I can say with 100% certainty that I’ve never been excited about a microwave but I love this little beauty! It’s the smallest in the line but just perfect for our kitchen counter & large enough for coffee warm ups & baked potatoes. Adds a touch of whimsy to our decor as well. If you appreciate vintage appliances you will love this.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    I bought one of these microwaves in approximately 2011 to replace a really huge one I'd bought way back when microwaves were just getting popular around 1985. The big one worked great but I just had to replace it with something more compact when I moved to a house with a smaller kitchen, so I bought this one in 2011. It gave me perfect service till my century-old house in Detroit finally needed major electrical work. Something went wrong--a power surge or something--and it was fatal to the microwave, so after the electricians charged me an arm and a leg for new electrical service--new wiring and grounding, etc. I had to replace the microwave because of the damage it suffered because of low voltage (or something like that.)

    Fortunately I found the exact same model at Amazon, and here it is in my kitchen looking now--just as good and even better, since it's brand new. I consider the old (2011) one to have given me enough service (about 14 years of reliable daily use) for it to be retired and replaced with a new copy of the same model.

    The feature I like best about it is the "express" key. You put your food into it, close the door, and you already know how long you want it to run and the power level. To reheat a cup of tepid coffee, it's a minute on high. So you push the "express key" twice and the "power" key once and voila. If the coffee cup is only lukewarm and not cold, you push "express key" just once and the power key once and voila. You get used to that and you do it without thinking, and your kitchen experience is quick and automatic.

    If I'm thawing a container of my good chili mac (chili with cooked pasta added) I know exactly how long I want to zap it and at what heat level. Three taps on the "power" key, twist the timer knob to about six minutes and voila. Hot chili mac for lunch.

    This is an example of how important a "new" appliance becomes when its usefulness is realized. What would we do without internet? Personally I couldn't live without it. Of course the refrigerator, introduced around 1920, became "a kitchen essential" immediately--"spoiled food" became nothing but an ugly, dangerous memory--as did the electric toaster a while later, and then the electric mixer, the electric coffee maker, and then the electric frying pan in the 1950s--one of my favorites.

    And finally the microwave. And this Nostalgia Electric model is dynamite! It's a cool-looking "retro-style" addition to the kitchen counter--compact enough not to take up too much space--and does perfect work for me every day just as the first one did for 14 years.

    So do I like this microwave? Uh...yeah, I guess I do.

    I don't know where to start!! This is the most stunning microwave I have ever bought.
    I honestly couldn't believe how beautiful it was when I opened it, proper retro and its so shiny and the colour is stunning.
    It works really well and has cooked food better than other microwaves I have used.
    If you want a beautiful red microwave then this is the one for you.

    This microwave should not be sold in the UK. It arrived with an American style plug fitted. Not safe to use adapter or converter, as stated in info book, which came with the microwave. I contacted seller and two electricians. Seller sent me an adapter separately. Only meant for sale in Canada and USA. It could result in injury and damage. I had to return this microwave, as it was not safe to use. A hassle getting lable printed. Then courier turned up with a label ! Very stressful. No information when ordering that it had an American style plug fitted. Very disappointed, as I loved the colour and style.
