Farberware Classic 1.1 Cu. Ft. 1000-Watt Microwave Oven with 11 Power Levels and Digital Display

BK: I really, really like this microwave; it is exactly what I was looking for. I didn't need one that has all the bells and whistles and was a gazillion watts. More importantly, it has a door handle! I hate the ones where you have to push to open the door. Oddly enough, it has the one thing I don't like in microwaves, and that is it continues to beep even when the door is opened, and can't be programmed off. However, the sound is quite tolerable on this oven. I like everything about it: the size, the number pad, the wattage (1000), and the door handle! I looked a long time before getting this microwave; it's perfect.

Natalia G: We moved and needed a new microwave that did not take up too much space and wasn't an eye sore on the counter top, this one did the trick!! It's also small, but still powerful- the worst feeling is needing to reheat something multiple times, especially when you have a short lunch break and are in a time crunch! I highly recommend to anyone looking for something sleek, yet powerful!

TraceyR: We had to replace our red microwave and this one is great. Has all the different options that we like and works great. Came much faster than expected too so that was a bonus!

T. A. Ashley: My old microwave finally gave up the ghost after around 13-14 years of pretty decent service. I mostly warm up meals and made-for-microwave entrees, and of course the obligatory batch of popcorn from time to time. Saw this pop up and it had pretty good reviews. Plus, I've owned Farberware products going back decades. I still have a Farberware Percolator coffee-maker that's probably pushing 40 now, and a small countertop convection oven that I've been using almost daily for 16+ years. So I'm pretty cool with the brand.

It has a much smaller footprint than the old microwave, but curiously has pretty close to the same sized heating chamber for capacity. This is rated for 1000w, and it definitely warms/cooks things much faster than the old unit. I can cook a full bowl of popcorn in 3 minutes in this one, whereas it took 4:30 in the former microwave. The front panel is sleek and simple, and for most things it'll do just fine. If you want to warm something for 5 minutes, you just push the 5 button on the pad and walk away. It takes care of the rest. However, I think it's unusually fiddly when you want to input a very specific cook time, like 3m20s. Yes, you can do it. But you...

Mich: Build quality is mid-tier as expected, and looks modern and neat to the first glance, even the next. Light, yet feels durable. Decided to heat a Danish up for about 10-15 seconds just to warm and soften it up a bit, but I did not expect such a short amount of time would make it warmer than expected. Even heats up soup and turkey bacon in quite the hurry, and very efficiently at that. It's a bit on the noisy side initially, but quiets down after the first couple seconds. The surface doesn't attract much heat at all, even after extensive use, which is great for the surface it sits on and the items you may have around it.

AnnCatherine: My other microwave suddenly died & had no choice but to find one online, as I got injured & could not get out to shop for several days. This was the only model that I liked the look of that also fit into the exact cabinet space we'd had custom-made for the now-dead one, so a no-brainer.
It also had good reviews, so was hoping to just kind of like it. Instead, I am very very happy with it.
First worry was that it has a lower wattage than my other one did, but so far, no problem or appreciable difference in the speed of cooking. This one is very used friendly (other one was never that) & took almost no time to learn the new methods and buttons. I was worried I would not like the grey interior, having always had white ones, but it, too, is so much nicer than expected, and I doubt I will ever again buy one with a white interior. It cleans so easily, and looks beautiful. I'd buy this one again in a flash!
And yes, as other reviewers have said, it is not a silent one! Noisy, yes, more than my last two were, but who cares? The stove, the regular wall oven, the blender, freezer, and mixers all make noise in use. I never expect to be cooking or working in a quiet...

Esmeralda Gongora: El color era que buscaba y su funcionamiento

CC: First of all, this Farberware microwave oven is Farberware only in name/branding, which Farberware licenses for the purpose to Englewood Marketing, which gets the ovens made mostly in China, and then markets, sells, and warrantees them. It’s not really up to Farberware traditional standards, but still probably among the best in a large, really crummy field of available microwaves.

This oven comes in 4 or 5 different “colors;” mine is “stainless steel,” and calling that the “color” is pretty accurate, as there’s a thin veneer of what probably is really stainless on/around the front face of the oven, and that’s it, that’s about all the stainless on or in this oven, ‘most everything else is plastic and cheap, painted steel. The very first bullet point of the product description falsely says, “Stainless Steel exterior and Stainless Steel interior,” but that’s just a big, bad lie. (It’s generally easy to tell, as a magnet isn’t attracted to stainless - and stainless is almost never painted or coated, ‘cause it’s fine without.) Nonetheless, from the front, it actually looks good, handsome. From the top and sides it looks like what it is,...
