Overview

- Mirrored reflective glass door
- Time and weight defrost modes
- 99-minute timer with digital clock
- Child safety lock
Who it's for
Small kitchens, dorms and anyone wanting a lightweight travel microwave are the intended buyer here. Shoppers wanting a larger interior, a fuller feature set, or peace of mind about the door-lock complaint some owners raised should consider other options.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Owners like the compact size and reflective silver finish for small kitchens, with several bringing it on road trips for kids' popcorn and pizza, and most call it good value for the size. The mirror front needs frequent wiping to stay presentable, and one 1-star review describes the door failing to open after the child lock engaged, forcing a full power reset to free it.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Compact 0.7 cu ft fits tight counters
- Light enough for travel or road trips
- 6 presets simplify common reheats
- White interior shows spatters for easy cleaning
- Mirror door needs frequent wiping
- Child lock mechanism drew a durability complaint
- Smaller capacity limits dish sizes
- Basic feature set versus larger microwaves
Performance notes
700 watts across 10 power levels plus 6 presets and time or weight defrost cover routine reheating and defrosting, tracked on an LED display with a 99-minute timer. The child lock secures the door through a latch mechanism that at least one owner found failed under normal opening force.
