Galanz GLCMKZ09BER09 Retro Countertop Microwave Oven with Auto Cook & Reheat, Defrost, Quick Start Functions, Easy Clean with Glass Turntable, Pull Handle, 0.9 cu ft, Blue

This is the perfect sized undercounter microwave for our RV. The child lock feature is a plus, and we really like the retro look of this product. It's ideal for small meals, which works for the small area in our bus. it is not too noisy, and there are several power levels to choose from when warming up certain foods. It isn't too complicated to use, and it comes with a manual that helps you to set the time and power settings. We also enjoy the red color! I would recommend this unit, especially if you have limited counter space! The price was also a determining factor.

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.

Ok, so I have only had this for a few days, but so far I love it. I'm a single older woman, and it wasn't as heavy as my old one that was turning on all by itself, or changing the time when I had food or water in it. That was dangerous, so I decided to get a smaller unit that was easier to use. I dont cook many things in it, so I dont need all the fancy buttons. I just wanted to turn a dial for the time and push a button! And that's what this one does, just like the one I had 30 years ago. I love it. It's also a pretty color, so that's good. It's not very noisy at all, looks easy to clean, unlike others I have had. I also like that it wasn't expensive. The buttons are really simple and easy to understand. Oh, and the light on the clock isn't super bright.

I recently went traveling to a place where I'd be for several weeks, but it had no microwave. So I went ahead and ordered this Galanz model. Advantages: Not super-high power draw (900w rated), so not much chance of tripping breakers. Just big enough for a dinner plate. The child controls can be disabled, although the instructions they provided for doing it weren't accurate. It certainly cooked well enough for my purposes, and while it was loud when it first turns on, this quiets almost immediately to a low level. For me, it was a fantastic choice to serve as a "travel microwave", and I got it super cheap here. I also quite like how with a single knob control, you quickly start an automatic 30 sec cycle, but if you turn the knob during this, the overall time increments as high as you like. This got me thinking that it might be a good microwave oven for those without much space and who perhaps are a little technology-challenged. "Put food in. Close door. Push button. Turn to the time you want. Wait until the beep." Very simple. One complaint: The black text on the red background is almost unreadable. Therefore I have to suggest getting a lighter color, unless they change the design.

If you need a microwave for a small apartment or dorm, this is perfect. Very small footprint and a great look. Also if you have small curious children, it has a lock mechanism so the door doesn't open unless you press the cancel/unlock button on the controls. Great way to prevent scaldings.

Great size, color and efficiency! We love this and it matches ourwall colors!

We had a 1300w but it would blow our fuse if we dared to try and use it with something else on the same circuit. Decided to get a low watt, but I was worried that anything less wouldn't work as well. I was wrong. This works much better than my last microwave that was much more expensive and bulky. This one fits better. Not loud at all. This one also looks cute. Only negative... and its not really a negative is its got an auto child lock that I wish I could figure out how to disable permanently.

This review is for the Mint Green 0.7cu ft 700W model. I like the Microwave - er, that is, my wife tells me I like it, because it's small. ☺️ But it is not very powerful. Seems like it heats cold liquid from the fridge about as slow as leaving it out in the Sun.🤭 I just heated about 1 cup of refrigerated liquid for over 1.5 minutes on high and it was still barely lukewarm. And the height of the door opening is smaller than the pictures say. 7.9" is what is shown, but that is max height inside at the center, where the top is domed upward a bit. The actual height of the door OPENING is only 6.5 inches. The rotating glass tray and it's lip take up about a half an inch inside at the bottom. So my brand new 6" tall ceramic mug won't fit inside through the front opening without tipping the rotating glass platter at the bottom sideways, so the mug can slide over the glass lip. Then you have to bounce the tray around to get it reseated. I'm not too happy about that. Operation-wise, it seems fine. There's no paper manual, so check the Ad details on Amazon. There's a link to download an electronic copy of the manual. I'm not wild about the new child-proof lock feature that requires pushing a button before I can pull the door open after the oven has shut off. Apparently a pencil-pusher somewhere thought people would accidentally fry their colon pulling the door open. I've used microwaves for over 40 years and never fried anything outside the oven. Whatever. The clock defaults to 24hr time, which is great if you ever need to know that it's not morning any more. It is very bright white digits too, so you can probably retrieve your burned bits by the light of the clock if the child lock ever fails and you burn things outside your oven. 🙂 Anyway, if you have anything 6" tall that needs to fit in through the opening, I'd recommend the brand, but would suggest getting the next larger sized 900W model. Otherwise, it's a really cute little microwave that will slowly heat your tiniest mugs full of cold stuff while you wait... 🙂
