I highly DO NOT RECOMMEND BUYING ANYTHING THAT IS HAMILTON BEACH. We bought this countertop product to replace a less than 4 year old, expensive, over the oven unit that started blowing the circuit breaker and was no longer usable. This unit works but almost immediately started making loud, worrisome noises sounding like a lawnmower. We are returning it to Walmart before the 90 day warranty expires.
Fits a full-sized dinner plate on the turntable and at 900 watts and pre-sets, heats up perfectly. Press 1 for one minute, 2 for two minutes, etc. Also has every other pre-set or custom option you’ll ever need, and looks great too! With Hamilton Beach microwaves we can see that despite their excellent value scores, these microwaves receive below-average cumulative ratings. I BOUGHT THIS PRODUCT MYSELF. This is by far the best microwave that I’ve ever owned/used.
This will be the last time and would not recommend this product to anyone. I would have purchased another brand if I knew this one sucked. The plate in the inside makes noise when it is rotating. At the time this one was all that I could afford.
Settings/Features The keypad lock setting is the best thing ever. Keeps little ones from microwaving their toys. Ease of Cleaning Cleans up very nicely. The priciest Hamilton Beach microwaves have 1.3 and 2 cubic feet of interior capacity and 1,100W to 1,200W of power.

Worked well from reheating a cup of coffee to cooking the carrots. Then in the middle of fixing lunch it died. Had just pulled one dish out and put the next in, when I closed the door it started without having put in the time or pressing start. Then it wouldn’t stop unless the plug was pulled. Consumer support, listed in the manual, said problem was beyond them and gave me a Wal-Mart warranty number.
