Sanyo Performance: Compact, Efficient, Quiet, and Easy to use.,

This review is from: Sanyo EM-S2588W 0.7-Cubic-Foot Microwave Oven, White (Kitchen)
First, take note that Amazon is inter-mixing reviews for two entirely different models here: the Sanyo 6588 and 2588 series. THIS REVIEW IS FOR the EM-S2588W (2/3 ft @ 800 watts in white).
Next, consider that a compact microwave of this size is typically used for reheating a dinner plate, cooking a potato, heating soup, hot-water for tea, and warming up a brownie, cake, or other snack.
THE GOOD:
Interior light comes on as soon as you open the door.
'Instant on' via +30 second button for quick reheating.
Three custom memory programs for your most common tasks.
Nice full-height door handle (no button) for opening it.
Compact, attractive design, turntable, 800 watts of power.
It CAN handle a dinner plate size of 10-3/4 inches diameter MAX... somehow I got lucky guessing the interior size, as our plates barely fit. (exterior dimensions provided by Amazon ARE accurate.)
If you're hoping it will handle a 10-7/8 inch...Read more

The microwave is attractive and it was shipped and received a lot sooner than anticipated! I was overjoyed! I too had been searching and researching trying to find the right compact oven that suited my needs and this fit the bill! I read the review that stated that for no reason, the clock suddenly shut off. I did NOT heed to this warning feeling that she must have done something wrong because all of the other reviews were positive. So, I went ahead and ordered the microwave. I have only had the microwave for 2 weeks now and NOT only did the clock shut off BUT the power shut off on the entire unit!! I couldn't believe this happened to me! I unplugged the unit and replugged and pushed buttons. Nothing happened. I began to look for the box that the microwave came in so I could return it and ALL of a sudden the clock popped back on!! What's up with this? I felt relieved and the next day decided to pop a bag of pop corn. Everything SEEMED to be working properly and I was happy again BUT...Read more

Just What I Needed!,

This review is from: Sanyo EM-S2588B 0.7 -Cubic-Foot Microwave Oven, Black (Kitchen)
I'm very pleased with this product. It's just big enough for everything I need (fits a full sized dinner plate), and yet has a very small "footprint". The turntable works well, and is hard to find on such a small microwave. 800 Watts rather than the typical 700 Watts is nice for such a small unit - plenty of power. I also like that it does not have a push-button door opener - I've never found those to be easy to use. This unit does an excellent job, in a small space, and at a good price.
