otherwise, works as expected, is compact and reliable. good price. Meh May 6, 2015 It's super tiny, doesn't heat foods very well, takes double the time to do so. Does not fit an average size plate,( I didn't look at dimensions of the thing, bought it on a whim) the microwave is pretty decent, heats things well December 21, 2014 Actually, the microwave is pretty decent, heats things well. I asked for a white, got a black one instead. I had it send to my second house where my kids opened it up, and promptly started using it. When i finally came back to visit, I noticed the color of the microwave and started complaining. You know what? The rating is more for my kids rather than the actual microwave. it was damaged. The top right side has a ... September 10, 2014 it was damaged. The top right side has a big dent in it. It's shipping back to the place I bought it from. Poor workmanship. This microwave essentially blew up 3 days ... July 17, 2014 Poor workmanship. This microwave essentially blew up 3 daysafter I first used it. The magnetron failed and created a hugeflash & bang... | 9% Sparky October 11, 2016 After two years of light daily use from a single person house house it started sparky heating butter in a ceramic coffee cup. I had use the same cup a few minutes before no problem less you should think it was the cup. ... u try and open the door it is very easy to pull the entire microwave forward May 15, 2015 very small and lightweight-when u try and open the door it is very easy to pull the entire microwave forward. Seems to indicate poor inspection or indifference prior to packaging if not seconds ... February 13, 2015 Decent little microwave.It arrived with a big dent in the upper left side of the case. The manufacturer's packaging was undamaged, Amazon's packaging was undamaged. Seems to indicate poor inspection or indifference prior to packaging if not seconds sold as NIB. Slow to heat food July 15, 2014 This microwave takes 3x's as long to heat anything up. So frustrating !! It takes over 2 minutes to heat up a small bowl of soup. Almost dead on arrival December 21, 2013 This microwave did not suffer any visible damage in shipping. After removing all packing materials and plugging it in, the display and clock worked normally.I set the timer and hit "start". The door was closed securely and the child lock was not activated.The turntable did not move and there was no sound at all, not even the fan. The timer counted down and buzzed at the end, but no heating took place. I like the design and light weight, so I may try to have it repaired locally. maybe OK for a small-footprint, inexpenisve (??) microwave September 21, 2013 Someone broke in my home and stole my old microwave (which was ~10 years old - really who wants to steal a 10-yr old microwave?), and I bought this one to replace it. I liked the original one better, but the old model isn't available any more. I wanted a simple and inexpensive microwave, and it meets those criteria. My only complaint so far is that it isn't tall enough inside to fit a tall mug that I use for hot tea. I wish manufacturers would tell you the internal size of microwaves and not just the external dimensions.As of Oct 2013, I'm lowering my rating to 2 stars. First, the interior height is not enough for me: 8 inch is the tallest item that I can put inside. Diameter of the turntable inside is slightly under 10 inch; OK but could be a tight fit for warming a plate. Second, to open the door, one must pull on a handle rather than push a button. I find that I must firmly put my right hand on the top of the microwave (to keep it from moving forward) while pulling on the handle with my left hand to get the door open. It gets annoying over time to need 2 hands to open the door. Third, I often want to use it to time the amount of time that I brew my cup of tea. You must press "timer" then (for example) "0500" & then "start" to have the timer buzz in 5 min. Apparently one must ALWAYS press 4 digits. I keep forgetting the leading zero for 5 min, and it is annoying. I didn't need to press 4 digits on the timer on my old microwave. If I wanted 20 seconds, I just pressed "20" and "start." Finally, IMO approx. $100 is too much money for such a basic microwave. |
One Star Reviews: | 21% I would never recommend this particular product July 27, 2016 This product has worked for one day only and then something went wrong. It has to with programming it. It is very complicated. I called the number on the User manual and spoke with a person who was not able to help me. I kept calling back and didn't get any help at all. I would never recommend this particular product. I just want to let you know that I am very disappointed you sold me a bad product August 17, 2015 I sent this microwave oven to my sister as a birthday present. She is incapacitated and lives by herself in the Bronx NY. The oven malfunctioned and does not work anymore. She got rid of the boxes it was shipped in. because of her limitations she cannot put it in another box and ship it back to you. I just want to let you know that I am very disappointed you sold me a bad product. I have been your client since your beginning. I am very sad I may not trust you anymore. She is just going to trash it. Was broken from the first time I plugged it in ... November 19, 2014 Was broken from the first time I plugged it in. As soon as it was plugged in the microwave kicked on as though it was attempting to cook but would not heat and would not respond to interaction, even opening it did not stop it. Horrible horrible product September 9, 2014 This was the worst purchase ever. I saw other reviews but went with it anyways because WHY NOT IT'S JUST A MICROWAVE. Upon receiving it and plugging it in, it didn't even do the one function it's supposed to - heat food. It appears to be functional but it actually DOES NOT HEAT THE FOOD. We tried several different outlets and could not figure out why it wouldn't work. I am so frustrated with this product because now I have to deal with a microwave that I have to return through Amazon (third party) so complaining to Sunbeam was pointless. I'm just really annoyed with this product. I got a defective one... July 7, 2014 Microwave randomly turns on after we remove the food and shut the door without pressing the start button. Sometimes it turns on several minutes after we close the door. Short:lived March 17, 2014 A great microwave, with terrific features, like a setting for baking potatoes, and another setting for how much the item weighs; also, cooking time determined by how many items are to be cooked or heated. One annoying defect: the tray slips off the track very easily, actually too easily; the slightest bump will throw it off track. This is number 6 or 7 microwave that I have bought and I have never had this particular problem before. So, I have to be careful placing and removing items from the tray, I still love this microwave.Update: I purchased this on 07 Feb. 2014. It stopped working yesterday. Sunbeam tech support person walked me through a rese. Still does not heat anymore. Sorry, your one-year warranty has expired.I have bought many microwaves over the years. I am 83 years old. I never had one that lasted only one year.Do not buy this product. | 11% Stopped working within 3 months October 25, 2015 This microwave stopped working after less than 3 months. I would not purchase this item. One Star October 13, 2015 Smaller than expected. Found a white microwave at Walmart for cheaper and much bigger. One Star January 20, 2015 Does not cook well, frozen dinners take longer, popcorn burns on the popcorn setting damaged goods December 20, 2013 The microwave had an enormous dent on one side when the manufacturer's box was removed. That box was damaged as well, but the shipping box from Amazon was intact. No replacement was available |
