Overview
The Farberware 1.1 cu ft countertop microwave runs at 1000 watts with 10 power levels, six auto-cook presets, time and weight defrost, and a child safety lock.
It is a straightforward compact microwave rather than a convection or sensor-cook model, sized to fit a dinner plate. One recurring first-use note from reviewers: the button panel ships with a protective film over it that makes the controls feel stiff until it is peeled off. Owners comparing it to prior microwaves that lasted 8 to 20 years describe it as well built so far, though it is early for some to judge long-term durability.
- 1.1 cu ft interior fits full-size dinner plates
- 10 adjustable power levels
- LED digital display with memory function
- Cord and control layout suited to small counters
Who it's for
Fits an apartment, dorm, or secondary kitchen that needs a compact microwave with basic presets rather than convection cooking or sensor reheat. Less suited to anyone replacing a large family-size microwave who needs a bigger interior or higher wattage.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers generally describe even heating and quieter running than the microwaves they replaced, some of which had lasted 8 to 20 years, and several call it a good value for the size. The most common first-use complaint is not a defect but a protective film left over the button panel that makes the controls feel unresponsive until it is peeled off.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Even heating reported across multiple reviews
- Quieter operation than several previous microwaves owners replaced
- Six auto-cook presets plus time and weight defrost
- Child safety lock built in
- Button panel ships with a stiff protective film that must be peeled off
- Fewer preset functions than some larger, pricier microwaves
