5.0 out of 5 stars My Retro RED Microwave Oven works and is a hoot to use..!
(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } Several people wrote reviews after this product arrived damaged or after this product failed. I ordered it anyway because the price was reasonable, because some of the other reviews were favorable, and because I have grown tired of ugly appliances that are difficult to use [often requiring consultation of the lengthy manual to carry out the simplest task].The Nostalgia Electrics bright red Microwave Oven arrived safely in what appears to me to be a very sturdy box with an overdose of protective molded foam. Maybe they improved the packing; maybe the folks who got damaged microwaves just got dinged with unusually rough shipping ordered up by the "shipping fairy".I installed this microwave oven on the second shelf of my "coffee stand" kitchen cabinet [a narrow stand alone cabinet that contains my bright yellow FRANCIS FRANCIS! 25-year old Espresso machine on the top shelf]. The bright red of the microwave goes stunningly with the bright yellow of the Espresso machine. Both also have shiny, retro operating knobs and buttons instead of indented in the plastic "soft buttons" to press.Among other uses, I heat milk in the microwave for single cups of Latte. Flip on the Espresso; put half-and-half in a cup, put the cup in the "RetroWave", and turn the knob until 40-sec shows... Press the knob. While the milk is heating and the espresso machine is coming up to 90-degC, load espresso-grind Tanzanian Peaberry in the espresso holder. The warm milk is ready just about the same time as the loaded espresso machine reaches temperature. Foam the warm half-and-half with a bright red Capital battery-powered foamer; pop the cup under the espresso machine... Presto: Latte in a total of less than 2-minutes.So far, I've baked potatoes in the RetroWave... Turn the knob to show 8-minutes, put the potato in a glass dish with cover, press the big shiny knob. I have prepared bacon in the RetroWave... About 4-min for six thick-sliced pieces of bacon. I have cooked fresh-caught Salmon in the microwave and fresh tuna. I have prepared carrots in butter; root veggies in wine sauce; wilted baby spinach in butter and orange sauce; I have even, I shudder to admit, heated frozen dinners in the RetroWave.On most microwaves, setting the time of day is a complicated matter of repeatedly pressing "soft buttons" for AM/PM, then hours, then minutes, etc. With RetroWave, you just press the small shiny ordinary button marked "Clock", then just turn the big shiny knob until - just like turning a clock - you reach the time you want. Then you press the big shiny knob and you are done. Equally easily, you can set the Power of the RetroWave by pressing the small shiny ordinary button marked "Power", then turn the big shiny knob to the power you want, and press.The directions for using this RetroWave are very, very brief. They were intuitive and simple and I must have thrown them away after reading through them. Like all well-designed equipment, figuring out how to do things is easy.I do not, of course, have more than about 1-month of use of my RetroWave. It has exhibited no flaws or problems so far. It is sturdy. It is no more noisy than my old microwave. I do, actually, cook real dishes with a microwave. The controls have been up to such cooking, including brief cooking on high, then using on low power for more prolonged cooking. This includes meatloaf, stuffed peppers, Greek lamb with feta, and Kielbasa with red cabbage. I have not baked with this microwave. Yet.If it unexpectedly fails over within the two years of the Warranty I applied for, I will report that fact on this web site. Until such event, I am please and I highly rate the RetroWave.
5.0 out of 5 stars Perhaps I got lucky with my model....
Bought ours back in August, and it's performed like a champ. But to give you, dear reader, a better idea of the paces my boyfriend and I have put this microwave through, here's what we use it for in our household:* Reheating leftovers, which is honestly the primary reason we even want to have a microwave* Accidentally melt butter when all we meant to do was soften it, because we forgot to leave the butter out a few hours before a baking project* Intentionally melt butter* Defrosting meat (rarely, because "Wow that microwave did a stellar job of defrosting meat evenly without leaving rubbery, overcooked spots alternating with still-frozen areas" said nobody ever--it's in the nature of how microwaves work)* Making mug brownies (also rarely, must make note to increase frequency because MUG BROWNIES)So it's not like the microwave sees rigorous use. We use it two to three times a day, tops.Things we love about it:* Ease of use. The knob system in particular is genius. If we want to heat something up for ten seconds, we move the dial one click and press. Normal microwaves, you have to push three buttons. It sounds silly, but it makes a difference. If we want to heat something for more than a minute, we just hit the knob (which starts off at 1 minute), and then spin the dial till we get the time we want. A full spin adds 1.5 minutes. Whoops, overspun it? No big deal: just turn the knob counter-clockwise, and the time will decrease in 10-second intervals. It's honestly the ability to decrease the time that's so pleasing: most microwaves, you have to cancel and start it over, or keep a sharp eye and hit the Stop/Cancel button when you need to.* Appearance. It looks super-stylish.Downsides:* Tiny bit of rattling as a consequence of the turntable not rotating very smoothly--but this is a problem with cheap microwaves in general; every microwave I've ever encountered rattles an equivalent amount.Have never tried any of the special modes, have very little interest in doing so. And I recognize that we haven't hit that magical one-year mark yet, and no problems have surfaced. If it ends up biting the dust, I'll update the review.If you're looking for a cute microwave for light duty use, this microwave is a pretty dang sweet value for its money.
5.0 out of 5 stars LOVE LOVE LOVE this microwave!
Took a chance (because of mixed reviews) on this because I just redid my kitchen in a vintage/retro theme with red accents so I knew I had to have this microwave. Have really put it through the "paces" in the few days we've had it and have had none of the issued others have mentioned. I thawed chicken (16+ minutes) and it was perfect -- in fact thawed much more evenly than my old microwave! It is NOT hard to figure out how to use (I didn't even look at the manual) but if you DO read the manual -- it's very clear how the buttons work. There IS a light inside but it only lights up when you are actually USING the microwave which is perfectly fine -- why do I need to have a light when I'm just putting something IN the microwave?? We've done the usual heating of beverages; boiling water; cooking vegetables and heating a dinner plate with no problems at all. It is a lower wattage so it will just take getting used to having to set it a bit longer than I was used to (i.e. 2 min instead of 1.5 for a cup of water to heat -- no big deal there either!). The size is perfect for the two of us but I could still easily see using this if there were five of us in the house as in days gone by. It is SO SO pretty and already, anyone who sees it squeals (okay, just the ladies squeal) about how crazy cute it is. The finish is a beautiful, high gloss, pearlized red like a fancy car paint job. I DID go ahead and purchase the three year warranty (it's only 8.99) so I figured if we DID get a lemon, we'd be covered so if you are still in doubt, just buy the warranty.
Five Stars

Love it!!!
Retro appliances
We bought the microwave, toaster, and kettle. Love them all, well worth the money! ! They all work great and look even better!
Great retro look
The interior light doesn't come on until the microwave is running, would be more convenient if it also came on when the door is opened.
love the colour
works great
Really Nice Looking Microwave
Its exactly what I was looking for. A little lighter weight wise than I had thought but it's fine for what I intend to use it for.
