This is a basic, budget-friendly, low-power microwave that is commonly found in dorm rooms and office break rooms. You'll notice that most of these 700 watt microwaves have identical control panels, indicating that they are likely very similar on the inside. It's likely that whoever makes this microwave also produces many of its competitors. It seems that low-power microwaves have become a standard product at this point, so it's best to go for the cheapest option available.

One advantage of this microwave is its affordability and compact size, making it suitable for small spaces. Its lower power also means it is less likely to cause a power outage. Additionally, it is a good choice for use in an RV or cabin with a moderate off-grid power system. It has been confirmed that it can be powered by a Jackery 1000 without overheating, even though it pulls just over 1,000 watts. The 700 watt rating refers to the energy going into the food, not the microwave's actual power usage. Even when pulling 1,000 watts, it does not significantly drain the battery of the Jackery 1000, making it suitable for use during a power outage with a large power station.

On the downside, this microwave has less power than a regular one, so it may take longer to heat up food. Additionally, its small size means that oversized dinner plates or tall items may not fit inside. However, it still includes a turntable for more even cooking.

While most people prefer larger, more powerful microwaves for everyday use, this microwave is suitable for those who may need a smaller option. Overall, it is not a significant step down from a standard sized microwave.

I purchased this microwave at a special deal, only paying $84 for it, so I can't complain about the price. It works fine, but at 700W I always have to add time for cooking directions, as most frozen dishes or other items are based on using a 1200W microwave. It does require more space than you'd think, so be sure to check the specs for safety. It also requires a 4 feet clearance on one side, but I only gave it two and it seems to work without any issues. You'll also have to remember not to put things on top of it; there should be about a 10 clearance above it and at least 3 to 4 behind it. It has a nice glass revolving tray inside and I use covers for all of my dishes to trap most of the steam and prevent moisture from accumulating inside. The only annoying aspect is that when I want to set it to a certain time, I can't just press 150 for 1 minute 50 seconds; I have to push the timer button first and then enter the time. Overall, it's a good buy for the price, and it works well, even though it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of higher-priced microwaves.
