NostalgiaRetro Countertop Microwave Oven - Large 800-Watt - 0.9 cu ft - 12 Pre-Programmed Cooking Settings - Digital Clock - Kitchen Appliances - Pink

I love my Nostalgia Retro Microwave! It adds such a fun vintage vibe to my kitchen while still being super functional. The compact size is perfect for my small countertop, and it doesn’t take up much space.Despite its retro look, the microwave heats food quickly and evenly. The controls are simple to use, making it great for anyone who prefers straightforward functionality without a bunch of complicated buttons. The dial and push-button design really complete the nostalgic feel.It’s not the biggest microwave out there, but for reheating leftovers, making popcorn, or warming drinks, it’s perfect. Plus, the build quality feels solid and the bright color options let you match your kitchen decor.If you want a microwave that’s both cute and practical, this is a great choice!

I used the microwave a month to make sure it wouldn't fall apart...based on some of the reviews here, I'm lucky the rotating plate didn't break, the handle didn't fall off, or the oven didn't burn down the kitchen. Instead, it survived, though it's only been a month, so who knows. Bottom line, this microwave is not only the best-looking microwave I've ever had, it's the easiest I've ever used. Hit the big round button and it turns on for one minute, then rotate the button to quickly scale your time up or down. There are a bunch of other features that are also easy to understand for anyone with a fifth grade education, but I've cooked meals and reheated items more than once a day for a month and I'm delighted with the overall performance.Yes, the interior light only comes on when the oven is running, not when you open the door. Are the other reviewers blind or something? That just isn't a big deal. Yes, it beeps three times when the cooking session ends. I don't live in a monastery under a vow of silence, so that's okay. The beeping is no louder than any other microwave I've owned. Yes, the power plug forces the microwave to sit about 2½ inches from the wall (see pics)...and the owners manual recommends it sit 3 inches from the wall for venting purposes. I'm okay with that.None of the hundreds of other reviews showed photos of the black version of the microwave, so I'm showing it in several pictures here. It is a handsome devil, even in black, and it harmonizes beautifully with my granite countertop. The interior is plenty big enough for a standard dinner plate (see pics), and therefore big enough for any frozen dinner.The 800 watts of power is slightly less than my usual 900 or 1,100 watts, but it cooks well and cooks evenly. I just follow the directions on a frozen dinner (which are written for 1,100 watt microwaves), maybe adding 10 or 20 seconds to the timing, and it comes out piping hot. Anyone who says it doesn't heat has a bad microwave and should return the oven within a week of purchasing...not sit around complaining about it.So I love my microwave. If it breaks in six months or six years, I'll just buy another one (hopefully when they are on sale, like I did this time). For intuitive microwavers like myself, it is unbelievably easy to use. And it's the most attractive retro-style microwave on the market, whatever color you choose, and it's really not a very close competition with any other design. I could not be happier.

Oh so cute! In all its pink retro glory our built in microwave went out recently and instead of the whole ordeal to purchase and install a new one right now we were looking for a quick solution this was a great option! It’s a great size it fit right on our counter simple display and easy operating just make sure you press the button before opening it after your item is done cooking if you don’t press the button the door won’t open no biggie at all once you get used to it it is the perfect retro pink and just so cute! Would be great for an apartment or dorm but just as great for your everyday kitchen works well since we’ve had it and it’s now June 2025

In LOVE with this absolutely adorable retro microwave. This thing is perfect. I love the retro look, there's something comforting about it. The color is cute and goes with the overall vibe of our kitchen.It probably weighs about 25 lbs and wasn't difficult to remove from box and put on countertop. It was easy to setup clock and overall easy to use. One thing that took me a minute to understand is that you have to press the "pause/cancel" button before you can open the microwave door when cooking something.For a quick cook, you simply press the knob in and then can turn it to the left or right to decrease or increase cook time. There are also a bunch of preset cook times for things like soup, dinner plate, potatoes, etc. that you can select.The microwave is a fairly normal size but is a little smaller than our last one (which I like). It's easy to clean, the buttons work well and are responsive. The beeping when something is done is a fairly average noise level I'd say, nothing crazy unpleasant, but I always try to avoid that anyway.Overall this is more than a 5/5, it's just the best. I highly recommend to anyone searching for the comfort in that retro vibe who also wants a simple, straightforward and functional microwave for a decent price.
