I used the microwave a month to make sure it wouldn't fall apart...based on some of the reviews here, I'm lucky the rotating plate didn't break, the handle didn't fall off, or the oven didn't burn down the kitchen. Instead, it survived, though it's only been a month, so who knows. Bottom line, this microwave is not only the best-looking microwave I've ever had, it's the easiest I've ever used. Hit the big round button and it turns on for one minute, then rotate the button to quickly scale your time up or down. There are a bunch of other features that are also easy to understand for anyone with a fifth grade education, but I've cooked meals and reheated items more than once a day for a month and I'm delighted with the overall performance.
Yes, the interior light only comes on when the oven is running, not when you open the door. Are the other reviewers blind or something? That just isn't a big deal. Yes, it beeps three times when the cooking session ends. I don't live in a monastery under a vow of silence, so that's okay. The beeping is no louder than any other microwave I've owned. Yes, the power plug forces the microwave to sit about 2½ inches from the wall (see pics)...and the owners manual recommends it sit 3 inches from the wall for venting purposes. I'm okay with that.
None of the hundreds of other reviews showed photos of the black version of the microwave, so I'm showing it in several pictures here. It is a handsome devil, even in black, and it harmonizes beautifully with my granite countertop. The interior is plenty big enough for a standard dinner plate (see pics), and therefore big enough for any frozen dinner.
The 800 watts of power is slightly less than my usual 900 or 1,100 watts, but it cooks well and cooks evenly. I just follow the directions on a frozen dinner (which are written for 1,100 watt microwaves), maybe adding 10 or 20 seconds to the timing, and it comes out piping hot. Anyone who says it doesn't heat has a bad microwave and should return the oven within a week of purchasing...not sit around complaining about it.
So I love my microwave. If it breaks in six months or six years, I'll just buy another one (hopefully when they are on sale, like I did this time). For intuitive microwavers like myself, it is unbelievably easy to use. And it's the most attractive retro-style microwave on the market, whatever color you choose, and it's really not a very close competition with any other design. I could not be happier.

Great quality microwave
This is the cutest microwave if you are looking for a retro style! My daughter is using it in her lash studio. It is such a great fit with her decor. The microwave seems like it is built well. The buttons and features are easy to use and the color feels vintage...it is a creamy white.It is quiet and pretty compact.

I've been using this microwave for a few weeks and I haven't noticed any issues. It works just like a standard microwave should. The controls are a little different -- I like the dial a lot, and I prefer the handle on the microwave door (as opposed to a button that pops the door open). The 30-second express button is really handy too.
This microwave is a tinge loud. That is not a dealbreaker for me, but it is worth noting.
This is a really cute addition to my retro-themed kitchen and I am very happy with it.

If you are on the fence about getting this microwave, do it! It’s the cutest thing ever and the colour is vibrant and beautiful! It’s not the most powerful microwave and won’t zap your food quickly but it does the trick in time. For what it’s used for, it’s perfect and I don’t regret going from a monster microwave that boiled water in a minute to this one. No regrets so far and it’s perfect and sturdy. Love it!!!
