Overview
A 700 watt, 0.7 cubic foot countertop microwave, the Farberware unit is built for small kitchens, offices, or dorms, with six one-touch presets and a child safety lock.
Feedback is mixed on unit reliability rather than everyday performance. Most owners describing daily use call it simple, quiet, and dependable for reheating and basic cooking, but one detailed review documents a unit that arrived electrically dead, with no display and an unresponsive control panel straight out of the box. That's a reminder to test it as soon as it arrives rather than assume it works. A couple of owners also note the door lock feature is hard to disable, and the door can be loud when closed.
- 700 watt output, 0.7 cu ft interior
- Ten power levels, six one-touch presets
- Defrost by weight or time
- Child safety lock and LED display
Who it's for
Fits anyone needing a compact microwave for a small kitchen, office break room, or secondary space, who will check it works the moment it's unboxed. Less suited to anyone who dislikes a mandatory door safety lock or a bit of closing noise.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Most reviewers describe reliable day-to-day performance: even heating, straightforward controls, and a clean, modern look on the counter. The door lock feature draws complaint from at least one owner who finds it hard to turn off, and the door can be noisy when closing. One buyer received a unit that was electrically dead out of the box, with no working display or controls.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Simple one-touch presets for common foods
- Even heating for reheating and basic cooking
- Compact enough for small kitchens or offices
- Door safety lock can be hard to disable
- Door can be noisy when closing
- At least one reported dead-on-arrival unit
Performance notes
At 700 watts with ten power levels, this is a lower-output microwave suited to reheating and basic cooking rather than fast full meals, with six one-touch presets covering common foods. The child safety lock is reported as difficult to switch off by at least one owner. Build quality reports are largely positive for units that arrive working, but at least one buyer received a unit with a completely unresponsive display and controls, requiring a return.
