Chefman Countertop Microwave Oven 0.9 Cu. Ft., 900 Watts with 10 Power Levels, 6 Cooking Presets with One-Touch Express Cook, Eco Mode, Child Safety Lock, & Mute Button - Black

I purchased this microwave to use at my office. It is perfect in size and power for my small office! It’s easy to use and fits in a small space without sacrificing power. My food comes out perfectly hot every time. I will say the shortcut options are not optimal. I have a different microwave that has easier to use shortcut keys than this; however, it is not a deal breaker. This microwave was a great purchase for the price! If you need a microwave to fit in to a small space and still do a great job heating, this microwave is for you!

I bought this microwave primarily because, after 75 years of commercial availability, the intelligence level of our society has collapsed to the point that it intersects with the mad rush to have the government regulate everything. Now, microwave ovens are required to have childproof locks on the doors—even in households and other environments that never see children. This model has the idiocracy built right into the handle, letting me trigger the childproof feature in the same step I use to open the door. It allows me to pretend we don’t live in a dystopian world ruled by bureaucrats. All the other microwave ovens I looked at use a two-step process that would only frustrate people who just want to open a darn microwave door. This model comes with a warning sticker on the door explaining how to open it. If you're a landlord or have a VRBO, you'll want to leave the sticker on because otherwise somebody is going to rip the handle off trying to get the door open, or maybe even go the nuclear option and try to pry it open with a knife. People aren't going to stand there trying to solve a microwave rubicks cube at the expense of their Hot Pocket getting cold. Even when it's for the children! I have no doubt this microwave is actually using all 700 watts of its rated power. It outcooks the 700-watt Sunbeam it replaced—the little ray of sunshine that opened either by pulling the door or pressing the huge “open” button, without any needless bureaucratic hurdles or handles standing in the way. A microwave oven from a more civilized age. My only major complaint about this microwave is that the keypad requires superhuman strength in the fingers to register that a button has been pressed. I recommend putting your shoulder into it and letting your body weight do the work to avoid getting an injury. The microwave needs to be up against a wall to use it because the force required to use the keypad will push the microwave back until there is something to stop it, and then you need to keep pushing until it beeps. And if you want, for example, to hold the "4" button down for it automatically start for 4 minutes instead of pressing 4-0-0-start, you have to maintain Herculean pressure against the 4 button for several strenuous seconds, straining to keep your knuckles from buckling like you're trying to hold an entire set of encyclopedias against the wall using only the strength from a single finger. And I mean all the encyclopedias. From A to Z. It's easier to do 4-0-0-start so frankly that feature requiring the encyclopedia maneuver is worthless. I suppose the manufacturer is trying to future-proof their microwaves against full-blown microwave tyranny, where even the buttons would have to be childproof, because frankly, these buttons already are. The microwave works well, it looks sleek, it is the proper size and noise level for it's wattage, it needs to be up against a wall, and the child-proof door opening mechanism is the best in it's class.

It’s not giant but works great cheapest one I could find reliable strong has good clock to set it works for price GREAT !! 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️ got here fast no issues to receive it in middle black Friday Xmas rush on internet amazon great job

For the money this is a pretty good basic counter top microwave. I don't do a lot of microwave cooking so I just needed something to reheat certain leftovers, pop popcorn, and speed up defrosting some frozen items when needed at the last minute. Being in my 80s with no children in the house, I'm not crazy about the look lock but I quickly got used to it. It's not hard on these old hands. When I grab the door handle to open the door, I just use the side of my pointer finger to easily lift up on the lock to unlatch it and then pull forward as usual. And no, there is no way to disengage the lock. You just have to get use to it and trust me, it's no big deal. Everything else is pretty standard for a basic turn table microwave. I read there is a way to program it so children can't start the microwave but I don't need that so didn't pay any attention on how to do it. Considering how expensive microwaves can be, for my basic needs on a limited budget, this will be just fine for us.

It’s nice looking. Low moisture inside after cooking - It must have good ventilation. I’ve cooked oatmeal, vegetables, thawed meat, and boiled water so far. My old 700w microwave would have dripped condensation from the door when I opened it. I love being able to silence the beeper permanently. Seems to run quietly as well. I’m still getting used to the controls, and the childproof door, but that will become second nature after using it a while. It’s very compact - interior opening being 6” high. The size works fine for me. My dishes fit. It’s half the price of what I paid for my previous microwave. This is just my 3rd day using it, but in my opinion, it is equal, if not better than the 700w microwave I had before. It’s perfect for me. Hope it lasts a long time.

Affordable, small counter top product. Cooked my noodles well on its first use. Can’t complain. Oh if you can’t figure out the “child safety” handle you got some serious issues lol

Happy with this microwave purchase, it looks great in all black and it’s easy to operate. Sounds solid when in use, no rattles, vibrations or anything. I should note the inside of mine is white, not the grey color shown in the pictures. I like that the beeping sound can be easily muted with 1 button and no advanced menu diving is required. The child lock button on the handle allows for quiet opening and closing of the door, no slamming required like many microwaves Overall it’s a great little microwave at the right price point .

This is a great microwave, it gives a neat and tidy look. It wipes clean easily and even has a safety latch door handle. The safety is simple to use and helps with keeping the home safe and child proofed. I actually prefer the safety latch over a lock button on the number pad, as I have been subject to lately when visiting family. A simple, inconspicuous latch, just needs a light squeeze at the door handle, and boom…it’s unlocked.

I am very happy with this little microwave. I didn’t find the buttons hard to press like some people mentioned. I like the choices on the presets. I just received it today and used it to heat my supper up and it worked perfectly. It is quite small, but that’s fine for me, my previous microwave was quite big and I only really used it to heat things up anyway. I bought the Chefman specifically because I had just bought one of their air fryers and I was so pleased with it. I thought I’d stick to that same brand. I think it’s great value for money and does exactly what it says it does.

This was such a great deal!! This was perfect for my house that didn’t include a microwave!! The inside is a bit small but it works perfect for us!! The child lock is also very good and helpful!

This is a great first microwave, budget friendly, and works great. Although I would get the larger size next time as some of my plates don't fit in it, just make sure you read the dimensions.

So far it's working out very well. Its a nice small compact microwave thats perfect if you don't have large items you use to microwave and you have limited space. Very good for small apartments or dorm rooms.

Works great for a 7 cu. Ft. Microwave, and in my opinion, works the same as a bigger Microwave. I choose Chefman because I research the name and discover they make small appliances for many years and I not disappointed.
