Magic Chef .9 Cu Ft Countertop Microwave Red MCD990R

I love this Magic Chef 900 watt Microwave because it is just the right size, the red is awesome, the instructions are the easiest ever. The temperatures are true and unlike our last microwave we haven't burned anything. Over the years we have owned about 7 microwaves and this is my absolute favorite.

I just got this thing yesterday and put it in my kitchen, which looked pretty nice.
It is not a really big microwave, and it has less choices for heating then my generic microwave, which is in storage overseas for the next 19 months.

There is a button you push that will give you 30 seconds to heat. Keep pressing it and it adds another 30 secs. This is better than the 1 minute timer I had on the Emerson (which they have at K-Mart). This has a bunch of pre-programmed powers. This also has a timer function if you need to time something else.

The buzzer when it is done is not loud at all and the microwave seems to be the normal loudness.

Now the red. If you are afraid of color this is not for you because this thing is glossy nail polish red. Mine is against a white wall so it...Read more
