4.0 out of 5 stars Figured out the child lock! 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.Variation: Color: Black
4.0 out of 5 stars BE CAREFUL WHERE YOU PLUG IT IN! This little microwave is okay. EXTREMELY confusing buttons and horrible wait time till you can open the doorthat one can override manually but why need for this in the first place. Normal microwaves just end timeand you can open the door, with this one you can’t. Unless you force left side of the button and then open the door at the same time.Having said that..BE VERY CAREFUL WHERE AND HOW YOU PLUG IT IN!The microwave is 700 W and if you run it in the kitchen plugged into a normal outlet.. as in one that does not have the little red and black buttons to reset in case of overload then you may run in trouble if you run any other appliance at the same time on the same circuit.Lets say you have this microw. running and on the next outlet on the same circuit you run your coffe makerand on the next one you have your toaster going.. and if none of those outlets have those mini breakerssomething this can cause frequent tripping of your breakers on the main board or even casue overheatingof wires as there is way to much going on on the same circuit as in most cases all outlets in the kitchenaside from maybe your oven and or dishwasher run on the same circuit and are attached to one and the samecircuit brekaer.So be careful. Ideally connect it only to protected outlet. And that same goes to any area of the house where you will have this thing connected to avoid any hazards. If you don’t have safe outlets then upgrade them. It cost about 20 to 50 dollars per outlet to do so and it is for life and safe peace of mind.Anyway back to the item. It does what any microwave supposed to do. I don’t care for any presets and I don’t use any of them I only run by adding time minutes and for that it works but yes, I did not know about the circuits and stuff so it ended up overheating my wires and costly electric visit. So thread wisely.This goes to ANY microwave out there and any high watts item you use.. so anything over 800W and especially those big microwaves and or other things like coffee pots that can easily take 1500 W per piece .. beware!!!Good luck and many happy meals to you!Variation: Color: Apricot
5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic microwave. 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.Variation: Color: Classic White
5.0 out of 5 stars Great microwave - But Removed the Plastic Film! I bought this microwave nearly 6 years ago. Within the last year the paint on the bottom cracked where the wheels of the tray holder go round and around and I can see rust forming near there and around the bottom areas of the door. And now I think, I think I know why. We like this microwave, the style and size fit our kitchen decor and so, I bought a new one just like it to replace it even though I could expect the same problem to show up 6 years from now. Except – upon getting the new one I learned that the entire exterior is covered in a thin covering of plastic. And so was mine from 6 years ago! I never removed it back then. All this time not only was it covering the exterior metal surfaces, the vent slots on the left side were completely covered too! I think now, perhaps, that this resulted in keeping moisture from getting out of the microwave and promoted the paint separation and rust to form. A few of the Amazon user videos show stickers on top of their microwave. Seeing them tells me they too have not removed the film as the stickers would be removed along with the film gone from the surfaces. I hope I’ve resolved my past problem from being a future one. Instincts tell me to still be on guard of any moisture forming and collecting on the bottom interior surfaces. I have noticed tgat rubber feet on the bottom have been greatly enlarged so that the microwave won’t be rolling around like the old one did. That’s nice. Thanks and good luck.Variation: Color: Apricot
5.0 out of 5 stars WYSIWYG in a good way. “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.Variation: Color: Black
