The product works well. It isn't top of the line, but Avanti's are used in hotels, so they should be reliable, as one reviewer said. Their price is reasonable. It defrosts and reheats well. Avanti customer service knows their products, and they want their customers to be happy. This may be due to operator error, but the microwave sometimes thinks the time you set on the clock is how long you want to cook something. I haven't figured this out but will ask customer service about it. If you've seen them in hotels, you know what they look like. It isn't exciting to look at but not unattractive. As well, I have a 9-inch, which doesn't take up too much counter space. It defrosts and heats my food well. If the instructions say defrost or cook in a certain time, it follows the directions. This microwave seems fine for my needs. I want it to do it's job and last awhile. For the price, it seems adequate. Read more

No, these aren't the microwaves we bought back in the 70s that lasted 20+ years, but these do just fine. Small, easy to use and that's all I need. Is it low-powered? Yes. Are you going to be able to cook with it? Nope, but if all you need is something small that can heat a meal or cup of coffee, then you are good to go. The first one I had lasted over 7 years and the only reason it died on me is because I got the thing wet to the point where water went into the turntable motor and shorted it out. It likely would have lasted another year or two if I had taken more care with it. They use this brand in hotels for a reason. Read more

Pulled it out of the box, plugged it in and tried to heat up a 1/2 cup of coffee. 3-4 trials and 10 minutes later, we still had cold coffee. Called the manufacturer to ask if we we missed a step, nope. btw - not even a "that's too bad" or "we are sorry" from them. Everything about it worked, except heating up food! At least the seller expressed some sympathy. Read more

Bought this as a Christmas gift on the recommendation of a reviewer who found them in many hotels that he stayed at. It does seem to be a solidly built, dependable little unit, but after only six weeks of use, it's a little too early to tell. Will update. Read more

This brand I recognized also from stays in hotels, so I assumed they are reliable. The power is not great, but good enough to be a big convenience. Very useful for a single person in a small space. I have it on top of a grip liner so it doesn't move at all when I push buttons or open the door. I only wish the volume of the beeping could be adjustable, but I'll live. I does all that good stuff microwaves do. Read more

This is a very compact microwave, if you're looking for one to fit in a tight spot. That's the reason we purchased it. However, after owning it less than three months, a couple of things are starting to bug me. The plastic coating on the push button panel started to loosen and bubble up almost immediately. Then, this past week, something has started to happen with the turntable, where it emits a slow, tortured squeal as it goes around. It's downright mournful, and so loud that my husband can hear it from our back yard. I've owned microwaves for over 30 years now, and I've never heard anything like it. I can't really recommend this microwave unless you can get it at a price that's too good to pass up. Read more
