This review is from: Magic Chef 1.6 Cu Ft Over the Range Microwave White MCO160UW My 10 year old over the range Hotpoint microwave suddenly died. I needed a replacement. I came across this Magic Chef unit and couldn't believe the price: A replacement for $150? I ordered the unit and didn't expect that much. What I got is a great working microwave with features I didn't have on my old unit. It has more internal space and with he recessed turntable I can cook and defrost much large food items than before. The fan is extremely effective although it's quite noise on full, but so it was on the old unit as well. I have noticed that some of the details like hinges and such seems a little bit more flimsy than on the old unit. We'll see as the years go by and this unit is used several times a day to feed my four kids if it holds up. But the first couple of months has been a great experience, and I can replace this one twice without it costing more than some of the units I saw at the appliance store. 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful: This review is from: Magic Chef 1.6 Cu Ft Over the Range Microwave White MCO160UW This model performed as to be expected... it adequately heated items. After just over one year it suddenly suffered a short and started starting by itself. Additionally, the control pad stopped working. We temporarily overcame the problem by leaving the unit unplugged until needed and it then only sometimes functioned. Perhaps the old adage is correct in you get what you pay for. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Magic Chef 1.6 Cu Ft Over the Range Microwave White MCO160UW Microwave MCO165UW over heats and turns off. First week had repairman out, ordered parts, after 3 weeks Magic Chef still had not sent parts, sent them 2 day. Repairman came back out and replaced parts. Still overheated. Magic Chef said heat water if it does not turn off it works like it is suppose to. Cannot steam vegetables, cook baked potatoes and so forth. Who buys a microwave just to heat water? Do yourself a favor and NEVER BUY Magic Chef. |
