GalanzGLCMKZ07RDR07 Retro Countertop Microwave Oven with Auto Cook & Reheat, Defrost, Quick Start Functions, Easy Clean with Glass Turntable, Pull Handle.7 cu ft, Red

While the expensive stainless steel, convection oven, and overhead stove vent, microwave, lost its microwave function everything else works. That likely means the Magnetron has failed. It could mean the diode has failed too, but either case has too much labor involved to repair. I looked at having a new one installed, but those big box stores that do it require a specific vent size and refuse to do any modifications, so you can be left with a mess dealing with contractors. The good news is except for the microwaves themselves every other function works. I can even use the convection oven feature if needed. Still, I need the convenience of a microwave.Thinking about it a bit I remembered I have a large countertop oven on my prep table. This particular model fits perfectly on top. I bought a heat-resistant mat to prevent slippage of the microwave feet and installed it out of the box in five minutes. While much smaller and less powerful than my old unit, this fits most of the things I use a microwave for. Heating water, melting butter, small frozen dinners, reheating pizza and sandwiches, it does them all fine. The price of this was fantastic as it cost roughly one tenth of the cost of my old unit, and less than the trip charge a local repair facility would charge me to evaluate a repair estimate.I like the retro look and the simple controls although there is a bit of a learning curve. My old unit had mostly intuitive buttons, so selecting power levels and presets was easy. I never bothered with the manual on my old unit, but I've had to access this one a few times for the special timed cook, reheat, defrost and other settings. It's not overly complex, but you do need some information. I laminated a card with the basic settings I'll use and attached it with a magnet to my fridge. That should help. despite less power most things I've used it with cook nearly as fast and as complete as the old unit. Recommended.

So cute and functional! Cooks great, easy to use.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Perfect size. Love the retro look. Easy to use. Love the spin dial. Great price, delivered next day. Can't go wrong with this one.

The retro fridge looks great in our kitchen. The microwave is powerful, we haven't had any issues. The stop/cancel function and lock/unlock are something to get used to. I didn't like the feature at first but now it doesn't bother me. The only issue is the time disappears and just blinks. It does not consistently stay on. I have to do more research to see if that can be fixed. Otherwise it does its job!

Perfect fit and wattage for a semi with a 1800 inverter. Nice touch of color too. Took the passenger seat out and put it on top the fridge/freezer. Great combo

I’ve had this for over 6 months now and it’s been very handy in my home office.I don’t understand why people were complaining about the wattage or the time it takes to warm things because I’ve had no issues.I love the color, it goes well with the decor in my office.Buttons and dials are smooth.A little on the louder side but not disruptive.The child lock is a very nice feature.

Wow - this looks cool, and I found a lot of good reviews online on Amazon and others. We needed this while our kitchen was being remodeled to hold us over in our "basement break room". So, we used it every day 2-3 times a day for 2 months. Worked like a champ and created a great vibe in our break room to help keep our spirits up. ;)Pros:- looks cool- works perfectly- compact but big enough- easy to use basic featuresCons- power is about 1/2 of our normal microwave, so we needed to almost double some cooking times - but no big deal once we got used to it- advanced features are "advanced" and you will need to consult the manual - no way to remember them unless you use them all the time. Or do what we did - just used the basic features :)

A nice little microwave with a cool retro look. My wife loves the look and the easy to use controls. Looks good on the counter and works well.
