A microwave, straight-up!
What a nice little machine! No frills, no fuss. Timers are clear (minutes only, not seconds), has a nice little bell ping when it's done, which is nicer than a digital beep to me. Nice size doesn't hog the counter. Dinner plate fits, as well as my heat wrap which is rather large (for the shoulders). A few little details for you: --The interior light works only when the microwave is running. It does not stay lit when you open the door, even if there is time left on the timer. --If you take your food out while there is time left on the timer, when you shut the door it will resume running. (I would have to press 'start' again on my other microwave to resume if I opened the door while cooking). So if you're done cooking before the timer runs out, you just turn the dial back til you hear the bell ping which turns it off. OR, alternately I suppose you could leave the door ajar. The timer won't run when the door is open. --It does slide on the counter unless you open it carefully; however, this is easily remedied by putting anti-skid material underneath the 4 feet of the microwave (i used 4 little pieces of the anti-skid rubber material you put under throw rugs). Now I can open it as I normally would any heavy object and it will not shift. --There is no clock on it, no digital face, so there is no 'nightlight' glow from it. --The manual says if you want to set the timer for anything less than 2 minutes, you need to turn the dial beyond 2 minutes and then back to where you want it. I did not find this necessary. I set it on 1 minute and it ran for 1 minute (or so - hard to be exact on the dial). A very straightforward design, which is exactly what I was looking for. It's great!! (Note: I bought mine from Amazon seller HPP Enterprises)
