This review is from: Amana 1.4 cu. ft. Countertop Microwave, AMC5143AAB, Black (Kitchen)
I've had this for a few months. I did not want to buy a Panasonic or a Sharp because of their high failure rate. I have other Amana appliances, so thought I would try this. So far it has worked out very well. It's been reliable and nothing has gone wrong with it.
One time I grabbed the glass tray that rotates and spun it a bit. This was enough to make the belt inside the microwave angry for a while. It made a bit of a bumping noise while it was turning the tray. The belt eventually righted itself as the microwave is no longer making the noise.
So don't rotate the tray at all while you are cleaning or anything. The unit still works just fine. Overall, I'm quite happy with it.
My former Sharp microwave had the display die within a few months. The Amana's is still working.

Worked for about 2 weeks. Then unit began switching on when door is opened. Not clear if microwave radiation being emitted while door is open but light comes on and turntable spins. Also, one reviewer had indicated this is made in USA. It's not. It's made in Asia. Very disappointing.

This microwave is good. It heats in about half the time of my old one (which was failing) and it looks good, is quite large and is fairly quiet. It is hard to know how other ones are because my last one lasted a very long time, however I would certainly buy this one again if I needed a second one.
