Chefman Countertop Microwave Oven 0.7 Cu. Ft., 700 Watts with 10 Power Levels, 6 Cooking Presets with One-Touch Express Cook, Eco Mode, Child Safety Lock, & Mute Button - Black

I bought this microwave primarily because, after 75 years of commercial availability, the intelligence level of our society has collapsed to the point that it intersects with the mad rush to have the government regulate everything. Now, microwave ovens are required to have childproof locks on the doors—even in households and other environments that never see children. This model has the idiocracy built right into the handle, letting me trigger the childproof feature in the same step I use to open the door. It allows me to pretend we don’t live in a dystopian world ruled by bureaucrats. All the other microwave ovens I looked at use a two-step process that would only frustrate people who just want to open a darn microwave door. This model comes with a warning sticker on the door explaining how to open it. If you're a landlord or have a VRBO, you'll want to leave the sticker on because otherwise somebody is going to rip the handle off trying to get the door open, or maybe even go the nuclear option and try to pry it open with a knife. People aren't going to stand there trying to solve a microwave rubicks cube at the expense of their Hot Pocket getting cold. Even when it's for the children! I have no doubt this microwave is actually using all 700 watts of its rated power. It outcooks the 700-watt Sunbeam it replaced—the little ray of sunshine that opened either by pulling the door or pressing the huge “open” button, without any needless bureaucratic hurdles or handles standing in the way. A microwave oven from a more civilized age. My only major complaint about this microwave is that the keypad requires superhuman strength in the fingers to register that a button has been pressed. I recommend putting your shoulder into it and letting your body weight do the work to avoid getting an injury. The microwave needs to be up against a wall to use it because the force required to use the keypad will push the microwave back until there is something to stop it, and then you need to keep pushing until it beeps. And if you want, for example, to hold the "4" button down for it automatically start for 4 minutes instead of pressing 4-0-0-start, you have to maintain Herculean pressure against the 4 button for several strenuous seconds, straining to keep your knuckles from buckling like you're trying to hold an entire set of encyclopedias against the wall using only the strength from a single finger. And I mean all the encyclopedias. From A to Z. It's easier to do 4-0-0-start so frankly that feature requiring the encyclopedia maneuver is worthless. I suppose the manufacturer is trying to future-proof their microwaves against full-blown microwave tyranny, where even the buttons would have to be childproof, because frankly, these buttons already are. The microwave works well, it looks sleek, it is the proper size and noise level for it's wattage, it needs to be up against a wall, and the child-proof door opening mechanism is the best in it's class.

It’s not giant but works great cheapest one I could find reliable strong has good clock to set it works for price GREAT !! 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️ got here fast no issues to receive it in middle black Friday Xmas rush on internet amazon great job

This is smaller than my previous one (never measured!) but I love it. Realized this is perfect. Opens up easily and I have no complaints so far. Had it for 3 weeks but I'm pleased. Not noisy, there's nothing I don't like. Recommend.

Excellent product great price point. I would given it 5 stars. One thing I find a flaw.. Is wheel alignment mechanism the plate sits upon. You must always re-adjust it. This is only applicable to those who purchase this product for semi-truck. If the microwave is used in a stable non moving environment no issue. -great functionality -Noise level is normal - I choose the color black (blend nicely) - Nice preprogrammed timer option Other than that, it’s an excellent quality for space conscience consumers.

Happy with this microwave purchase, it looks great in all black and it’s easy to operate. Sounds solid when in use, no rattles, vibrations or anything. I should note the inside of mine is white, not the grey color shown in the pictures. I like that the beeping sound can be easily muted with 1 button and no advanced menu diving is required. The child lock button on the handle allows for quiet opening and closing of the door, no slamming required like many microwaves Overall it’s a great little microwave at the right price point .

This Chefman countertop microwave is an outstanding compact appliance that delivers impressive performance! The 0.7 cubic foot size is perfect for smaller kitchens, dorm rooms, offices, or RVs where space is at a premium. Don't let the compact size fool you - the 700 watts of power heats food quickly and evenly. I love the 10 power levels which provide excellent control for different cooking tasks, from defrosting delicate items to quickly reheating leftovers. The 6 pre-programmed cooking settings make it incredibly easy to prepare common items like popcorn, pizza, beverages, and frozen dinners with just one touch. The digital control panel is intuitive and user-friendly with clearly labeled buttons and an easy-to-read LED display. The turntable rotates smoothly and ensures even heating throughout. The interior is surprisingly spacious for such a compact unit - it easily accommodates a standard dinner plate or medium-sized bowl. The sleek black exterior looks modern and professional, fitting seamlessly with most kitchen decor. Cleanup is a breeze with the smooth interior surfaces that wipe down easily. The door closes securely with a satisfying click and the safety lock feature provides peace of mind. After months of daily use, it performs just as well as day one with consistent heating and no hot spots. The noise level is remarkably quiet compared to larger microwaves. Energy efficient operation keeps electricity costs down. The compact footprint leaves valuable counter space for other appliances. Perfect for singles, couples, students, or as a second microwave. Outstanding value for the quality and features you get!

Works amazing!!! not to heavy. very quiet. looks sleek and beautiful. love the child safety lock.

I purchased this microwave to use at my office. It is perfect in size and power for my small office! It’s easy to use and fits in a small space without sacrificing power. My food comes out perfectly hot every time. I will say the shortcut options are not optimal. I have a different microwave that has easier to use shortcut keys than this; however, it is not a deal breaker. This microwave was a great purchase for the price! If you need a microwave to fit in to a small space and still do a great job heating, this microwave is for you!

I am very happy with this little microwave. I didn’t find the buttons hard to press like some people mentioned. I like the choices on the presets. I just received it today and used it to heat my supper up and it worked perfectly. It is quite small, but that’s fine for me, my previous microwave was quite big and I only really used it to heat things up anyway. I bought the Chefman specifically because I had just bought one of their air fryers and I was so pleased with it. I thought I’d stick to that same brand. I think it’s great value for money and does exactly what it says it does.

Great size and works wonderfully.

This is a great first microwave, budget friendly, and works great. Although I would get the larger size next time as some of my plates don't fit in it, just make sure you read the dimensions.

Absolutely! Here’s a more engaging version of the text: "Yes, it's cozy. Just the right size for one person, a charming little nook where the aromas of freshly brewed coffee mingle with the warmth of leftover meals."or one person, a charming little nook where the aromas of freshly brewed coffee mingle with the warmth of leftover meals."

Works great for a 7 cu. Ft. Microwave, and in my opinion, works the same as a bigger Microwave. I choose Chefman because I research the name and discover they make small appliances for many years and I not disappointed.
