Countertop Microwave Oven 0.7 Cu. Ft., 700 Watts with 10 Power Levels, 6 Cooking Presets with One-Touch Express Cook, Eco Mode, Child Safety Lock, & Mute Button - Black

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.

Reasonable price for a seemingly well made appliance. The child lock is a bit of an excessive overreach but that's only a subjective opinion after using an old school Goldstar for 20 years. Does the job well for an economy unit, no thrills or gizmos included. The buttons are bit dark and small, also, you have hold them down for a second or two sometimes for them to work. Noise level is as expected - not too loud. The fit is perfect if you have an average size counter top. Cleaning is as with any other economy oven. Features - just a basic microwave, no thrills.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I’m very happy with this microwave! It works great, heats food quickly and evenly, and is very easy to use. The size is perfect and it looks nice in my kitchen. So far, it has been working perfectly and I’m very satisfied with my purchase. Definitely recommend it!

I bought this microwave for a small apartment, and it's been exactly what I needed. Despite its compact size, it has plenty of room for reheating leftovers, making popcorn, or warming up frozen meals. It doesn't take up much counter space, which is a huge plus in a smaller kitchen. The controls are simple and straightforward, and I like that there are quick-start buttons for common cooking times. It heats food evenly for everyday use, and the door opens and closes smoothly without feeling cheap. At 700 watts, it may take a little longer than larger, more powerful microwaves, but that's expected and hasn't been an issue for me. It's quiet, reliable, and has performed consistently since I started using it. Overall, this is an excellent microwave if you're looking for something affordable, compact, and dependable. It's a great choice for apartments, dorm rooms, offices, or anyone who doesn't need a full-size model. Highly recommended!

Got it tested it out loved it the only problem I have is the filament around the buttons started peeling it's like white film it's weird because it's only peeling around two buttons and I said white film I mean the clear film that sits over the interface other than that it's all good like the safety feature with the door where you have to pull up the door latch in order to open it I have it high enough so kids can't mess with it anyway some of my teams could grab the bottom of it but they can't unlock it because the lock is at the top so I love that definitely buy it I wish they make a bigger interior version some frozen dinners just don't fit in quite well have to use the oven but other than that good let me know if you have another one with a wider interior that probably won't be a microwave it'll be a microwave oven which is different but if you do let me know amazing product

Small, compact, and doesn't pull too many watts. Exactly what I needed. If I pull more than a thousand watts where I'm renting, the lights start to flicker and I'm at risk of tripping a breaker. This is absolutely a great option for exactly that setup. It takes up very little space atop my mini fridge and runs well below the threshold that I need it to be at. It does take longer but is not an issue for home use.

Update: Chefman Customer Support contacted me nearly a month after filing a warranty claim. They then promptly dealt with my claim and shipped me a working replacement. I am changing my review to 3 Stars from 1. This microwave died completely after 37 days of very minimal use. It was used a few times to reheat leftovers before it died. I attempted an Amazon returned but they refused and sent me to the warranty and support page of the company that produces the microwave, Chefman. It has been over 2 weeks and the company has not replied to any contact or emails. The microwave wasn't all that great to begin with. I was disappointed in how dim the interior light bulb was. The controls were difficult to operate. It was barely functional and very very loud overall not a very good microwave and not very durable at all. Avoid purchasing this microwave! It doesn't last and the company does not support their products.

Overall pretty good microwave. The latch on the handle I actually really ended up liking. The buttons are hard to press but I feel like overtime that will get better. Isn’t too loud and looks sleek.

I would def. buy this again, very compact doesn't take up alot of space would be great for dorm room, I use it in my home I don't have alot of space but I don't use it for large items so works perfect, would def. recommend it

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.

Ce micro-ondes Chefman de 0,3 m³ (environ 20 litres) est une excellente option pour ceux qui cherchent un appareil compact sans sacrifier la puissance. Voici mon retour après test : ​- Format idéal : La taille correspond exactement à la description. Il ne prend pas trop de place sur le plan de travail, ce qui est parfait pour les petites cuisines ou les studios. ​- Performance de chauffe : Avec ses 900 Watts, il chauffe rapidement et uniformément. Les 10 niveaux de puissance permettent d'ajuster la cuisson avec précision selon les besoins. ​- Fonctionnalités : L’appareil offre de nombreuses options et préréglages (popcorn, pomme de terre, etc.) qui facilitent l'usage quotidien. Le mode Éco est également un ajout appréciable pour limiter la consommation d'énergie. ​- Sécurité enfant (Le gros point fort) : Installé sur un plan de travail à hauteur des enfants chez moi, la fonction de verrouillage de sécurité est un vrai plus indispensable qui apporte une grande tranquillité d'esprit. ​Le petit bémol : Le seul point de frustration est l'absence d'une fonction "démarrage rapide" (type touche +30 secondes instantanée dès la première pression) que l'on retrouve souvent sur d'autres modèles. Il faut ici effectuer une ou deux manipulations supplémentaires pour lancer la chauffe. ​En résumé : Un appareil robuste, esthétique et très sécurisant, idéal pour un usage familial quotidien malgré l'absence de raccourci rapide.

Works great excellent choice for truckers like myself who have limited space and something that uses minimal power

Bought it for my Mom and Step Dad along with a Chefman air fryer and they are super happy with both and have all their cooking needs sorted. Great deal and apparently the button volume mute is also a much appreciated bonus!.
