My microwave is small it barely fits - do you need it to rotate to work? Or it's ok if it's just in the same position while microwaving

I actually contacted the company about this. The rep said that it 'needs to rotate in the microwave.'

Rotating help in microwave. That way the get all bottles when you are sterilizing them.

Your fine. I bought this for my friend and her microwave doesn't have a spinny tray at all

It's usually better when it rotates so that the heat can be evenly distributed but i believe it is still effective if it doesn't. It suggests 5 minutes as the microwave time but since you are unsure, add a few more minutes for peace of mind.

I don't really think this should matter much. The purpose of the sanitizer is to steam the bottles and components with the water that you put on the bottom. I don't think the sanitizer necessarily needs to rotate to heat the water to that point, so you should be fine.

You would have to measure the inside of your microwave in order to know, assuming you want to put the whole unit in the oven (blue base, bowl and lid). I measured the Chef Buddy I purchased and you would need a minimum space of 10 inches by 7 inches by 4 inches, assuming that there is not a turntable in your oven. If there is a turn table you'd need a minimum space of 10 inches by 10 inches by 4 inches.

I know that some of my bigger plates do not revolve like they did in my old microwave.The plastic type stand moves the plate then it bangs on the door. I love this microwave for my needs and that is the only fault with it.I would buy a bigger size for 11"

The microwave is smaller than we thought 19wx10.5H,the face plate is 23x15. You need space because it gets it air from the frount, you may have to trim out around the area. Check rv and marine dealers for better selection. The mfg was for rv. It had a smell for a couple months. It also has a knocking noise when certain plates are put in. We replaced a built in with this unit. For the price it was great, service avg to below avg.

No, it needs to mount to a cabinet opening whit the recomended dimentions. Its important for the microwave to be able to work appropietly.

The part that actually spins the plate is on the microwave, but it comes with the grooves on the bottom of the plate to fit the part on the microwave

I would of thought it would be ok. I have my microwave on there but, I'm only opening and closing the door!! I think with the mixer it would be a bit different. So it really depends on how heavy handed you are!!! Hope this helps..

No, in fact they want you to have open space around it. But don't buy it, it is the noisiest microwave I have eve owned...so disappointed!

the manual say that you should have 1 inch dlearance above the microwave. I think it has to do with the heat

I sent it back -it looks great -nice small size. I planed to mount it under the cabinet -but it didn't work right -didn't have enough power -I tried 2 of them , thinking I had just gotten a lemon the first time -but no -I wouldn't recommend buying this microwave -it doesn't work well -at all !!

Yes. I fold over the two opposite sides to fit the plate in my microwave. Sort of ends up looking like a "C" on it's side. I heat mine no more than 2 1/2 minutes. Since microwave ovens vary you have to experiment and be careful. As the other responder mentioned you can damage it if you overheat it. Start around 1 minute and work up from there.

The opening is 11 x 18, so it would need to be a pretty small microwave. The unit is sturdy though. I've got two.

Listen up. Micro = small. No, micro = smaller than small. So yes. A microwave oven would fit just fine. I'd recommend taking a route without many turns, however. Those suckers can get hot, and you don't want greasy bacon falling out and landing on your lap.

I left it in. It has reflective material on it, so I'm assuming it serves a purpose. Been using my microwave for months now and no probs with it being in there.

Yes, my microwave is even fairly small and it fits. Agree with LM that it does probably take a bit longer. This item is wonderful!

The plat that is provided with the microwave has exactly 10in in diameter. Having inside something bigger probably will make the plate not turning.
