Farberware Classic FMO07ABTWHA Microwave, 0.7 cubic feet 700 watts 0.7 cu. ft. black

Perfect little microwave for me. A few comments about other reviews: Some folks complain about low power. Well, it's clearly marked as a 700W microwave, so that's expected. I would argue that the somewhat slower cooking times make for a better overall heating experience, but regardless, if you want faster times, buy a higher wattage oven.This thing heats food up nicely. The added seconds is sort of meaningless even in our fast-paced world.Secondly, about the locking door. The company obviously heard the complaints. So they've added very prominent instructions on how to easily disable the door lock if you don't have kids. If I remember right, the instructions are included on the top of the appliance as you unpack it. I followed the very simple instructions, and have had zero problems. They're almost giving away this thing. Nothing to complain about on my end.Do be aware that if, like me, you microwave pre-cooked rice envelopes, they won't stand up in this small microwave. You have to lay them flat. But that doesn't seem to hurt anything. They still microwave for me in the traditional 90 seconds. You might want to make it 100 seconds and flip it over at 50. That's what I do.

This is the classic, small, cheap, low-power microwave that has graced millions of dorm rooms, office break rooms and the like. If you look carefully, you'll see that most of these small, 700 watt microwaves have absolutely identical control panels, meaning that the guts of this one and most of the others are likely very similar. I am sure Faberware licenses their name to whoever makes this, and the same factory in China probably makes most of the other ones that compete with it. A low-power microwave seems to be a commodity product at this point. So I would get whatever one is cheapest, in my case it was this black Faberware, but your mileage may vary.Advantages: It's cheap, it is very compact and good for small spaces, and because it has lower power it is less likely to trip a breaker than a full-sized microwave. This also means it is a good choice for an RV, cabin with a moderate off-grid power system, etc. I confirmed that even a Jackery 1000 can run it for several minutes without overheating, although it actually pulls just a tiny bit over 1,000 watts. The 700 watt rating is the energy going into your food, not how much power the microwave uses, I suppose. But even pulling 1000 watts, it doesn't completely eat the battery in the Jackery 1000 to run this thing, it goes down 1-2% per minute of operation, meaning you could absolutely power this in a power outage with the big Jackery power station or something equivalent.The disadvantages are simple too: It has a bit less power than a regular microwave so your food will take a bit longer to heat up. It can get stuff just as hot, it just takes a bit longer. That is really no big deal unless you are trying to microwave a frozen dinner and the recipe is designed for a regular, full-power microwave and you'll have to guess how much more time it will need. More significantly, the oven itself is pretty small, meaning any oversized dinner plate or particularly tall item is not going to fit inside it. But it otherwise has everything a regular microwave has including a small turntable to help your food cook more evenly.Most people will step up to a larger and more powerful microwave as their daily driver. If, for whatever reason, that doesn't work for you, this thing is fine and it isn't really that big of a step down from a normal sized microwave.

It stopped working 2 months after purchasing. I purchased the additional 2yr warranty. Tried to submit a claim but bc its still within manufacturer warranty I must go through manufacturer except there is no valid phone number for them. All 3 provided redirect to another number and the final number is no longer in service. I've been getting the run around! Don't waste your money!!

Got this for a studio apartment and it’s great. Fits in a med/small space and still has lots of room inside to cook whatever we want.

Bought this as a housewarming gift for a friend, and it was a lot smaller than I had expected.
