So far it's perfect for me. It's compact, but the interior is high enough to accommodate my tall coffee mug and other containers without having to tilt them to get them inside and risk spilling contents. (It's nearly two inches higher than my last compact microwave.) Also, at just over 20 pounds, it was light enough for me to install with almost no trouble. I'm 75 and somewhat frail, so I'm sure it would be a piece of cake for a younger person. I'm partial to the door handle because I don't like push button doors, but that's just a personal preference.IMPORTANT NOTE: I almost returned this microwave because of the child lock. There's different information online for this model about whether the child lock can be disabled. Some product descriptions say yes, some say no. I decided to take my chances and was disappointed that the child lock appeared to be permanently enabled. I thought I would get used to it, but I hated the extra step, so I did a deep dive and discovered how to disable the automatic child lock:Press 7 and thenPress 9Press "Door Open" for 3 seconds(within 30 seconds of pressing 7 and 9)The screen will display "ULoc" to indicate the child lock has been disabled.Repeat the process to re-enable the child lock and the display will show "Loc".If you run into trouble, try unplugging the microwave for a few seconds and plugging it back in. This will reset it.It lost a star for the conflicting info about the child lock.Update: As others have mentioned, it's heating power isn't great. If speed and power are priorities for you, I'd get something else.

I can read the display clock up close and and up to eight feet away, but I wish that the numbers were brighter and bigger so I could read them from across the room like I could my 14 year old Mainstays microwave that I bought from Walmart.Other than that, I think that the interior height is even a tiny bit shorter than my old 0.7 cut ft Mainstays microwave. The width could be a tiny bit narrower too. But this isn't a dealbreaker. The only real inconvenience is that I have to put less kernels in my silicone microwave popper bowl. But the microwave is a good size for me. I really like it.I like the 700w. It cooks food just like I want. I tried a 900w Farberware microwave recently and it burned my popcorn until it was black charcoal and made any food that I warmed up overly hot. I had to keep setting the power level to 8, which was inconvenient. But with a 700w, I can just use the default power level and enter the time duration that I want to cook or warm up food.I like the aesthetics of the microwave as well. The thing that I wanted to avoid the most was getting a metal or black microwave. So many microwaves claim to be white, but they have black doors and/or black panels in front. Not only that, but this Comfee microwave has curves instead of just looking like a plain white box. The colors, curves, and overall design are very pleasing to the eye.I didn't take the time to inspect the legs. Something about them seems a little off. But I know the two front legs are symmetrical and skid-free. So it's nice knowing that the microwave won't slide around on top of my fridge.Some microwaves have negative reviews about over condensation and rust. This Comfee microwave has the same amount of condensation as my Mainstays microwave, which isn't much and is perfectly normal.My 14 year old Mainstays microwave never had child safety locks. But every microwave seems to have that these days. This Comfee microwave has it, and so did the Farberware microwave that I bought and returned a week ago. But no one should ever complain about the child safety locks. It literally takes two seconds to disable it. You just press 7 once, press 9 once, and then hold down the Open Door button for three seconds. Then the display will show 'Unlock' and it will stay unlocked forever, even if you unplug the microwave later on.I can't think of anything else to include in my review. My 14 year old microwave had a button that you pushed to make the door open. This one requires you to pull the door open instead. I honestly think that having it so that you manually pull the door open might be better than a push button mechanism, because if push button mechanisms wear out they can cause the microwave to do unexpected things like start for no reason or keep shutting off for no reason. I just hope that this microwave lasts me for at least four years, or even as long as my old microwave did which was around 14 years. I plan to take better care of it than I did my old microwave, so who knows. Maybe it will even last me 20 years. I promise to update this review if it ever breaks so people will know how long it lasted me for.I decided to bump this from four stars to five stars. It seems stupid to deduct a star just because I can't read the microwave from 12-24 feet away. Most people don't need to read the clock from that far away. Since anyone can read the clock from up to 8-10 feet away, the display clock is good enough.

"What you see is what you get" is the best type of way. I bought this expecting a dependable budget microwave because it looked like one, and from what I have experienced so far it has been one. I've been using it like I've used every other microwave, except this one is MINE. For a first microwave, this thing wasn't a bad pick at all. Quite the contrary. It's plug and play level easy to install, has good enough lighting for late-night microwaving in a dark kitchen, and, despite how it may seem, is versatile enough to have you covered from everything to softening your potatoes before you fry them to thawing meat. Don't expect to be able to fit multiple courses here, because this is a microwave on the smaller side, but rest assured knowing it's still large enough to do things like thaw a whole frozen steak. If you're looking for a small, lowkey microwave that can still get the job done being sold at a frugal price, then this microwave might just be the one for you. The appearance as is listed exactly 1:1, meaning no bait-and-switch marketing is going on here. The color is good too.While I can't speak to the long-term reliability of this item quite yet, I can attest to how it's not given me any issues resembling mechanical failure since buying the item. I personally am not the biggest fan of the door lock, but I can totally see how it could be useful in places where you don't want people that wouldn't be able to figure out how to get past the lock anyway to burn themselves on steamy hot food. While it may bug me, it could be a major selling point for certain buyers.I'm giving this appliance a five star rating because I cannot find any reason to give it any less — and not even that lock is going to make me take a point off, seeing as how that's on the buyer for purchasing fast and reading minimally, not on the product for having a feature.All in all, I would highly recommend this microwave.

Love this petite size microwave! Does what every microwave does but uses less space!
