In my experience, the main points of failure of a microwave oven are the door and the turntable. This thing has a rugged door that is designed almost like an old refrigerator door and has no turntable; the food heats evenly anyways. The user can control only one variable-- time-- with an elegant rotary control. The timer control seems to be of the encoder (digital) type that, in my experience with other forms of equipment, tends to hold up to years of use.
Even though this microwave doesn't have a lot of fancy fancy features, it is no ugly duckling in a home kitchen. To my eyes, at least, it is a gleaming, stainless steel beauty. The base of the cavity is ceramic and cleans up in a jiffy. The oven chassis is elevated above the counter on feet that are about 1 inch high, making spills around the unit easy to clean up.
Having only a timer to deal with may seem like a limitation but, if you think about it, the only important variable in microwave cooking is time. (Only with conventional, convective-type ovens do you need also to worry about temperature.) Ask yourself honestly, when was the last time you adjusted anything on your microwave other than time? There is probably nothing I can do with the zippy units that I can't do with this one. If using at home, please be sure the circuit on which you plan to use it can safely handle the rated current.
I've only had this unit for about a month, so I can't vouch for durability. I can tell you that I've enjoyed using the unit and that I do not miss any useless programming features, level features, or blinking clocks.
(only reason it didn't get 5 stars, first unit arrived DOA, had to return and replace, but Amazon made return so, so, so simple, sent UPS with label next day)
Needed a device that is simple to use and possible to use by someone with very limited vision. This device is as simple and easy as it gets. No fussy flat-screen buttons with tiny labels, no clock to set, just twist the knob (which is very easy to turn) and it works. Simple and safe. I believe this would be usable for someone who is blind (however there are ovens that actually talk for those who are blind, but those are quite costly). One concern with conventional keypad-controlled ovens is that the timer could be accidentally set wrong (60 vs. 6 minutes)....have personally seen this happen and it started a small fire. This has a maximim time you can dial in of six minutes that makes it much safer to use.
I expected a twist-knob to be some sort of wind-up timer, but it's a slick zero-effort control that lights up the bright LEDs as you rotate it, and the LEDs flash and show visually the time counting down. When the door is opened, the timer resets (so it does not run if you close door after taking the food out). (Note it does not show number counting down, just flashing lights on dial).
From the photos you would expect a cheap knob, but the overall fit and finsih looks very upscale. The knob appears to be metal, the handle is chrome-plated metal, and it just has a real simple yet high-quality feel to it.
Since this is a commercial-grade model, it is made to meet more stringent requirements.
- Commercial grade units must be able to withstand a much higher duty cycle (regular units are expected to be used no more than ten minutes per day, while a commercial one can be used non-stop). The door hinges, for example, are more rugged.
- Commercial units have no turntable and have stainless steel interior and exterior for sanitation (to meet NSF standards). On this unit the interior and door is stainless steel and the outer case is gray painted steel. The bottom of the cavity is white...looks like ceramic, but not sure.
Note that there is no turntable, but that's not needed for most smaller items. Turntable is one more thing to break and clean.
Our need was for a microwave to heat up a cup of water for tea, or a bowl of soup, and one of the small frozen entrees...it works perfect for that.
One very slight gripe is that the door unlock is a bit stiff--it's like a car-door handle where you have to squeeze it to open, and it took enough force that the device slid a bit on the counter. I was worried that someone with limited grip strength could not open it, but it was no problem for an elderly person (she used both hands). The handle is metal with good quality chrome plating, there's no way it could break.
