Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Our microwave had to be thrown out when the protective seal between the door and microwave literally fell off onto the counter top! I could see rust where the protective paint was supposed to be! I researched and I read that this is what keeps the radiation from leaking out - so discontinue use immediately! That was unsettling! So we unplugged it and got on Amazon to find another one. I really thought I could find one that does not have paint there. Maybe one that has stainless steel there instead. I only found one and it was way out of my price range. So I looked and looked and looked. One thing I have learned about appliance reviews is that not everyone uses kitchen appliances the same. So after many hours of searching - I went with this one. My old one was really big - so I wanted something smaller to gain counter space and one that matched all the other appliances. We only use the microwave for popcorn and warming up stuff. So I don't need anything fancy. I also wanted this fast and it was prime. I ordered it and the 4 year replacement since our old one did not make it that long. It did not come on time! The day after I bought it, I got an email stating that it would not be here for four more days! I was not thrilled with this but I did not want to search for another one. It came packaged well. It is smaller than I am used to. But everything I ever use in the microwave - fits. The sides are black - all sides. Only the front of the microwave (the door) is stainless. It is quieter than our old one. It has a good time cook and a defrost that works well. It has a bright led light inside. The best part for me is the size! I was able to move it to a different part of my kitchen and I gained a lot of counter space! Which is just what I wanted! If you want a no frills microwave and are concerned about space - buy this!
