Galanz GLCMKZ09RDR09 Retro Countertop Microwave Oven with Auto Cook & Reheat, Defrost, Quick Start Functions, Easy Clean with Glass Turntable, Pull Handle, 0.9 cu ft, Red

While the expensive stainless steel, convection oven, and overhead stove vent, microwave, lost its microwave function everything else works. That likely means the Magnetron has failed. It could mean the diode has failed too, but either case has too much labor involved to repair. I looked at having a new one installed, but those big box stores that do it require a specific vent size and refuse to do any modifications, so you can be left with a mess dealing with contractors. The good news is except for the microwaves themselves every other function works. I can even use the convection oven feature if needed. Still, I need the convenience of a microwave.Thinking about it a bit I remembered I have a large countertop oven on my prep table. This particular model fits perfectly on top. I bought a heat-resistant mat to prevent slippage of the microwave feet and installed it out of the box in five minutes. While much smaller and less powerful than my old unit, this fits most of the things I use a microwave for. Heating water, melting butter, small frozen dinners, reheating pizza and sandwiches, it does them all fine. The price of this was fantastic as it cost roughly one tenth of the cost of my old unit, and less than the trip charge a local repair facility would charge me to evaluate a repair estimate.I like the retro look and the simple controls although there is a bit of a learning curve. My old unit had mostly intuitive buttons, so selecting power levels and presets was easy. I never bothered with the manual on my old unit, but I've had to access this one a few times for the special timed cook, reheat, defrost and other settings. It's not overly complex, but you do need some information. I laminated a card with the basic settings I'll use and attached it with a magnet to my fridge. That should help. despite less power most things I've used it with cook nearly as fast and as complete as the old unit. Recommended.

Wow - this looks cool, and I found a lot of good reviews online on Amazon and others. We needed this while our kitchen was being remodeled to hold us over in our "basement break room". So, we used it every day 2-3 times a day for 2 months. Worked like a champ and created a great vibe in our break room to help keep our spirits up. ;)Pros:- looks cool- works perfectly- compact but big enough- easy to use basic featuresCons- power is about 1/2 of our normal microwave, so we needed to almost double some cooking times - but no big deal once we got used to it- advanced features are "advanced" and you will need to consult the manual - no way to remember them unless you use them all the time. Or do what we did - just used the basic features :)

This is the cutest microwave ever. I purchased for my office and it works like a charm. I've received so many compliments on it. Some people didn't even know it was a microwave. It definitely serves its purpose. My food comes out nice and hot each and every time. Easy to use and doesn't take up much space.

Easy to use, very much on the smaller side- fits a regular dinner plate maximum. Small countertop footprint. Controls take a minute to get used to. Looks GREAT!

It's a beautiful color and goes with everything.It's the first thing all my friends notice when they come over.When I told them where and how much I paid for it, they were going to get themselves a new microwave!!Thank you for such a wonderful product. Hears anything from family meals to warming up a cup of coffee ☕. Great product. Thank you! ❤️🐰. Happy Easter 🐰 to you all

This microwave works very well, and I find it easy to use. And it's very cute and more powerful than most of these retro appliances are (this was replacing a 20+ year-old 700-watt microwave, so admittedly this was a very low bar). Very pleased with it so far, though!

I'm absolutely delighted with my Galanz microwave! It has so much personality.After buying a new microwave that didn't quite fit with my black and white kitchen decor, I was on the hunt for something that would.When I stumbled upon the sleek black and silver Galanz microwave, I knew right away it was the one for me! I quickly handed my new microwave over to a friend and made the switch to Galanz.It arrived at my doorstep in just about 72 hours, and the packaging was excellent. It's user-friendly and heats my meals perfectly.I'm thrilled with my decision!I also adore all the different colors it comes in!Thank you, Amazon!!! ♥️Thank you, Galanz!!!! 🖤

This little red retroesque microwave is perfect for my apartment I don't have too much space in my kitchen and it sits on its own little counter but it fits perfectly. I love the aesthetic and the pull handle door. However, I frequently forget that it locking door. Definitely a user error 😅My only complaint thus far is the frequency in which it will yell at you to remind you it's done. Very minor and insignificant personal peeve. I haven't had any issues cleaning it, and it's more compact size makes it easier to move when I need to clean the counter space.
