5 out of 5 stars Great microwave   December 10, 2007
Emil Schultz (minnesota)
Has all the features needed & then some.Easy &simple to operate.It replaces a 900 watt Emerson that died after 4 years & alot of use.If this one lasts that long I'll be very happy.It could use a timer but no big deal.Nice looking & a lot of features for the money.

Well, I must say I made this order(overseas) with Amazon, for family living overseas...and within 24hrs this was delivered-wow...great!! But now, the next thing, is to see how my family finds the use of this microwave...I do hope, that since those last four reviews, that there would have been improvement(it took quite sometime, for me to finally make the decision as to what would be IDEAL). So,for now, I give it a three star rating...until later.

The first one I received didn't work. I sent in a quiry received a reply and got postage to send it back UPS. I did and within days the replacement came. It works fine. I like the controls on it. It has a lot of options and quick cooks. It's the right size for my apartment too since it's 900 volts it's doesn't overload the circuits.




1 out of 5 stars Stopped working after 14 months   September 13, 2006

I have bought the oven 14 months ago at Target. Everything seems to working fine except... it does not heat anymore. I have not used it much since I bought it. Could it be a case of "if you don't use it, you loose it"? The warranty has expired, so i am done with it.

The other reviewer is incorrect about the microwave's (in)ability for specific cooking time input. All you have to do is hit the Power Level button first, then the numbers will allow you to input any time you want, 8 seconds or 45 seconds or whatever. I have the same 8992sb that the other reviewer has.

I've had the microwave for 3 months, and for the most part it has worked very well and is very easy to operate. One minor flaw is that the Popcorn button, when pressed once, defaults to settings for a 1.75 oz bag of microwave popcorn. This is the "mini" bag size that isn't very common. Most microwave popcorn comes in a slightly larger bag, and to set for that you have to push the Popcorn button TWICE to get to the correct setting. This is counter-intuitive, as the majority of microwave popcorn on store shelves is the larger size. It took me a few bags of popcorn to figure that out, and I had a LOT of unpopped kernels until I looked back at the manual and then at my box of popcorn to see that the microwave doesn't default to the most common size. But that's minor.

The major flaw with this microwave is WHERE IS THE KITCHEN TIMER? Most new microwaves nowadays have a kitchen timer. The store where I bought this microwave lists that it has a kitchen timer. This site lists that it has a kitchen timer, and this microwave has the exact same button display as mine. The owner's manual does NOT list a kitchen timer. I have pressed every button on the thing, and there is no timer. I tried adjusting the power level from 1 - 10. Power level 1 still turns on power, and there is no Power Level 0.

I used the kitchen timer on my old microwave all the time. When I bought this one, multiple sources listed it having a kitchen timer. But there is no timer. If I had known before I bought this microwave that it had no timer function, I would NOT have bought it.
