My main requirement for a micro is that it be easy to use. I don’t cook with the micro, it’s a kitchen tool, like my blender, or my knives, so it needs to be super easy to use, one touch, something to aid my cooking, not do my cooking.This thing has too many necessary steps to work, for me. As an example, if I want to give a quick warm up to my coffee, I want to stick it in and hit one button, but not with this micro – the coffee goes in, then you must push the beverage button, then you must read the screen, it’s asking you how many cups are inside, then you pick, “1”, then you hit start. Too complicated to just give a few seconds to a lukewarm cup of java. Also, for 1 cup, it puts 1:06 (one minute, 6 seconds) on the timer. It assumes you’ve got refrigerator-cold liquid inside and you want it hot. I just had lukewarm coffee that I wanted to heat up so I could finish drinking it and it made the coffee so hot that I couldn’t touch the cup, and my coffee tasted horrible after it cooled down to a drinkable temp. That entire process, from start to finish, to warm up a cup of coffee, was just too much (especially in the morning, when I need that cup of coffee!!). This is the first microwave I’ve seen that doesn’t have a 30-second or 1-minute button, for just this thing, to “nuke” something for just a few seconds. Microwaves are for convenience, it would seem a convenient 30-second button would be mandatory. So, if I’ve set the veggies on the table, and they’ve cooled off, I want to zap them for 15-30 seconds, again, I want one-touch, not 4 steps, including reading the screen.I can understand how this would be a nice feature if one does some actual cooking in a micro, so if you do want a higher level of function, beyond just a tool to do a quick heat, or a pre-cook (like baked potatoes), this micro would be for you. If you just use it, like I do, as an additional tool in the kitchen, you probably wont like it.Another thing that bothered me is the beeping. It just beeps too much, of course this is because one has to push so many buttons and it beeps with every push. It beeps when you open the door. It beeps multiple times when the cooking cycle is done, and again every few minutes if you don’t get back to the micro to pull out whatever you stuck in. There’s no option to turn the beeping off.It appears to be a solid micro. It’s a bit louder than my last one, but not so much that you can’t keep talking over it. It’s also a little smaller than I expected, didn’t fit my favorite large coffee mug, but that’s my fault for not reading the dimensions carefully, and that’s not a deal breaker, if that had been the only issue, I would have just lived with it, but on top of everything else, I decided to return this microwave after a few days, it just didn’t work in my kitchen in the way I need this tool to work with my method of cooking.

This is for the RCA 1.2 Cubic Foot Microwave, Stainless Steel that has the minute control buttons laid out in a single VERTICAL row.A bit larger than I planned to purchase, but well worth it for me. This is the only microwave I’ve ever found (at least looking in this price range) with the control buttons laid out this way. That makes a huge difference for people with long fingernails and/or limitations in their hands or fingers.For those experiencing any of these issues, you know how annoying it can be to use most electronic devices…trying to jab with your nails or punch with the knuckles. Even if I were left-handed, it would still be easy to use my right thumb to directly press most all of the buttons because of the way they are arranged on the side.Also, having a handle on the door is so much better for many than the push and pop open type. It is totally effortless (and painless).It works great, but I do wish it had the “Add 30 Seconds” button. But I’ve used a lot of microwaves since the mid 70s and can certainly overlook something as minor as that.Purchased unit April 2017 and have had no issues or problems.(^.^)

Bought this seven years ago and iit just died. Loved it all the time I had it, though I didn’t use the bells and whistles much.Mine has the same exact product number, but the dimensions in the manual are slightly different and mine was a 900W microwave. I just added an extra 15 sec to the recommended time on those tv dinners or chose the middle time on the 700-1100W times given and things cooked just fine.(I always check when cooking something to see what the time is based on, usually 1100W, but sometimes more recently 1200W. Again, I just add about 15 extra seconds for the 1100 and a bit more for the 1200.)It got a bit finicky towards the end and I’d have to be persistent to get it to start, but it kept going until it just quit. I guess 7 years isn’t too bad these days.I loved the look of it and the removable tray that I could wash now and then. The handle was sleek and comfortable and not too difficult to open, though I did add some non-slip stuff to the feet so I didn’t have to worry about it at all. I had it on a glass cutting board so any condensation drip wouldn’t ruin the cheap particle board of my microwave cart.The blue timer was easy to read and the clock was easy to set. Some might find it a bit noisy to run, but the sound never bothered me too much. I didn’t like to stand right in front of it while it was running though, made my insides feel odd. I liked that the timer was loud enough to hear from the other room, which is generally where I would be while it was cooking, and the repeat allowed me to leave it in the recommended additional minute or so and still know when to get it out and not forget it. My only concern was whether it would bother my roommate if she was sleeping, but she said it didn’t. (She’s a sound sleeper though.)All in all a good little microwave. I’d recommend it, especially for the price.

Does have short instant cook button, controls are a little complicated and its inside is smaller than I expected with the larger 1.2 c.f. oven

Quality of the microwave not as nice as I expected. Capacity was smaller than I thought, took a little longer time to get my food warm up .
