ノスタルジア レトロ 0.7立方フィート 700ワット カウンタートップ 電子レンジ オーブン ブラック

I bought this microwave for the retro design, which I really like, and it does work once you learn its quirks. Unfortunately, normal timed cooking is not explained in the instruction manual, and the controls are much less intuitive than they should be. Turning the dial by itself only scrolls through preset programs. What the manual does not explain is that you must press POWER first (even once at 100%) to unlock the ability to turn the dial and set cooking time, then press START. This is effectively the real “timed cook” mode, but it’s undocumented and very easy to miss. Another frustration is the 30-second “express” mode. You still have to press START, and then press CANCEL just to open the door. Requiring an extra button press to stop or open the door makes the express feature feel not very express at all. Once you know all this, the microwave is usable, but the learning curve is unnecessary. The manual should clearly explain how timed cooking actually works and why the door behavior is different. I’d recommend it for the look, not for ease of use.

Love it! Couldn't have asked for a more perfect sized microwave for my basement relaxation area! 🤗 No more running upstairs to pop popcorn to watch movies. 🤣 Easy to set up and use.

Great microwave fits perfect in my kitchen

I've only used it once so far (White rice, 90sec.)... Besides that, I'll use it for melting butter for lobster tails, but I don't know what else. I love cooking, but I don't have the appetite I used to so I eat once a day or eat half a meal a day. But a person still needs a good microwave, and this one is good looking and seems to be of good quality, it IS... You can tell. The big old microwave behind it is going to a new home, freeing up that space for food prep, yay! I'm glad I chose this microwave... Good price, too, with 24% off, it was only $89.99... But, with my Amazon Prime Chase Visa card rewards, it was "free" to me! Still, with a list price of $117.99, it seems like a steal for such a good microwave. I needed for it to be smaller, which it is... At first glance of the carousel plate, I could tell it was smaller (perfect). It fits well, size-wise, and appearance-wise.

I only use to reheat food so I can’t speak on the other program. Works well for me tho. I wish the inside was a just tiny bit bigger. It’s so cute!
