Emerson MW8991SB 0.9Cu.Ft. 900 Watt Touch-Control Microwave Oven, Stainless Steel

I've enjoyed having this little microwave and it's been a fast heater upper. I do have a few issues with the product I wanted to bring to everyone attention, tho. It's painted inside with a cream colored paint that started coming off under the glass plate after a year of use. Maybe it's because my hubby likes to heat his sunflower seeds in the microwave and the plate gets very hot. I'm not sure. Next, just this past week the oven filled up with small, white, lightning bolts and scared me really good. I had to reach and push the release button to open the door not knowing if I would be knocked backwards or risk a fire. In all I believe the microwave gets to hot for the material quality it is made of. Just becareful with this little fellow and treat it with kid gloves. I hope my review helps someone.

I'm not very fussy on products like a microwave as I am other tech products; as long as it can heat up a Hot Pocket and a bag of popcorn, I have no issues. I bought this microwave in store for $80 (approximate). I've had it for just over a year (of course, it is only has warranty for 1 yr.) and it just died. Can't find anything wrong, and the cost to have a repairman come look at it alone (forget any actual work or parts) isn't worth the money or my time. I'll save money by purchasing a new one (of another brand) instead.

For those looking for a microwave and conducting their research on Amazon and online like I do, I would highly recommend to STAY AWAY from Emerson products, or at least this one.

It was a good microwave... for awhile. Then it decided to blow up. I haven't even had it a year. I spent a little more for what I thought would be a better microwave, but I'll stick with the cheapies from now on--they last longer. Btw, to get the parts to fix this microwave cost more than the original purchase of the microwave! Ridiculous.
