RCA RMW741 0.7 Cubic Foot Microwave, Stainless Steel Design

I've had this microwave for about a year and am moderately happy with it.

Pluses:

It's quite small, so it fits in a space under the counter that works well in my kitchen. I wasn't able to find many options in this size.

It's a little more attractive than in the picture. It's shiny stainless steel.

The door handle is easy to work with and keep clean.

Minuses:

The door is completely opaque, so you can't see what's going on with your food.

There's no "minute plus" button, so you have to enter times manually. It's easy (at least for me) to accidentally hit a number twice, so I'll enter 13 minutes instead of 1:30. To change this, you have to stop it and then click on a "reset" button that is a little hard to find. There are no big buttons for simple tasks.

The 'popcorn' button does not work well at all. My last microwave would cook bagged popcorn to perfection. I could put it in and walk away and it wouldn't burn. With this one, only about 1/3 of the popcorn will pop with the default setting. Adding time hasn't helped that much either. For some reason the bags will often split before the corn pops.

The rotating dish seems to slip out of its track very easily, causing it to rattle around.

General:

It beeps about 5 times when it's done. If you don't open the door, it will beep again after a while. And again, and again. I'm on the fence as to whether or not I like this feature.

The RCA 0.7 Cubic Food Microwave RMW741 works good so far. I have not had it long; but it worked right out of the box. It is easy to use; but I had to read the instructions first.

It beeps when it is finished cooking. Then it beeps again to remind you that there is food still inside if you don't take it out.

The control panel is easy to use. The areas to push for the different functions are easier to push and use than my previous microwave.

The clock was easy to set. It has been easy to use. I use a silicon mesh screen over the food that I cook to prevent splattering food inside the microwave otherwise the inside plastic liner can melt away from the cooking food stuck on the surfaces.

This 700 watt (output) microwave draws 1050 watts. It cooks in less time than my old 700 watt microwave two minutes less in cooking time.

You cant see through the door to the items being cooked or heated.

It has worked good so far.

I cook a large sized chicken thigh in 15 minutes with this microwave and a small chicken thigh in 8 minutes.

I had it for two days and used it less than 10 times. I was timing something and it started to smell like burning plastic and just turned off. When I touched it, the whole outside of it was very hot. I had to pack it up and send it back.

We bought this microwave because of it size and price.

OMG, its horrible: can't see thru window(?)in door; gets fingerprints just looking at it!;

beeping is LOUD; slides around on countertop; 'touch' buttons are hard to press;

AND WORST OF ALL will not shut off from cooking (even after pressing stop) if food gets done quicker than expected!!!

AND there is no -800 number anywhere and if u ask a question online, u have to pay 4 it!!

Insanity.

DO NOT BUY RCA MICROWAVES esp this one!!
