Overview
The BLACK+DECKER EM9P022DY is a 0.9 cu ft, 900W countertop microwave with 6 auto-cook menus, 10 power levels, a memory function and a child safety lock, sized for small kitchens or dorm rooms.
- 900W output
- 10 adjustable power levels
- One-touch start
- Two-step child safety lock
Who it's for
Fits small kitchens, dorms or anyone replacing a bulkier or overhead microwave with a lighter countertop unit. Not a fit for anyone wanting a large-capacity microwave for full sheet pans or oversized dishes, since 0.9 cu ft is on the smaller end.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers consistently mention the compact size fitting pre-built cabinet spaces and reheating as quickly and evenly as larger microwaves they've owned. The child lock draws mixed comment, some find the extra step unnecessary, though all report it works and can be turned off.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Fits tight cabinet and counter spaces
- 6 auto menus for common foods
- Memory function recalls saved settings
- Light enough to move for cleaning
- 0.9 cu ft limits larger dishes
- Child lock is a mandatory extra step
- 10.7 x 18.6 x 13.2 in footprint still needs clearance
Performance notes
Six auto menus handle popcorn, potato, pizza, frozen vegetables, beverages and dinner plates without manual timing, and 10 power levels cover manual defrosting and reheating. The memory function recalls a saved setting for repeat use, and the two-step child lock can be disabled following the included instructions if it isn't needed.
