hopefully I won't burn the popcorn in this microwave too!
Pros:
turntable for even cooking and the price was right
Cons:
air vent on side blows out a little too much heat
The Bottom Line:
I'd recommend this microwave to anyone in need of one, its the perfect size and everything cooks evenly thanks to the turntable.

Author's Review
I've had this microwave for about a year, after burning a bag of microwave popcorn in my old one and we couldn't get the burnt smell out of it, so decided it was time to buy a new one!
I went to the store to check it out and fell in love with the attractive design and the fact that it had a turntable for even cooking. I've also been known to use my microwave to store bread and rolls and was happy to see it had plenty of room to hold a few loaves.
I went to pick up the box and realized it was a bit too heavy for me, I still decided to buy it, since I wouldn't be moving it around too much. I also liked the fact that it wasn't too big and wouldn't take up too much space on my counter.
I got it home and into the house, setting it up was simple. Anyone could handle taking it out of the box and plugging it in. I set the turntable inside and it was ready to go.
As I said earlier, I don't use the microwave too much, but its great for heating up a cup of water for tea, rather than waiting 5 minutes for water to boil on the stove. Its also perfect for heating up those Lean Cuisine meals that I have for lunch just about every day or for heating up leftovers at night.
This microwave cooks evenly, thanks to the turntable. I even tried microwaving a pizza in there once and it cooked evenly. Its got several different settings on it, including a popcorn setting, in which the oven stops when popcorn is done as well as different levels of heat and a defrost button. The defrost works nice, because you can tell it how many pounds of meat you're defrosting and its very accurate.
Cleaning this microwave is very easy. I take the turntable out and wash it in the sink. Then I spray the inside of the microwave with glass cleaner and wipe down. Once I put everything back inside, it looks like brand new.
The only downside I've discovered with this microwave is the air vent on the side blows out a little too much heat, so you need to be careful not to leave anything sitting next to it while you're cooking.
I'd recommend this microwave to anyone, its the perfect size for a house, apartment or even a dorm room and it cooks great as well.
