Small but spacious
This microwave measures just 20 inches wide, 15 inches deep and 11 inches tall. This allows it to be used in tight spaces, like tiny kitchens, sheds, or caravans. Despite the small size, it still has 0.8 cu-ft. capacity, which is enough for a full-size dinner plate or a bowl.

Tricky to program
Unlike most of today’s microwaves that use large square buttons with symbols, this one features long, horizontal buttons and a small dial, making it trickier to use. To use some of the options ou have to do more than just press a single button.

Can keep food warm
The most standout feature of this compact microwave is its ability to keep the food warm for up to 30 minutes. It achieves this by sending small microwave bursts to the food, without overcooking it.

Good for basic jobs
This unit features automatic cooking and reheating that works accurately in most cases. The popcorn setting tends to overcook the popcorn, so it's better to keep an eye on it.

•••
No backlight for the buttons
Not only are the button themselves dark, they also don’t have a backlight. If your kitchen isn’t well-lit, this can be quite annoying.

Easy to clean
The curve-shaped cavity makes cleaning a lot more comfortable, compared to the standard square-shaped ones, that have hard-to-clean corners.

Con
•••
The display clock won’t stay on
The clock will turn itself off after 15 minutes. To see the time, you need to push the “stop/clear” button. This can be frustrating for people who use the microwave as a primary clock for their kitchen.

Very powerful
The oven is capable of 1200 W of power, which is enough to bake a potato in 3 minutes. This means it's more powerful than the majority of the microwaves at the same price point.

Con
•••
Bad for defrosting
The oven struggles with defrosting food. Doing this often results in a product being cold in the center and almost cooked on the edges.

Large capacity

Can melt soft food
There are special modes that allow you to melt or soften butter, cheese, chocolate, frozen juice, and other soft food. This reduces the risk of ruining the product by applying too much power.
