My previous microwave was purchased in 1998 so this one had different features. I really like it and it fits into my decor very nicely. The only thing it's missing is a 30 second button. i loved that feature on my old one... but this one is better looking and works fine. Also has a timer that can be set while cooking on the stove, which is a nice feature.

This 600 watt micro wave works real good and is very simple to use. Now, for those of you operating off solar power or an inverter ( semi-truck sleeper), mine uses 1070 watts of power no matter if it is set to low, or high power. My solar generator will handle it as long as I just heat stuff up and do not try cooking. Watt usage is always good to know 600 watts = 1070 watts. Good micro wave.

I just wanted to chip in a 5-star review after seeing the top reviews talking about how their microwaves kept breaking--and I'm really sorry they had that experience, because this microwave is a real workhorse. I've currently had mine for going on five years now and had absolutely no problems whatsoever. The only reason I'm thinking of buying a new one is that the interior paint is starting to scuff off on the "ceiling" and the interior of the door--likely because when I clean, I scrub hard. I use my microwave multiple times a day and daily, so it gets hard use. I've had super-expensive microwaves that didn't hold up over a year.

I run this on a GoalZero Lithium 1400 solar battery. It consumes about 900 watts when running (not the advertised 600). It consumes the same amount of power despite the mode (hi, med, low). I used this in a solar-powered van conversion and it really helps with my traveling. From the ability to heat up leftovers to quickly making frozen burritos to softening potatoes, I use this thing more than my propane stove. What I like about it is that I don't have to fill up my propane when using it. I just use it for a couple minutes a day, and my solar panels restore the battery for tomorrow. Even if it runs for 10-15 minutes in a day it barely puts a dent in my solar capacity.

I purchased this microwave when mine went out and it came in very quickly. It is very pretty and matches my kitchen very nicely. I have three kids who believe in microwaving everything. So it gets used all the time. I love that the popcorn button on it is absolutely perfect. Every microwave I have ever had the popcorn button either doesn't cook it long enough or burns it. For me that is a huge plus. It is very light weight and works very well. I love this product and it was a great price, especially for a single mother of three. I would definitely recommend this microwave to anyone looking for great quality and price.
