 (12 customer reviews)

(Now 1 year & 5 months later, it has died and not feasible to repair, very disappointed, I'm back to using the 20+ year old one.)

My first Amana Radarange I had for over 20 years(it's still running, but loosing its cooking power). Even though Consumer Report didn't test this product I bought it anyway due to past experience and it came in stainless steel.

It is actually lower wattage than my old one, but it much more powerful. Great space inside, but due to the turntable (that you can't turn off)my rectagular dishes bang around.

I only have one negative: You can't use the kitchen timer feature and use the microwave at the same time like on my old one.

I have had this microwave (Amana 5143aas) for about a month now, after the death of our 30 year old Sharp Carousel. This oven does all I ask of it: reheat coffee, heat soup, frozen dinners, steam vegetables, melt chocolate & butter, all beautifully, quickly and evenly. I prefer the door handle instead of the pushbutton on my old microwave. It has infinite settings, and the only thing it does not have that the Sharp had is a time delayed cook function, but I can easily live without that. It has many functions I have not explored yet, and look forward to. I love the look of the steel exterior, and it is easy to keep clean.

I ordered this microwave oven for my daughter because she 1)needed it and 2) it is American made. I expedited the shipment so that it would be there for Thanksgiving. It got there in a couple of days and was packed very well. The description stated that it could prepare a whole meal and well it did. While we monopolized the regular oven with baking the turkey, most of the other items were prepared in the micro.It worked wonderfully!
