Pros

• Compact.
• Durable with stainless steel construction
• Enough room for cooking
• Pre-programmed cooking menu options

Cons

Sometimes the 700 watts of cooking power doesn’t seem adequate to reheat the cold food straight out of the refrigerator. It will take certainly longer for a 700 watts unit than a 1100 high powered one.

The automatic defrost function is not as accurate as other high-power bigger units

But, overall, this is a nice little microwave that does the thing without compromising too much on features.
