Question: I understand the time/power knob can be used to set smaller times than 1 minute. Does it go up in 5 second increments? Is it pretty easy to set?
Document: So far pretty satisfied except for some flaws in manual as far as explaining some functions...ie..does one have to choose power option 10, or does it automatically start at option ten, whereas u don't have to set it all the time...also, setting minutes, seems to go only in 5 minute increments..10,15,20,25...no inbetween..12,13 16..
I just use the basic timing knob to set the time for heating. i sometimes use the "quick minute" timer which is just a preset to one minute and goes up one minute increments up to 10 minutes. The microwave DOES have a light that comes on when opened. The light also comes on while it is in operation. This oven is very quiet and extremely light! Was surprised how light (weight-wise) it was in comparison to the microwaves of old. This is easy to use, easy to clean, easy to set up, and... it's just awesome!
The second unit was packaged better (more paper) but was essentially packed the same way, there was nothing protecting the top of the turntable. Still, it was fine when I got it out of the unit.Definitely read the manual first, the knob takes some getting used to. It decides whether you can set time or weight for various functions and it's not always intuitive as to which one it is setting. Also, for several functions you have to press the function a specified number of times -- too much to memorize (e.g.
I bought this microwave to use at work. It's small enough to fit the tight space between the top of the fridge and the cabinet. Its a remarkably quiet microwave and its more powerful than the old 600 watt cheapo unit it replaced. The turn knob takes a little bit to get use to and you can't do 5 second increments but those are minor complaints. The stainless steel version does show finger prints if you don't like that kind of thing. I'll keep this review update to it's durability as we go on.
I found that it really does heat more evenly, and really does heat almost as fast as a higher watt unit. Popcorn takes almost exactly the same amount of time as my old microwave, and defrosting something large only takes 1-2 minutes more. The best feature is cooking and defrosting are much more even. I no longer have cooked areas on my defrosted meat.The button functions are pretty basic. They seem to be similar to other microwaves but I mostly just use the power and the cooking times. The interior and the exterior are easy to keep clean and there is an interior light.I've been pleasantly surprised at how well this microwave performs.
I purchased this microwave a month ago when my ancient one finally gave out. True, it's only the second microwave I've ever owned, and true, I've never been one to use a microwave when a stove or oven will do, but nonetheless, I do find reason to use it fairly often---a few times a day---and so far, so good.It looks good. It has enough power to bake a sweet potato in 5 minutes or warm a bowl of stew in 1-2 minutes.
I've been using this microwave for a few months now and I'm quite happy with it. Some things that I used to heat up for a minute now only need half the time or less. A little weird to use a knob (prior was punching in numbers) but pretty happy with this purchase.
Works for me. I haven't found myself using the &#34;power inverter&#34; technology as much as I thought. The time selector is a knob, which was weird at first but functions pretty well. After 3 minutes or so it goes up by intervals rather than every second.
I've been using this microwave for about a year now, it works great. Mostly we use it to quickly warm up frozen vegetables and the like, the &#34;quick minute&#34; feature is great for this, and its easy to set the power level. It seems to defrost frozen food faster and more evenly than any other microwave I've ever used.
needed something to fit in a small space above my fridge in a small kitchen, but almost every microwave that fit the dimensions was only 600 or 700 watts. This one fits perfectly but is much more powerful, and heats things quickly. I was worried about the knob dial but it really is not inconvenient at all - it's designed quite smartly and the time increments seem to increase the higher you go, so it gets to whatever time you need with just a few quick turns. There is a low buzz fan after use, as some others have commented, but I don't find it particularly loud or bothersome.
Answer: The dial is extremely easy to use.It counts from 1 to 10 seconds in 1 second intervalsIt counts from 10 seconds to 1 minute in 5 second intervalsIt counts from 1 minute to 30 minutes in 10 second intervalsThe weight side of the dieal is for cooking by weight or to set the defroster.  The turbo defroster works very well.  No cooked outside frozen center.  It is defrosted evenly and perfectly.For a small size model you will be surprised by how effective the power is.  When we bought this for a very small kitchen I told myself it was a make=do until we get a larger place and get a "real microwave." I'm singing a new tune now.  It's not sparkly or flashy looking but it functions with the big boys.  Hard to beat for the price.
