Nostalgia NMCMO9FTBK6A Microwave Oven, 0.9 Cu. Ft, Black

Obsessed with this microwave, after reading the reviews on the more vintage style ones and seeing they were mixed I decided to go with the most modern one as that had the more positive reviews and I love this microwave it still gives me the retro vibe so I’m not missing out on the original allure to this brand. you do have to press stop to open when you start a cook but that’s whatever. I’ve already used the omelet maker to cook eggs so I loveeee the add ons. The photo is also showing a large paper plate so you can easily heat up a whole plate of food in this thing. 10/10

I've only used it once so far (White rice, 90sec.)... Besides that, I'll use it for melting butter for lobster tails, but I don't know what else. I love cooking, but I don't have the appetite I used to so I eat once a day or eat half a meal a day. But a person still needs a good microwave, and this one is good looking and seems to be of good quality, it IS... You can tell. The big old microwave behind it is going to a new home, freeing up that space for food prep, yay! I'm glad I chose this microwave... Good price, too, with 24% off, it was only $89.99... But, with my Amazon Prime Chase Visa card rewards, it was "free" to me! Still, with a list price of $117.99, it seems like a steal for such a good microwave. I needed for it to be smaller, which it is... At first glance of the carousel plate, I could tell it was smaller (perfect). It fits well, size-wise, and appearance-wise.

I love this for how it looks but as far functionality, it's not as strong as my old microwave so have to heat things longer.I don't like how once your food is done you can't just open the door you have to press a button to "unlock" it every time. I also don't like having to twist a dial to set the time I prefer being able to press numbers to put in the time I want. I kept it because it's cool looking but if those things were changed it would be amazing.

I bought one of these microwaves in approximately 2011 to replace a really huge one I'd bought way back when microwaves were just getting popular around 1985. The big one worked great but I just had to replace it with something more compact when I moved to a house with a smaller kitchen, so I bought this one in 2011. It gave me perfect service till my century-old house in Detroit finally needed major electrical work. Something went wrong--a power surge or something--and it was fatal to the microwave, so after the electricians charged me an arm and a leg for new electrical service--new wiring and grounding, etc. I had to replace the microwave because of the damage it suffered because of low voltage (or something like that.)Fortunately I found the exact same model at Amazon, and here it is in my kitchen looking new--just as good and even better, since it's brand new. I consider the old (2011) one to have given me enough service (about 14 years of reliable daily use) for it to be retired and replaced with a new copy of the same model.The feature I like best about it is the "express" key. You put your food into it, close the door, and you already know how long you want it to run and the power level. To reheat a cup of tepid coffee, it's a minute on high. So you push the "express key" twice and the "power" key once and voila. If the coffee cup is only lukewarm and not cold, you push "express key" just once and the power key once and voila. You get used to that and you do it without thinking, and your kitchen experience is quick and automatic.If I'm thawing a container of my good chili mac (chili with cooked pasta added) I know exactly how long I want to zap it and at what heat level. Three taps on the "power" key, twist the timer knob to about six minutes and voila. Hot chili mac for lunch.This is an example of how important a "new" appliance becomes when its usefulness is realized. What would we do without internet? Personally I couldn't live without it. Of course the refrigerator, introduced around 1920, became "a kitchen essential" immediately--"spoiled food" became nothing but an ugly, dangerous memory. Other appliances that soon followed and became instant essentials--the electric toasterr, and then the electric mixer, the electric coffee maker, and then the electric frying pan in the 1950s--one of my favorites.And finally the microwave. And this Nostalgia Electric model is dynamite! It's a cool-looking "retro-style" addition to the kitchen counter--compact enough not to take up too much space--and does perfect work for me every day just as the first one did for 14 years.So do I like this microwave? Uh...yeah, I guess I do.

Excellent little lavender microwave! I bought this to match my kitchen things and to replace my 30 year old microwave which was rusting under the rotating plate.It's a bit hard to figure out all the different controls and presets, and apparently you can program it, but I haven't tried to figure any of that out yet. Mostly what we put in it we just push the default knob and it starts for 1 minute, and when it gets to X amount of seconds, we pull out whatever we were heating up. Cheesy nachos take 25 - 30 seconds. Nothing we've made has taken over 3 minutes to make, so it's pretty easy to push the button and turn the knob to the time you need. I don't think I've seen in the manual, or have figured out how to just use it as a kitchen timer yet, which I thought was a major oversight on the maker's part, but I have a phone with a timer too, so it's not a dealbreaker.I love the retro look, and the compact size. I would have preferred a slightly larger model, but didn't realize how small it would be until we got it. It still works great, looks cute as heck, and takes less time to cook/heat things with half the power my old model had! Awesome, right?I give it 5 stars for cuteness and features I haven't figured out yet. 5 stars for noise level - it's very quiet! 5 stars for efficiency!I have to give it 4 stars because of the learning curve. I mean it has pictures of things on the screen for presets, and there are things I wouldn't even think to put in a microwave on it! Maybe its more multifunctional than I knew I nuker could be? And lastly, 4 stars for size.If you've always dreamed of a pastel lavender kitchen, get this microwave! It matches my Beautiful lavender appliances perfectly, too! :)

Microwave works great. Has a child safety lock, but if you READ THE DIRECTIONS, it tells you how to disable it. It's a great microwave and we love the retro look.
