Haden 700 Watt 0.7 Cubic Foot Microwave Oven with Digital Controls, Defrost, and Instant Start Countertop Small Appliance, Putty/Chrome

Compact Countertop Microwave is perfect
This microwave is stylish, sleek and fits beautifully in my kichen withour taking up too much space. Despite its compact size, it’s powerful and heats food evenly and quickly. The controls are intuitive and easy to use and the modern design adds a touch of elegance to my countertop. It’s the perfect combination of function and style and I’m very happy with it.

Good. A little noisy.
I love the look of this microwave, and it compliments my kitchen very well. So well, I went ahead and bought the matching toaster! The only downside is that the magnetron is a bit louder than other microwaves I’ve had (even cheap ones). This isn’t a huge problem since I don’t microwave often enough for it to be irritating, but I thought I’m mention it anyway.One random problem I personally experienced when first the unit was that defrost mode repeatedly tripped my circuit breaker. Odd, because continuous full power did not. I determined it was just the breaker going out, and I have had no additional issues to date.

WHITE is really CREAM
The ivory/white is really a true CREAM, which is actually what I wanted! – so I am happy! I needed a cream microwave to match my Frigidaire “retro” fridge because Frigidaire doesn’t make a matching microwave … well “cream” is hard to find – even in the retro styles. I think I only found two choices, but I didn’t care for the look of them as much. I really liked the look of this microwave, but I thought the white would clash, so I ordered the putty color first. I didn’t think it would be exact, but in the seller’s stock photos, it looked creamy(ish) to me, and it looked like it might ‘blend’. Well, when I got it, it was significantly darker than it appears in the listing. The putty color is a great shade, don’t get me wrong, but it was way too dark for me (see first photo). I then read reviews from people who said the white was more of a cream, so I thought,”Do I dare take a chance?” On some websites, the color is called ivory, so I expected it to be off-white, but I still feared it would be a cooler and lighter tone than I wanted/needed, but when I got it, it’s perfect! And I personally would call it cream over ivory. Will it be perfect for you? Not if you have a stark-white kitchen. If you want a true cream, then yes. First picture shows the microwave on top of my Frigidaire “cream-colored” retro fridge. I know photos can be deceiving, and I noticed a difference between the stock photos and each of the buyers’ photos, but how do you know which is accurate (compared to how it looks in person)?! I believe my second picture is an accurate depiction of the true coloration. Hope this helps!Regarding all the negative comments regarding the weak wattage, well, yes, 700 watts does not compare to a full-size 1400 watt appliance, but these small microwaves don’t usually come that strong, and if you need the small size, you’ll have to adjust. People said that they had to heat up their food for 2-5 times the usual duration, and that the food still came out lukewarm. My meal called for a two minute cycle, so I figured I’d need to leave it in four minutes (at least), but to be safe, I put it in for three, and tested it. It came out steaming hot! I feel that’s perfectly acceptable, especially since this is not my everyday (in-the-kitchen) microwave. Maybe there are faulty machines out there, but mine seems to work well.Regarding the ease of use, I took off one-star, because, yes, it’s a different system than we are used to here in the US. There are no number buttons, and you need to use a combo of the buttons and the dial to choose your cycle and your desired time, but it’s EASY-ENOUGH to learn! I watched a You-Tube video which simply explained the process and gave a few quick tips. Watch it. You’ll be fine. Just a slight learning curve.It’s still brand new for me, so we’ll see how it fares over time, and if it lasts, but for now, yes, I’d recommend it. Plus it’s just so dang cute. 🤗EDIT: A year and a half later and still going strong. No problems, and heat up time seems close to my normal full-size microwave. Still love the looks, and it’s works great.

Absolutely defective, Poorly Made
First one arrived and the black mesh screen on the door was cracked. No problem, returned it and ordered a second one. Second one came and it worked fine for a few days. Then it started shutting off in the middle of a cooking cycle. Happened when using the Instant Start button and the regular timed cook setting. The clock then goes haywire showing weird numbers and symbols. See video.Imagine putting in a bag of popcorn and having to restart the microwave multiple times during a 2 minute cook time. Every bag of popcorn was burnt, yet half the kernels still didn’t pop. Also I sometimes warm up liquids in a disposable Dixie coffee cup to drink on my way to work. Microwave would burn the glue holding the cup seams together. The seams would be burnt black, releasing that glue into my drink and making my house smell like a chemical factory. That’s never happened before, even with more powerful microwaves.Microwave is super attractive and looks sophisticated in the kitchen. But believe the reviews, it’s a terrible machine.

Great small microwave. I’ve seen others say this is hard to operate, but it is as simple as push the button to start and turn the knob for time. Easy-peasy. Definitely a space saver size-wise. It is big enough to fit a dish with a 10” microwave cover on it. It is a bit loud, but it doesn’t take long to heat things. At this wattage, it takes about 4mins to boil a cup of water. If you are used to a more powerful microwave it will take a minute or two longer than you are used to.

I am terribly disappointed with the manufacturer.I purchased the microwave in November 2020 . December 2022 I was warming up a meal and I heard a noise and to my surprise I began to see sparks in the microwave , it had began to catch on fire. This left burn marks inside the microwave. And of course no metal objects or metal decal/designs on the plate at the time of the event. They essentially told me there is only a 1 year warranty and so they are “Sorry for the inconvenience”. If the microwave had simply died that would be one thing. I would still find that pathetic considering I hardly use my microwave (I use my air fryer much more) but when your product begins to spontaneously catch on fire I think it is within your best interests to refund or replace it for your customer. Based on this experience I would not recommend this product , if you care about your safety I would refrain and look for something more reliable that is built with safety/concern in mind.

Small, compact and slick. Perfect for my small kitchen!
