FMO13AHTBKE

It heats food evenly, operates simply, and has enough power to handle common tasks like reheating leftovers, making popcorn, or warming frozen meals. The controls are straightforward and easy to understand, which is a big plus if you do not want to deal with anything overly complicated. The design is clean and modern, and the overall unit feels like a good value for the price. For anyone looking for a dependable microwave that covers the basics well, this one is a worthwhile purchase.

My 33 year old Sharp Carousel II Microwave oven died.... A LOUD transformer buzzing indicated a blown High Voltage Diode.... (MOST COMMON FAILURE).... I could have repaired, BUT, after 33 years, I deserved a NEW Microwave Oven.... I found this 1.2 CU, FT / 1000 Watt Microwave Oven listed for $97.99 and bought it.... It runs **VERY** quietly.... Beeps five times when cooking stops.... You CAN easily, permanently, disable the "Child Lock".... The INSIDE measurements are: WIDTH = 13 INCHES.... DEPTH = 13.5 INCHES.... HEIGHT - FROM TOP OF GLASS PLATE = 8 INCHES.... WATTAGE DRAW = 1659 WATTS.... AMPERAGE DRAW = 15.63 AMPS.... GLASS PLATE DIAMETER = 12-3/8 INCHES.... "SPIN RATE" ~ 6 SECONDS PER REVOLUTION.... This oven is NOT an "Inverter" type.... "Power Levels", 1 - 10 is a percentage designation, (x10), of "Klystron ON TIME", I.E. a "5" Power Level, (50%), for 1 minute cook time = the Klystron is "ON/HEATING" for 30 seconds, OFF for 30 seconds.... The saying- "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure", is/has never been more true in preventing spatter with ANY microwave cooking by COVERING YOUR FOOD.... PERIOD.... EVEN MY COFFEE.... I have no need of and do not use the fancy "Auto Cooking" features.... For the money, it is a GREAT Microwave Oven.... I'm Happy.... Done....

Works great but it is bigger than I expected and takes up a lot of counter space.

This is a nice microwave, looks good on the counter. Does have an interior light so you can view what is cooking. Is fairly quiet, once in a while it seems to get loud. Has multiple presets. Does have a door lock, which IMO is very annoying. Haven't looked in the manual yet to see if it can be turned off. Seems to cook well. I use my microwave and slow cooker a lot, so depend on them. So far, so good with this microwave.

Had for almost a week. Very nice and the power of 900 Watts is perfect. Heat up leftovers and it’s better than my old microwave that was 1000 watts. The red is a candy apple color and very please so far

We love our microwave works great.

So far so good I bought this month ago. Only thing I don’t like about it. It makes noise when you close the door

EDIT 12/25/2024: Rating reduced from 5 stars to 1. It would be zero if I could. The unit arrived in a day and there was zero damage to the box. The unit also had no visible damage to the cabinet or the power cord. But it was electrically dead right out of the box. I read the manual and followed the instructions which were few and simple. The display would not light up. The control panel was completely unresponsive. I plugged it into several outlets proven to be working with other appliances. Nothing. It's just dead. Back it goes. Already processed the return. It's disappointing. I'd expect at least minimal quality control like plugging the units in to see if they'll at least power up and the lights come on before they're shipped out to retailers. Apparently that didn't happen. ORIGINAL REVIEW: Just for clarity since their are multiple versions in this product listing, I bought the 1.3 cu ft, 1000W version with the stainless steel finish and the curved door handle. A microwave is pretty much like a coffee pot or a toaster oven to me. We use it 99% of the time to..... 1.) Heat up coffee or tea. 2.) Defrost frozen stuff. 3.) Reheat leftovers. 4.) Make popcorn. So the question becomes can it do the basics with an easy to use control interface and is it durable / reliable. The answer in this case is yes. This is a direct replacement for the exact same Farberware branded microwave I bought 7 years ago for the exact same price. The only difference is that the original one was black and this one has a stainless steel finish. The styling and control interface is identical except for a couple of feature additions in the new one. But as an offset, the old one had an output of 1100W and this one is rated at 1000W. No big deal. The physical size both inside and outside are identical. That's critical for me as this thing has to fit in a built in cubby / garage over the counter. And this is the largest unit that will fit I've ever found. As for the inside, it will fit a large dinner plate. Good enough. As for the control interface, there is a zero learning curve as it's almost identical to the one it's replacing. It has the basics covered..... 1.) Time cook. 2.) Time defrost. 3.) Weight defrost. 4.) Power level adjustment 5.) 5 presets for popcorn, pizza, dinner plate, potato, frozen veggies, and beverages. 6.) One touch cook time from 1-6 min. The old one was 1-3 min. 7.) 30 second one touch add by pressing the start button again. It's obvious that they put some thought into the interface to make it really easy to do what microwaves are used for 99% of the time. If you need to read the manual to use this, well... you need help. LOL, it's that easy. As for value, the original black one cost me the exact same $135 in March 2018. It's not dead. It still heats fine. But the timer / clock display flips out intermittently then comes back to life randomly before failing again. Just annoying. And the inside has seen enough wear that its not possible to get it really clean looking any longer. But hey, this thing gets used probably 10 times daily by 4 people on average. And at $135 the original lasted 7 years. That's about $19/year or $1.60/month. I'm OK with replacing it with a newer version at this point. I got good value out of it. Hopes this helps anyone trying to make a decision.

El color era que buscaba y su funcionamiento

I am extremely disappointed in this Microwave. I live in Sydney Australia and I purchased this item from Amazon AU. Therefore I expected it to be Aussie Compliant. But it has a foreign electrical plug and every time I press the START button it trips my circuit breaker and switches off. It is un-usable. Obviously I will need to return it and that entails a whole other world of hassle and annoyance. What a joke. Time wasted and expense not to mention the endless reading you need to do and follow to get a simple refund. Not happy at all!!!

This electrical appliance is sold on Amazon UK. They do the deliveries in the UK for free or for a fee. It makes sense that appliances sold on the UK site and delivered to UK can be used in the UK. I bought it as a gift for a friend. However, it turned out that it is an item that could be used only in US since it is produced for 120 V voltage and has an US plug. When I went back to the product info it says only in the small print (in the specifications) that the voltage is 120V. Many people will not be even familiar what that means. This is really unserious and I am also not sure if it is legal to sell in the uk appliances that cannot be used in the UK or in the rest of Europe.

It was delivered broken. Opened it up and there were shards of glass everywhere.

No lo pude usar y lo tuve que cambiar porque hacía mucho ruido
