Retro Countertop MicrowavNostalgiae Oven

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.

The Nostalgia Retro Countertop Microwave Oven (0.9 cu. ft., 800W) is an absolute gem for my kitchen! Not only does it add a charming vintage touch with its classic retro design, but it also performs beautifully. The 800 watts of power heat food quickly and evenly, and the LED digital display is bright, clear, and incredibly easy to use. I had a similar Nostalgia microwave before, and after about seven years of daily use, the enamel inside finally started to wear through. That experience actually made me confident in buying another—seven years is impressive for such a stylish and affordable appliance! This new model feels just as sturdy and well-made, and I’m expecting it to last just as long, if not longer. I love how intuitive the controls are—simple buttons, straightforward presets, and a smooth-turning dial that keeps the retro charm alive while offering modern convenience. Despite its compact footprint, the 0.9 cu. ft. capacity is surprisingly spacious and fits full-size plates with ease. It looks fantastic on the countertop, works reliably, and adds a fun, nostalgic vibe to the kitchen. If you want a microwave that’s stylish, functional, and delightfully retro, this one is definitely worth it!

Awesome color n quality! Love the retro look n works great!

Super cute, love the knob dial. Love that you can disable the child lock. Super simple and functions well. We've had it for about 4 months so far

Excellent little lavender microwave! I bought this to match my kitchen things and to replace my 30 year old microwave which was rusting under the rotating plate. It's a bit hard to figure out all the different controls and presets, and apparently you can program it, but I haven't tried to figure any of that out yet. Mostly what we put in it we just push the default knob and it starts for 1 minute, and when it gets to X amount of seconds, we pull out whatever we were heating up. Cheesy nachos take 25 - 30 seconds. Nothing we've made has taken over 3 minutes to make, so it's pretty easy to push the button and turn the knob to the time you need. I don't think I've seen in the manual, or have figured out how to just use it as a kitchen timer yet, which I thought was a major oversight on the maker's part, but I have a phone with a timer too, so it's not a dealbreaker. I love the retro look, and the compact size. I would have preferred a slightly larger model, but didn't realize how small it would be until we got it. It still works great, looks cute as heck, and takes less time to cook/heat things with half the power my old model had! Awesome, right? I give it 5 stars for cuteness and features I haven't figured out yet. 5 stars for noise level - it's very quiet! 5 stars for efficiency! I have to give it 4 stars because of the learning curve. I mean it has pictures of things on the screen for presets, and there are things I wouldn't even think to put in a microwave on it! Maybe its more multifunctional than I knew I nuker could be? And lastly, 4 stars for size. If you've always dreamed of a pastel lavender kitchen, get this microwave! It matches my Beautiful lavender appliances perfectly, too! :)

I love this microwave. easy to use and has a child safety lock. no noise, great color. easy to read instructions and dials. I would recommend this one, especially if you love the retro look.

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.

Pour le prix, très bon micro onde, qui propose suffisamment de programme et qui est très disign, je recommande.

Nice features, cool design and simple to use.

Thank you I just love it ,colour pretty thank you again
