INTERIOR CUPBOARD SIZED MICROWAVE OVEN
This fulfilled our need for a microwave oven that fit inside a cabinet. We remodeled our kitchen and wanted the microwave off the counter. Our cabinet is 13.5 inches deep. Most appliances we looked at were either too large for the space or grossly lacked features. This is a nice combination of size and features. We mostly use a microwave oven for defrosting, reheating, and melting butter. Our former oven was 1100 watts compared to this 700 watts. So, it is slower than our former oven. It does accomodate a10.5 inch dinner plate, large coffee mugs, and an 8 cup / 2 quart Pyrex batter bowl.
Pros:
Small footprint
Nice array of features
Attractive exterior
Pre-programs for popcorn, potatoes, and beverages
Large interior (adequate for a round 2 quart casserole dish)
Cons:
Moderate power level
Limited interior space (no big turkeys)
Less accurate automatic defrosting than our full size 1100 watt Panasonic microwave
Conclusion: This is a nice product satisfying our requirement for a small footprint without compromising too much in features.
