How used is this microwave really?

I'd truly caution you from buying this microwave unless you are placing it on a counter NOT surrounded by cabinets! It get HOT! My built-in of this microwave was replaced with Advantium and it is SOOOOO much better!

I can't tell you about the microwave ... i only use the convection oven and it is very good. Would reccommend it.

I bought two for my Wife, one for home and one for work. She loves it and is going to run a real time test on it right now to get an actual time. She loaned it to a coworker who used it for a week and bought her own but got one with eucalyptus which she didn't like as well. 1,000 Watt microwave, 2 minutes, provided about 20 to 25 minutes of super heat and gradually cools. Helpful?

It has a 15 amp rating, or about 1500 watts. (Watts = Amps X Volts; household current is about 115 volts). If the microwave is something designed for household kitchens, it will be fine. I think most microwaves are about 750 watts. There might be smaller units available. This one is designed for computer use; it has extra features for telephones, etc. You might try this one: Tripp Lite 1 Outlet Portable Direct Plug-in Surge Protector/Suppressor 600 Joules (SPIKECUBE)

I don't use it in an enclosed space of any kind. As it vents like crazy. I happen to have curtains nearby that are shaken to the core when the microwave is in use.

I have had this microwave for 9 months. It has worked perfectly and I am very satisfied with it.

I have not found the average mode to be very useful, most microwave source are very intermittent, except your kitchen microwave oven. I usually keep it in max mode when I first enter an area, then switch to instantaneous to identify the source.

It is a sturdy little machine, great for parties, fund raisers and yard sales. However for commercial use I would go a little stronger. Also check the requirements needed by your local health department, for example a home microwave can not be used in a industrial kitchen.

No it's not a commercial microwave. I bought it at Best Buy consumer electronics store and it was one of the various brands they featured for home use. It has some good features but what I fail to come to grips is why the faceplate as I have already alluded to, does not illuminate like my old Quasar did. Ridiculous!

There's nothing you can do about it, your microwave is too small, unfortunately. I have to say though, that even though this thing does what it says it will do, its no better than cooking pasta in your pot on the range. It's not faster, not better. I used it once and have never bothered with it again.

Yes. I bought it as a gift for my staff and the y love it. It works better than the older microwaves and we're able to bake cookies and toasted cheese sandwiches. Big hit.

I use it to heat up my sandwaches at school. It can heat up a cup of coffee. You must adhere to the directions. Remember it must not be confused with a large microwave. You can heat up a slice of pizza. It is great for its size.

We bought ours to go in my husband's semi-truck. (because of the small size) Never worked in there--- brought it into the house and it worked right away. Bought a cheapy and it works fine in my husband's truck--- it is the only microwave that wouldn't work in the truck---

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.

No, sounds like any other microwave we've had. We really like it and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to other people.

IT IS A GREAT MICROWAVE.. IN FACT we have 2 Samsung Microwaves. They make cooking easy and fast.

I noticed the other two responses. I've never had a problem with this Sunbeam Microwave, it's the best you could own. I just figured I'd add that to it.
