Galanz GLCMKZ07BER07 Retro Countertop Microwave Oven with Auto Cook & Reheat, Defrost, Quick Start Functions, Easy Clean with Glass Turntable, Pull Handle.7 cu ft, Blue

While the expensive stainless steel, convection oven, and overhead stove vent, microwave, lost its microwave function everything else works. That likely means the Magnetron has failed. It could mean the diode has failed too, but either case has too much labor involved to repair. I looked at having a new one installed, but those big box stores that do it require a specific vent size and refuse to do any modifications, so you can be left with a mess dealing with contractors. The good news is except for the microwaves themselves every other function works. I can even use the convection oven feature if needed. Still, I need the convenience of a microwave.Thinking about it a bit I remembered I have a large countertop oven on my prep table. This particular model fits perfectly on top. I bought a heat-resistant mat to prevent slippage of the microwave feet and installed it out of the box in five minutes. While much smaller and less powerful than my old unit, this fits most of the things I use a microwave for. Heating water, melting butter, small frozen dinners, reheating pizza and sandwiches, it does them all fine. The price of this was fantastic as it cost roughly one tenth of the cost of my old unit, and less than the trip charge a local repair facility would charge me to evaluate a repair estimate.I like the retro look and the simple controls although there is a bit of a learning curve. My old unit had mostly intuitive buttons, so selecting power levels and presets was easy. I never bothered with the manual on my old unit, but I've had to access this one a few times for the special timed cook, reheat, defrost and other settings. It's not overly complex, but you do need some information. I laminated a card with the basic settings I'll use and attached it with a magnet to my fridge. That should help. despite less power most things I've used it with cook nearly as fast and as complete as the old unit. Recommended.

I am in love with my red retro microwave. It does its job well. Easy to use. Not complicated. Spacious enough to heat everything. The best thing its appearance and functionality. Not noisy and easy to clean

This microwave oven is easy to use for quick heat ups. You can push one button to get 30 seconds of cooking/heating time. If you want more time, push that one button repeatedly. I haven't done any fancy cooking with this oven, but it works for what I use it for.The design is attractive...kind of retro.

The retro fridge looks great in our kitchen. The microwave is powerful, we haven't had any issues. The stop/cancel function and lock/unlock are something to get used to. I didn't like the feature at first but now it doesn't bother me. The only issue is the time disappears and just blinks. It does not consistently stay on. I have to do more research to see if that can be fixed. Otherwise it does its job!

A great replacement for my small kitchen. Easy to wipe out. Runs very quiet. Great product for the price.

I’ve had this for over 6 months now and it’s been very handy in my home office.I don’t understand why people were complaining about the wattage or the time it takes to warm things because I’ve had no issues.I love the color, it goes well with the decor in my office.Buttons and dials are smooth.A little on the louder side but not disruptive.The child lock is a very nice feature.

I am definitely giving this Galanz 0.7 cu ft5 stars. What a stylish classic piece and it works beautifully! Powerful and beautiful!Exceeded my expectations!Highly recommended.

Easy to use, very much on the smaller side- fits a regular dinner plate maximum. Small countertop footprint. Controls take a minute to get used to. Looks GREAT!
