Review: Gorgeous microwave!!! - This microwave is so beautiful!!! I love the size, color, and simplicity. It takes up minimal space on my countertop & is visually appealing. Highly recommend. Review: Great Microwave with Unparalleled Style - 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. ## Features - 700-WATTS COOKING POWER : At 0.7 cubic foot, this microwave provides the cooking power needed to quickly cook and reheat foods - CONVENIENT COOKING CONTROLS: 12 pre-programmed cooking settings, delay timer and express cooking provide options for the optimal heating of popular foods like popcorn, pizza, potatoes, veggies and more - DIGITAL CLOCK : Easy-to-read LED display lights up the digital clock and highlights each cooking setting - EVEN COOKING : Rotating glass carousel helps cook food evenly - RETRO ACCENTS: A sleek chrome door handle, control panel and accents add fun and flair to this unique retro-styled appliance ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0B8T9H4TG | | Additional Features | Programmable, Timer | | Best Sellers Rank | #814 in Kitchen & Dining ( See Top 100 in Kitchen & Dining ) #8 in Countertop Microwave Ovens | | Brand | Nostalgia | | Brand Name | Nostalgia | | Capacity | 0.7 cubic feet | | Color | Ivory | | Controller Type | Mechanical Knob | | Cooking Program | 12 | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 13,087 Reviews | | Defrost System Type | Defrost | | Energy Consumption | 700 watts | | Frequency | 5 GHz | | Heating Method | microwave radiation | | Human Interface Input | Dial | | Import Designation | Imported | | Included Components | Microwave | | Inner Material | metal | | Installation Type | Countertop | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 12.5"D x 17.5"W x 10"H | | Item Type Name | Microwave Oven | | Manufacturer | Nostalgia Products Group | | Manufacturer Part Number | NRMO7IVY6A | | Material Type | Metal | | Model Name | Retro Compact Countertop | | Model Number | NRMO7IVY6A | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Power Levels | 5 | | Number of Programs | 12 | | Power Consumption | 700 watts | | Product Dimensions | 12.5"D x 17.5"W x 10"H | | Recommended Uses For Product | Residential | | Special Feature | Programmable, Timer | | Timer Function | Timer Function Available | | UPC | 810061705048 | | Voltage | 120 volts | | Warranty Description | 1-Year Limited | | Wattage | 700 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Nostalgia - **Capacity:** 0.7 cubic feet - **Color:** Ivory - **Included Components:** Microwave - **Installation Type:** Countertop - **Material:** Metal - **Product Dimensions:** 12.5"D x 17.5"W x 10"H - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Residential - **Special Feature:** Programmable, Timer - **Wattage:** 700 watts ## Images ![Nostalgia NRMO7IVY6A Retro Compact Countertop Microwave Oven, 0.7 Cu.

This microwave although cute in appearance was not practical. The directions to use are confusing the whole set up is confusing and I never understood it. Not to mention after 2 years is use it broke. Power went out on it totally useless. Also the light does not come on when you initially open it like other microwaves. The light only comes on after you set it to start. That in itself was very annoying. So in retrospect I would not have bought this microwave at all. I replaced it with a RCA microwave that has a digital flat screen buttons. Believe me very easily to maneuver that this microwave know thingy. **Q: What are the outside dimensions? Is it really 17 1/2 deep?** A: I'm going to need confirmation of the depth from the seller before I buy it. 17+ seems wrong. The answers here aren't super clear. thanks **Q: when this is given as the dimensions, 13.5 x 17.5 x 10.25 in, which one is width, height & depth?** A: height is the 10.25 width is 17.5 and depth is 13.5 **Q: Inside dimensions?** A: It’s small....12”wide, 10”deep and 7” tall. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gorgeous microwave!!! *by M***. on August 16, 2026* This microwave is so beautiful!!!

This one has been perfect so far! I've had it for...about a month, now. No issues! It's not very noisy, it fits perfectly on the corner of our kitchen counter (which is quite limited on space to begin with), and the child lock is quite a helpful tool for any kids who might try some funny business. I adore the retro look on it; it and it heats everything up just right, plus I haven't had any food explode in it. I hope it stays that way! ## Frequently Bought Together - Nostalgia 0.7 Cu. Ft.
