Farberware Countertop Microwave 1000 Watts, 1.1 cu ft - Microwave Oven With LED Lighting and Child Lock - Perfect for Apartments and Dorms - Easy Clean Metallic Red

This microwave gives me excellent results that my larger one over the range and has all of the features. I'm disabled and now needed to go to a countertop model. It's quiet and really attractive on my counter.

I love this thing, Air fry, microwave and bake in one appliance, genius!

My old microwave finally gave up the ghost after around 13-14 years of pretty decent service. I mostly warm up meals and made-for-microwave entrees, and of course the obligatory batch of popcorn from time to time. Saw this pop up and it had pretty good reviews. Plus, I've owned Farberware products going back decades. I still have a Farberware Percolator coffee-maker that's probably pushing 40 now, and a small countertop convection oven that I've been using almost daily for 16+ years. So I'm pretty cool with the brand.It has a much smaller footprint than the old microwave, but curiously has pretty close to the same sized heating chamber for capacity. This is rated for 1000w, and it definitely warms/cooks things much faster than the old unit. I can cook a full bowl of popcorn in 3 minutes in this one, whereas it took 4:30 in the former microwave. The front panel is sleek and simple, and for most things it'll do just fine. If you want to warm something for 5 minutes, you just push the 5 button on the pad and walk away. It takes care of the rest. However, I think it's unusually fiddly when you want to input a very specific cook time, like 3m20s. Yes, you can do it. But you have to go through this whole process of setting the power level first, then inputting the total cook time. It's just a bit of extra keypresses when you need a very particular cook duration.It also seems a bit noisier to my ears than the old unit. Not necessarily standing under a jet engine noisy, but it's definitely noticeable. I got used to it within the first few days, and it's not that big a deal since I live alone, but if you're given to late night kitchen raids and want to avoid waking the wife and kids, this one is going to thump and hum a bit.For under $100, I have no complaints. If it holds up as long as my other Farberware items, I should be set for the rest of my days. And if not, this didn't break the bank, so it's all good. For the cost and the efficiency I gave it 5 stars, with the caveats about the time input and noise. If you can put up with those, it's a great value.

I’ve been using the Farberware Countertop Microwave for a couple of months now, and it’s a fantastic little appliance, especially for smaller spaces like apartments and dorms. Here’s a quick breakdown of my experience:Pros:Compact Size: The small footprint is perfect for tight kitchens or limited counter space. It fits comfortably in my tiny apartment without looking bulky.Sleek Design: The stainless steel finish gives it a modern look, and the LED lighting adds a nice touch. It doesn’t feel cheap at all.Functionality: For 700 watts, it heats food surprisingly well. It’s ideal for reheating leftovers, making popcorn, and even defrosting.Child Lock: As someone with young nieces and nephews visiting often, the child lock is a reassuring feature.Easy to Clean: The interior and exterior wipe down easily, which is a lifesaver for quick cleanups.Cons:Limited Power: While 700 watts is sufficient for basic tasks, it does take a little longer to cook or reheat compared to more powerful models. For larger meals or bulk cooking, it might not be the best option.Small Capacity: At 0.7 cubic feet, it’s great for one or two people but too small for larger dishes or family-sized portions.Noisy Beeping: The end-of-cycle beep is quite loud and can’t be adjusted, which might annoy some users.Bottom Line:If you’re looking for a compact, affordable microwave for everyday use, this Farberware model is an excellent choice. It’s reliable, easy to clean, and blends well with modern kitchens. Just keep in mind the size and wattage limitations.Would I recommend it? Absolutely—for anyone in need of a simple, efficient microwave for small spaces.

The color is why I bought this, I admit. But also gside that, its a great oven. Its very quiet-i wonder if its on sometimes. Its 1000 watts which is perfect. Its easy to use if you e ever used a microwave. Which makes me so der why s9meone doesn't design the keypads better? The layout for one but the ability to differentiate buttons better. I never use “potato” “pizza” and all those settings. But theyre on top, for example.Lots of roomindidecand a nice bright light versus a dim one that does nothing. Theyre put there. Its easy to clean, too.One thing that drives me crazy is the loud “ker-chunk” when the doors closed. That could be improved in 2025.Overall though it’s a great value and oven. And great color.Edit: it’s now may 9, 2025. The clock no longer keeps remotely accurate time. It goes way off in a matter of minutes. It makes me wonder if the cooking timer is accurate now.

AWESOME !!!! Love it !!! Looks beautiful and is very well made too !!!

This replaces a 20 year old microwave. After several days, this works just as well if not better. Initially it was a little louder. But after several meals it's actually quieter. Operation is very easy, TouchPad is easy to use and see.The only thing that I found is that my previous unit returned to me front in 30 seconds intervals. It was slower turning. This one does not return to the front after 30 seconds or in minute increments. Not a big thing, but it makes me reach around hot dishes and cups to remove food and drinks. I rate it 4 out of 5 stars because of that. Otherwise it is excellent.I hope it lasts another 20 years.
