Winco Commercial-Grade Microwave with Touch Controls 1 000 W 9 Cubic Feet

We've been using this microwave for close to six months now, and so far so good. We like the simple design with the rotary dials and really love the ease of not having to deal with the spinning plate. The interior is spacious and easy to clean. We only ever use the time knob, never the power level knob, and we certainly don't miss all the different buttons on our previous over-the-range microwave that died. (We're remodeling the kitchen and figured we could replace this one about five times for the price of just one drawer microwave.) If you are looking for a gorgeous exterior for a highly visible spot in your kitchen, this might not be the best bet, but I rather like the retro, convenience-store aesthetic. It doesn't strike me as any louder than our old GE Profile microwave, but the fan does continue to run for a minute or two longer after one finishes cooking some items--I think mostly things that put off steam or that take a while to cook. If that helps the unit last longer then it seems like a fair enough trade-off. The unit seems solidly made and heats the food evenly in a reasonable amount of time. The only question is how long it lasts. We're two empty-nesters, so my expectation at this price point (I paid about $250) is a good long time. Read more

Works great, heat is consistent and I love the ease of use ! Wish it had a clock Read more

This microwave has been a lifesaver! It's functionality has been perfect. Only complaint is how loud the fan is. Read more

So far, I love it. The simple controls of the analog version (dial for power, dial for time) beat loads of buttons. The lack of a rotating plate and clean ceramic and stainless interior are very, very nice. Minus: it beeps like R2D2 having a nervous conniption and there's no way to reduce the noise. Read more

nice type of microwave one knob for power level, one knob for timer it’s not okay that it was smashed in and re-boxed, that voids any warranty i paid for new Read more

Built like a tank. Simple rotary controls. Ease of use. Easy to clean. First 1000 watt microwave I've ever bought that actually produced 1000 watts. Be careful, this machine actually works. By not having a moving a rotary table and a million options (you'll never use) operated with plastic menu controller that is sure to break within a year, Winco has eliminated most of the things that fail on your typical microwave oven. K.I.S.S. Keep it simple, stupid. Read more

When we first used it, we noticed that the magnetron is very loud and there was a very loud metal rattling noise when it kicked in. The unit worked fine for a day and then it wouldn’t shut off at the end of a cycle. No matter what i did with the dials/start/stop button, it would act like it would stop cooking and then start backup within a few seconds, even opening the door didn’t stop it from cooking (which was unnerving to say the least). Ended up unplugging it. The unit is too expensive for such poor quality. Very disappointed as it was a Christmas gift for my mom who suffers from low vision and can’t easily use a microwave with a lot of buttons. Read more
