Customers are saying

Customers have good things to say about the compact size, retro design, and appealing color of this microwave. Many appreciate its ease of use and stylish appearance, while some find the controls somewhat confusing and the power a bit lower than expected. Positive feedback also highlights its performance and price. A small number of users noted an unpleasant smell upon initial use.

    Love this little microwave. Beware of the retro buttons. I have to refer to the book on somethings. If you don’t mind reading the book, then you will be ok. They are not regular buttons. It is a retro microwave style. On the great side, it is classic, sleek, and stylish. It blends anywhere. The color is a very light mint green. Quiet and purrs like a kitten. I love it.

    This little microwave is so cute and easy to use. I bought it for my pool house and my kids are able to operate it easily - it is perfect for small microwavable frozen meals/snacks!

    This microwave is perfect for my office! I wanted something I could reheat coffee or food in while I'm upstairs so I don't have to go back down to the kitchen. It took a few times to get used to the buttons but it's easy to use, looks great, and I was able to find a mini fridge at BB to go along with it for the perfect setup.

    Bought it for my office cubicle, it works great. It’s quiet and fits perfectly on my desk. Only thing is it takes a little extra time to heat up cold food. Other than that, it’s great!! Love the design/color also.

    I got this to match the color and style of several other appliances. It fits in perfectly. The size if perfect for my use. I defrosted a dish with one button, seems to be set just right. At least now I can keep my coffee warm in style.

    This is the CUTEST most POWERFUL microwave I’ve ever seen! Better than any other brand I've ever owned! It’s Absolutely amazing! I never knew Best Buy had their own line of household appliances until I bought their ice maker (which is perfection!) and literally after experiencing the quality and amazing performance of their ice maker, I went the following day to purchase this matching microwave and it did not disappoint! I absolutely love it! If you’re questing yourself if you should get it or not, YOU SHOULD AND WILL NOT REGRET IT! Don’t let this things size fool you.. it’s a beast.

    It is small but amazing! The design is so cute and works very well. But the defrost function is a little tricky to understand at first you might have to keep the manual book just in case. It is great overall !

    Recently bought this for my Mother who has moved in with me. She uses to cook meals for herself with a microwave cooker she found. She is really loving her freedom to do her own thing in her own space. Great choice so she can have some independence. We bought this as an addition to the companion mint green compact fridge we got her last fall from Best Buy.

    Great color, size, and style. Fits perfectly in a dorm room, cooks the food nicely and figuring out the knob and buttons is pretty quick! I also have another at home and it works perfectly there too

    Works great! Easy to use. It's a 700-watt, so most cooking instructions I have to adjust by x1.7 min to get 1200 wattage (in case that is helpful to anyone else!). Once you actually read the manual, the cook settings are easy to use and remember. Overall, it's cute, it's sturdy and does the job.

    Was concerned it would take longer to heatup things since it is a smaller OTC micro, but glad I was wrong. It actually fits a full size 12-13in plate with a splash guard over just fine.

    The microwave looks cute and has very minimal buttons, but it comes with full functions and programs including popcorn, which was more than I expected! The knob feels so smooth to turn. Only drawback is that it's a small/medium size microwave so it cannot fit a big plate.
