Guide Review
Cute Little Microwave
This tiny microwave has the smallest footprint, but still holds a 10" dinner plate. Sure, it looks like R2D2, but if you make a lot of popcorn, this little baby has four different settings. It pops regular popcorn, light regular size popcorn, snack size popcorn, and snack light popcorn to perfection. The Minute Plus Key lets you automatically add one minute at a time to any cooking setting. CompuCook is another feature that has automatic preprogrammed settings for 6 popular foods. The Double Quantity Key is used with the CompuCook feature so you can prepare double the quantity of those foods.

It's not a microwave for serious cooks. Since it has only 600 watts of power, some microwave recipes won't cook evenly, or will take too much time to cook the foods properly. But if you are a light user, you will really like this microwave.
