NostalgiaNRMO7YW6A Retro Compact Countertop Microwave Oven, 0.7 Cu. Ft. 700-Watts with LED Digital Display, Child Lock, Easy Clean Interior, Yellow

In LOVE with this absolutely adorable retro microwave. This thing is perfect. I love the retro look, there's something comforting about it. The color is cute and goes with the overall vibe of our kitchen.It probably weighs about 25 lbs and wasn't difficult to remove from box and put on countertop. It was easy to setup clock and overall easy to use. One thing that took me a minute to understand is that you have to press the "pause/cancel" button before you can open the microwave door when cooking something.For a quick cook, you simply press the knob in and then can turn it to the left or right to decrease or increase cook time. There are also a bunch of preset cook times for things like soup, dinner plate, potatoes, etc. that you can select.The microwave is a fairly normal size but is a little smaller than our last one (which I like). It's easy to clean, the buttons work well and are responsive. The beeping when something is done is a fairly average noise level I'd say, nothing crazy unpleasant, but I always try to avoid that anyway.Overall this is more than a 5/5, it's just the best. I highly recommend to anyone searching for the comfort in that retro vibe who also wants a simple, straightforward and functional microwave for a decent price.

I used the microwave a month to make sure it wouldn't fall apart...based on some of the reviews here, I'm lucky the rotating plate didn't break, the handle didn't fall off, or the oven didn't burn down the kitchen. Instead, it survived, though it's only been a month, so who knows. Bottom line, this microwave is not only the best-looking microwave I've ever had, it's the easiest I've ever used. Hit the big round button and it turns on for one minute, then rotate the button to quickly scale your time up or down. There are a bunch of other features that are also easy to understand for anyone with a fifth grade education, but I've cooked meals and reheated items more than once a day for a month and I'm delighted with the overall performance.Yes, the interior light only comes on when the oven is running, not when you open the door. Are the other reviewers blind or something? That just isn't a big deal. Yes, it beeps three times when the cooking session ends. I don't live in a monastery under a vow of silence, so that's okay. The beeping is no louder than any other microwave I've owned. Yes, the power plug forces the microwave to sit about 2½ inches from the wall (see pics)...and the owners manual recommends it sit 3 inches from the wall for venting purposes. I'm okay with that.None of the hundreds of other reviews showed photos of the black version of the microwave, so I'm showing it in several pictures here. It is a handsome devil, even in black, and it harmonizes beautifully with my granite countertop. The interior is plenty big enough for a standard dinner plate (see pics), and therefore big enough for any frozen dinner.The 800 watts of power is slightly less than my usual 900 or 1,100 watts, but it cooks well and cooks evenly. I just follow the directions on a frozen dinner (which are written for 1,100 watt microwaves), maybe adding 10 or 20 seconds to the timing, and it comes out piping hot. Anyone who says it doesn't heat has a bad microwave and should return the oven within a week of purchasing...not sit around complaining about it.So I love my microwave. If it breaks in six months or six years, I'll just buy another one (hopefully when they are on sale, like I did this time). For intuitive microwavers like myself, it is unbelievably easy to use. And it's the most attractive retro-style microwave on the market, whatever color you choose, and it's really not a very close competition with any other design. I could not be happier.

The Nostalgia Modern Retro Countertop Microwave Oven is a charming addition to my office space. True to its name, the nostalgic design, complete with a knob, adds a touch of retro flair that I absolutely love. It’s simple, basic, and does exactly what it needs to without any fuss. The compact size is perfect for small office kitchens or personal spaces, and the 0.7 cu ft capacity is just right for reheating lunches or making quick snacks. Despite its 700 watts, it heats food efficiently and evenly. The 12 pre-programmed settings make it easy to use, even for someone who wants minimal effort. If you’re looking for a straightforward microwave with a nostalgic aesthetic that doesn’t take up much space, this is a great pick. It’s functional, stylish, and perfect for work or smaller spaces!

This is a fantastic microwave. It looks small, but it easily fits a full size plate and glass cover. Very easy to use. Heats quickly compared to my old one. I like that the child safety feature can be opened with just the touch of a button. Some of the others I looked at required you to manipulate the handle in some way to unlock the door and I don't think my mom's poor, arthritic hands could do that. She has no problem with this one though. Well worth the money IMO. Also - super cute!

nice looking microwave. I was hopping it would be a little smaller in size, it is not compact like the name states, so just check the size. It looks great on my counter, and works well with many different settings. I dont use microwaves often, but when i do it is convienent and quiet. It really does look better on the counter than a normal boring black alternative
