Super cute microwave that just fit inside the space that we need. Our shelf is 12.5" deep, and this is 12.7" deep so it sticks out just a tad, but that's ok. It seems to heat things really well (faster than the bigger microwave that we used to have) and the defrost function really seems to defrost quickly, evenly, and without pre-cooking the food. I really like the knob that you spin to set the time (so cute!), and the 30 second push button is perfect for quickly adding time. I thought we might feel annoyed about having to turn the microwave ON each time we used it, but it's really not an issue. You do have to remember to clear any remaining time, however, if you want it to power off automatically.
We've gotten tons of compliments on the look of this microwave. I wouldn't call it "mint green" however. It's definitely turquoise.
First off this microwave us adorable. I bought this microwave to replace my very large microwave. It saves so much space. I do not have much counter space and I have many kitchen devices so the size of this microwave was just right for my needs.
I've now owned this microwave for around a month and a half. I needed a small, lower-power, microwave to fit in a tight space, and this gets model gets that right while looking great. Food gets cooked evenly and throughly, and I'm extremely happy with it.
There are a few quirks with this microwave, so here's a heads up:
1. This microwave is 700W; most packaging has instructions for 1200W microwaves. I find that doubling the prescribed cooking time is typically perfect, but your millage may vary. In the instructions, there are exact recommendations for foods that aren't pre-packaged.
2. Input power to this microwave is 1100W. The provided cord is fairly short (maybe four feet or so), so make sure you get an appropriate high-wattage extension cable if you need one.
3. This microwave doesn't display the time while in standby, like most microwaves. Instead, after not being used for a little while this microwave goes into no-draw power saving mode, and you must press the "Power On" button before using it.
Confession: I had a perfectly functioning, somewhat expensive microwave when I bought this little Daewoo. But it was reallllly big and I got tired of it taking up so much room and being this hulking black box in the kitchen.
Why, hello there, you cute little Daewoo you! So they got me with the red and the design and then all the reviews I read were in praise. It’s as “squeeee” cute in person as you think it is. The controls are so simple that they take a bit to adjust to — but what’s offered is really all you need. Unless... you’re not going to be able to COOK with this little thing. It’s not a hamster on a wheel — more like a guinea pig. Your tea and coffee will be fine. Your ramen will take 2 minutes longer. And per the “giant potato test” I ran tonight, it takes two of the auto cook cycles to get somewhere close to done, and I’m someone who likes to get my potatoes started cooking in the microwave and finish them in the oven because I am impatient. (I also like my potatoes not to fight back at all so their insides are almost rough mashed consistency.)
If you were going to equip a small AirBNB or other rental with a microwave, you’d do quite well with this one. If you’ve got a family and make lots of big frozen dinner things and the kids are always slamming the microwave door, you’ll need to step up your microwave game.
I did a boo boo and wrote a bad review about this microwave the 2nd day I had it...Bad idea! After thoroughly reading the instruction booklet I now understand exactly how it works.....And I must say, it works perfect! It's so easy to use and get the exact right temp for reheating or steaming. I love it and recommend it highly!! So glad I got it and what a fantastic price! It is just perfect for my needs!

Just got my microwave and it’s just as pictured. One thing that I didn’t realize before buying it is that it doesn’t display the time. As in it doesn’t have a clock. But that doesn’t bother me enough to knock off a star. If it goes to hell, I will update my review, but my initial review is to give it 5 stars.
UPDATE: Its been 2 years and the microwaves going strong. I’ve had no problems whatsoever. Glad I purchased it.
Love it!! Small enough to not overpower your counter top, beautiful aesthetically... I can fit my larger 12 inch plates (which I wasnt even anticipating due to the size anyway) in although they are too big to turn while heating, but 10 inch plates turn no problem. I love also that it powers off to save energy between uses. If you MUST have a clock on your microwave then that is a negative, but I already have a clock on my stove so no biggie for my life. Has cooked very well too. Highly recommend!
Adorable retro microwave. I have a red retro fridge and wanted a microwave to match. This does the job affordably. I like that it doesn't have a clock and turns off when not in use. The only thing I don't like is that it's kind of low power. I have to do math to adjust cooking times. :) But I can live with that; I don't use it a lot anyway.
I ordered the red one, but received the white one. But decided to keep it because it looks really good. Nice clean design, works well. It's weaker than my last microwave, so I have to cook foods for longer, but that's okay. I love the minimalist controls.
This microwave is amazing! Very powerful. It is small so you cannot make full sized bags of popcorn.
