Would not stay on regular time no matter what you do. Purchased a hamilton beach 900 watt microwave January 2019 from Walmart. Whenever I placed something in to warm it a few seconds, it burned my food. Continued getting worse until I placed a donut in it for a few seconds and the microwave did not shut off. My kitchen was filled with smoke and donut was burned black. The microwave was filled with smoke and I thought it was on fire.
One feature that we particularly liked was the microwave’s “Express Cook” buttons. If you use Express Cook all the time, you’ll particularly appreciate this expanded set of features. The Start button also serves as a “Quick 30” button, allowing you to start a 30-second cook time or add 30 seconds to a timer that’s already started.
Countertop microwaves are the most common type. These freestanding appliances sit on the counter and plug into an outlet. They don’t require any installation and are ready for use right out of the box. Built-in and over-the-range microwaves typically require professional installation in a wall or cabinet.
The Hamilton Beach Microwave also has buttons for both Time and Weight Defrosting, as well as Power Level. We did appreciate the option to alter the power level, though. We regularly melt chocolate in the microwave while baking, and putting the microwave on 50 percent power is a useful way to minimize its chances of burning. I own this microwave for a year and a half and I am pretty satisfied with its performance. I use plastic wrap for covering the food while cooking it or warming up.
It needed to be cleaned up from the foam parts, but the features and functions were very self-explanatory and created no problems. It has a nice modern design and is very easy to use, many different settings for all my needs. I like the color and the wattage and power that it has and cooks my food quickly and thoroughly. It was very easy to set up, just plug it in and it works great. It works the way I expect it to and have never had an issue.
