iWavecube IW600SIL 600-Watt Personal Desktop Microwave Oven, Silver

Although the interior compartment only measures 6 1/4" tall, 7 3/4" wide and 7 3/4" deep, the instructions warn to only use a full size packet of microwave popcorn. Instinctively I would have thought a mini-bag would have been a better match for the tiny oven, but after pressing the pre-set popcorn button and then "start", the standard size bag popped perfectly.

My plan was to run through most of the pre-set cycles to test the oven. On page 16 of the instruction manual it recommends "For best cooking results, please reuse the oven only after five minutes between uses." So dutifully, I set the timer for five minutes and waited. Then, I attempted to heat a cup of cooled coffee. I put the 3/4 full cup in the microwave and pressed the pre-set coffee button and "start." The oven ran for ten seconds and shut itself off.

This is by far the cutest, handiest microwave oven I've ever seen. With a footprint of about 10 x 10 inches, it takes up barely more space than a standard sheet of paper, and it is only a foot tall.

It even has a fold-down handle on top to carry it.

The iWavecube can be used with either timed cooking or automatic programs. The programs include coffee, popcorn, hot sandwich, soup, and, interestingly, gel pack for those heat 'n' use therapeutic packs. If not using an automatic program, the timer is set in an odd, but very intuitive way. There are buttons for 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, and 5 minutes. The choices can be combined to customize the timing; for example, pressing the 5-minute button twice sets it for 10 minutes. The 30-second button doubles as the start button, making...Read more

I ordered this same item from a seller on EBay. It came very promptly. This microwave is good if your use of a microwave is minimal. Great for heating beverages, soup. Only a very small plate will fit in it& there is no rotation tray. Pros--small, stylish, very quiet & light weight. Cons- has a metal rack inside, no glass tray. Controls on top are difficult to see unless you are next to the microwave.
