Farberware FM11BKA Compact Countertop Microwave Oven 1.1 Cu. Ft. 900-Watt with LED Lighting, Child Lock, Easy Clean Grey Interior, Retro Black

We purchased this item for our kitchen at work. We needed something cheap that was basic and easy to work. This microwave is ideal for the workplace, college dorm room, etc. It works as needed.
It’s small enough not to take up a lot of space–but large enough to function as needed.

Love this microwave, easy to use, cooks well.

It was supposed to have a rotating glass plate . The triangular groves , themselves set a in triangular configuration under and at the centre of the bottom of the plate did not adhere or fit the turning protruding grommet below. The parts I’m describing are referred to as the “Aro giratorio” and the “Plato giratorio devidrio”.So it couldn’t even begin to work.

This is the classic, small, cheap, low-power microwave that has graced millions of dorm rooms, office break rooms and the like. If you look carefully, you’ll see that most of these small, 700 watt microwaves have absolutely identical control panels, meaning that the guts of this one and most of the others are likely very similar. I am sure Faberware licenses their name to whoever makes this, and the same factory in China probably makes most of the other ones that compete with it. A low-power microwave seems to be a commodity product at this point. So I would get whatever one is cheapest, in my case it was this black Faberware, but your mileage may vary.

Advantages: It’s cheap, it is very compact and good for small spaces, and because it has lower power it is less likely to trip a breaker than a full-sized microwave. This also means it is a good choice for an RV, cabin with a moderate off-grid power system, etc. I confirmed that even a Jackery 1000 can run it for several minutes without overheating, although it actually pulls just a tiny bit over 1,000 watts. The 700 watt rating is the energy going into your food, not how much power the microwave uses, I suppose. But even pulling 1000 watts, it doesn’t completely eat the battery in the Jackery 1000 to run this thing, it goes down 1-2% per minute of operation, meaning you could absolutely power this in a power outage with the big Jackery power station or something equivalent.

The disadvantages are simple too: It has a bit less power than a regular microwave so your food will take a bit longer to heat up. It can get stuff just as hot, it just takes a bit longer. That is really no big deal unless you are trying to microwave a frozen dinner and the recipe is designed for a regular, full-power microwave and you’ll have to guess how much more time it will need. More significantly, the oven itself is pretty small, meaning any oversized dinner plate or particularly tall item is not going to fit inside it. But it otherwise has everything a regular microwave has including a small turntable to help your food cook more evenly.

Most people will step up to a larger and more powerful microwave as their daily driver. If, for whatever reason, that doesn’t work for you, this thing is fine and it isn’t really that big of a step down from a normal sized microwave.

I use this microwave just about daily.
Works great, takes up little space, very happy with it
