Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Ideal for tight spaces
This tiny microwave is only 15" wide and 14" deep, making it one of the smallest microwaves in the market. Additionally, the rounded back allows it to be seamlessly placed in a corner without taking too much space.
Pro Intuitive controls
This microwave doesn’t have any control dials, knobs, or number pads. Instead, it uses nine touch sensitive buttons with a simple display. For standard reheating, you only need to press the start button to activate the microwave for 30 seconds. The rest of the buttons are clearly labeled and are meant for popcorn, power level or defrosting.
Pro Excellent for reheating
With this microwave, you can reheat yesterday’s leftovers with excellent results. The built-in moisture sensors will determine how ready the food is. All you have to do is place the food in the oven and press the reheat button. The microwave will do the rest.
Pro Good for frozen foods
Although there is no dedicated frozen food mode, this microwave has enough power to cook frozen foods thoroughly and evenly as long, as you follow the directions provided for the food.
Pro Large cooking cavity
The microwave has 2.2 cu. ft. of space and is fitted with a large 16-inch turntable, which makes it perfect for cooking large meals for the whole family.
Cons
Con Lacks power
The most noticeable downside of this microwave oven downside is the 750 W of maximum power which may not be enough for some foods.
Con Good only for the basic tasks
As this oven lacks some premium features, such as moisture sensors, special pre-sets, and multi-stage cooking capabilities, it is suitable only for basic tasks.
Con Disappointing preset performance
Unlike the reheating mode, the dedicated presets don't perform that well. While they also use a moisture sensor to cook the food, the microwave will almost always err towards undercooking the food. You can add a minute or two after the microwave has finished cooking, but that makes the automatic preset feature useless.
