Customer Review: Don't buy this defective Chinese-made Microwave Oven!
I never liked Haier appliances because I had unpleasant experienced with several defective Chinese-made Haier appliances, especially for this microwave oven. They broke down many times. That frustrated me. Now I realized that Communist Chinese manufacturers plotted to weaken our economy by outsourcing our jobs to China and sending their defective and dangerous products to us. The Communist-ideological clever devious scheme forces us to buy more low-quality and defective products from China in order to gain exorbitant profits for their glorious Red Chinese Communist victory! Don't buy Chinese-made products or you will be a big sucker!
Customer Review: Don't even think about it
A leading consumer organization tested this model. All five units they tested were defective! Other Haier models have received poor grades from Amazon reviewers. Need I say more?

Sanyo EM-S9515W Family Size Microwave Oven

Sanyo EM-S9515W Family Size Microwave Oven Sanyo Fisher Home Appliance / Microwave, 10 Power Levels, 20-5/8x12-11/16x18-3/8, White / SNFEMS9515W
Customer Review: Good for the price.
This microwave shipped quickly, and although I was worried about damage in shipping, it arrived fine. In use, it has a rotating plate inside that is a little jerky and makes little bumping noises as it rotates when in use. I had a Wal-Mart one in the past that did the same thing. It is a little annoying, but I guess it gets the job done.

Customer Review: Great Product and would not hesitate to Buy Another!
This is technologically the best microwave that I have ever owned. I have only had it about a week, but the turntable is what elevates it above my first microwave, a 1976 or 77 Tappan-Touch with browning element. The browning element was hardly ever used, so I did not require one when I bought this Panasonic. This microwave actually replaced my 1979 Amana RadarRange, whose timer had finally given out. I saw no reason to repair the extremely heavy beast due to door wear, aging of insulation, and other such considerations. The new Panasonic weighs much less than the older microwaves, so even I can pick it up and move it. The pop-out dial simplifies the board use and is an improvement in the ergonomics. It is very easy to learn how to use. The sensor function cooks TV dinners to perfection. The inverter defrost works well, also, and is a great improvement over my previous ovens. My only complaint is the heaviness of touch required to depress the door latch button/panel. They really should use a weaker spring on these. The display is not too bright and is welcome in dimmer lighting or in the dark. (I don't regard this as an energy vampire, because I need the clock feather visible and because extreme energy use resulting in global warming are really, at their hearts, human overpopulation issues and won't be solved in my kitchen. Also, I've converted all my lighting to low-energy use fluorescent, etc, so it's hard to feel guilty for having an electronic clock display that I need to be able to see all of the time.) I also recommend this microwave because of the size. One can never have a wide enough turntable. I will also be able to finish-cook a decent-sized turkey in this oven to moist perfection, after pre-browning it in my regular oven. I bought the 2 year extended replacement warranty just in case the fuse or other parts should prematurely burn out, as they sometimes do on the more inexpensive microwaves, and recommend this. Although this has a popcorn feature that works well, I found out that studies have shown that the cooking of popcorn is what most often prematurely kills microwaves because popcorn doesn't have much moisture or enough material to absorb enough of the microwaves when it cooks (and neither does bacon). So just avoid cooking popcorn and put in a cup of water when you cook bacon and you should be alright. That 2-yr extended warranty, either from Amazon or directly from Panasonic in the paperwork, should help with your peace-of-mind. What a great product, overall. Thank you Panasonic! (And thank you Amazon for quickly replacing the first one that showed up with both the front door and the back dented in from shipping damage. The replacement was perfect and works perfectly as well!)
Customer Review: Real Workhorse!
I bought this for our office, servicing 40+ people. Huge capacity and runs like a dream. Great for office party because you can heat up those larger dishes. Very good product no problems at all!

Sanyo EM-U1000W Compact Microwave Oven, White

Sanyo EM-U1000W Compact Microwave Oven, White Compact
Customer Review: Great little microwave
Got this for my mom and have used it several times myself. It's compact enough to fit sideways on a narrow counter, which is what she needed. My only warning is about the popcorn button. It leaves the bag about half-popped. I'm assuming that you can set the timer for a longer cook time and have it do better, though. It also doesn't have a convenient quick-cook button (Minute Plus type). But it does a great job overall and is pretty.
Customer Review: Well built and thought microwave oven
I have purchased this microwave and used it for over a year. I really like it, and it is packed with nice features and well built.

Highlights:
- bright LED that displays the time and cooking settings. It has 2 colors: green and red.(compared to a LCD on most cheaper ovens - I am not mentioning mechanical jogs ones).
- Nice handle to open and close the oven door
- 800W cooking power: it has been plenty for me, and it is power efficient on the electrical bill side.
- Supports multi-stage cooking with preselections
- Original design
- Easy to clean touchpad
- Nice build quality, no loose parts
- Turn table of over 10 inches is a quite respectable size for this oven.
- Reduced footprint on the counter top space.
