Chefman Countertop Microwave Oven 1.1 Cu. Ft., 1000 Watts with 10 Power Levels, 6 Cooking Presets with One-Touch Express Cook, Eco Mode, Child Safety Lock, & Mute Button - Black

Very nice! The safety lock is amazing as I have a toddler in the house. It’s pretty quiet and it’s a great size!

This is the real "baby shower" gift! Follow the registry and all that, but my goodness this has saved our marriage and bodies. Since becoming parents, we've bemoaned that we can't eat (anything warm) once baby's asleep. Everything is so unnecessarily loud and has no off button. Want to turn on the oven? Great, every button is going to beep as you turn it on, but then that's not it, because it'll sing a song when it's done preheating before you have to make another beep again to turn it off. Want to turn on the microwave? Again, every button touch is a beep before you have a whole song when it's ready! We found ourselves doing ridiculous things like "don't forget to put 9 minutes on the microwave before baby goes to sleep" so that we could minimize the beeps to just one when starting it, then staying in front of it the whole time and opening the door before it finished. Sometimes that one beep would still wake up our baby, though. The ability to turn the sound off was the answer to our prayers. I hadn't known it existed, but--in retrospect quite thankfully!--our new apartment didn't have a microwave. We've bought then given away 4+ microwaves at this point, so we were pretty peeved and initially planned to get one for free from Marketplace. But then we saw this one. We saw that the holy grail of a silent appliance existed. We saw that an appliance designer had finally heard our prayers?! So here we are, living like royalty, eating warm food at night and during nap time and anytime the mood strikes us. Microwave is truly silent, we can use whatever features we'd like, we no longer have to ration off the remaining time or beeps or fight over whether warming food up is worth waking the baby. We got the smaller size, which is (barely) large enough for our largest dinner plate. Seems to heat food up evenly and spins well. It is a little slower than microwaves we've used in the past, but not by much. The eco mode does seem to turn itself off, which is annoying. Overall, still love this purchase!

Update: The electronics in this microwave began to burn up (producing a noxious smell and smoke)14 months after purchase. I will not be buying an Emerson microwave again. Original review: After using this for a week, I can say it performs great and looks fine. It heats stuff up faster than my last Emerson.FYI, I use it mostly for tea, soup and the occasional melting of chocolate. It does a great job on all, though I have to use shorter heat installments for the chocolate so as not to burn it. The mirrored front is a minus for me as it is a canvas for fingerprints, especially around the door handle. The child proof latch is not an issue. They send all kinds of info on how to disable it, which I did right off the bat. I really like the simple, large number pad and intuitive power and time setting features. So far, I'm very happy with this microwave and can recommend it highly if you are okay with fingerprints.

Very affordable. Got it for my college dorm room and it fit right on my small desk. Works wonders!

This microwave tucks right into the spot between my kitchen sink and the wall. It's roomier inside than you might think, and the darker color of the inside walls hides splatters while being really easy to wipe down. It's not the strongest of microwaves, but I prefer the lower wattage given the electrical setup in my apartment. Problems and solutions: If you notice bubbling on the button panel after a while, it's because you didn't peel off the clear plastic sheet that protects them during shipping. Also, the display lights are an extremely bright cold blue light, so bright it hurt my eyes to walk past it late at night. To fix this I bought orange adhesive film meant for brake lights and placed two layers of it over the display. It's still very bright, but no longer hurts my eyes. Overall this is great for a smaller apartment or dorm room.

I purchased and received the Chefman Countertop little microwave. I’m downsizing my life. A senior who wants less in my home - not more. The huge Sharp microwave was wonderful - all the bells and whistles (which I never really took advantage of.) It also took up a large chunk of countertop space. This little Chefman is very powerful. It did take me a few days to adjust to the smaller opening; but once I did, I was in love. And it’s wonderful having the extra counter space! The quality of this small microwave actually surprised me. I use the same times for microwaving items on this little guy that I used on my Sharp. I’m certain you won’t regret making the purchase of the 700 watt Chefman Microwave. UPDATE-I think some of the negative reviews are from people who didn’t thoroughly read the directions. There are power levels - just like any large microwave. If you feel your water isn’t heating quickly enough, check the power level. One lady mentioned that she had to tap the “cook time” before each use. Not true. There is the Start/+30s (second) button that can be tapped as many times as you want. I tap it three times (= 1 minute 30 seconds) to heat my coffee creamer - As well as using the 1 - 6 buttons for 1-touch quick cooking. I use the leftovers button quite often for items that aren’t even leftovers! Play around with the buttons - tap them to see what they do. And please, please READ THE DIRECTIONS !!

It is what I needed but arrived dented. I need a microwave now so I will use it anyway, I am just disappointed. Not sure on durability but works out of the box. Set up function like the clock are not intuitive and you will need the instructions. It has a child lock and I was not expecting that but is a minor annoyance. The rear plug is not flat so it sits far from the wall if the plug is behind the microwave. I found a flat plug power strip to at least get it with in 2-3 inches. 3 stars are for the plug, weird child lock, and mostly the dent.

This is a compact microwave, but breakfast sandwiches and popcorn fit well and keep us stoked as we work from home. One tip: This is a second m/w for us, and compared with a full-sized one, we found it took double the time to achieve a good result. As we purchased this one for fit, it's not an issue. Just experiment and you'll find the right timings.

So far so good with this new microwave. Only got it a couple of weeks ago but I find it's easy to use. The child lock is a good location, in the top of the door opener. Looks great, does not take a lot of room on my counter. Happy with my purchase to this day, hoping that this will be the case for a few yrs at least.

Parfait

Happy with purchase, aesthetically neutral, functions well even though it’s not a well known electronics brand. I’m pleasantly satisfied with the quality.

Surprisingly good for the price

Great microwave specially for the price
