Title: Beautiful and perfectly functional.
Review: I bought one of these microwaves in approximately 2011 to replace a really huge one I’d bought way back when microwaves were just getting popular around 1985. The big one worked great but I just had to replace it with something more compact when I moved to a house with a smaller kitchen, so I bought this one in 2011. It gave me perfect service till my century-old house in Detroit finally needed major electrical work. Something went wrong–a power surge or something–and it was fatal to the microwave, so after the electricians charged me an arm and a leg for new electrical service–new wiring and grounding, etc. I had to replace the microwave because of the damage it suffered because of low voltage (or something like that.)Fortunately I found the exact same model at Amazon, and here it is in my kitchen looking new–just as good and even better, since it’s brand new. I consider the old (2011) one to have given me enough service (about 14 years of reliable daily use) for it to be retired and replaced with a new copy of the same model.The feature I like best about it is the “express” key. You put your food into it, close the door, and you already know how long you want it to run and the power level. To reheat a cup of tepid coffee, it’s a minute on high. So you push the “express key” twice and the “power” key once and voila. If the coffee cup is only lukewarm and not cold, you push “express key” just once and the power key once and voila. You get used to that and you do it without thinking, and your kitchen experience is quick and automatic.If I’m thawing a container of my good chili mac (chili with cooked pasta added) I know exactly how long I want to zap it and at what heat level. Three taps on the “power” key, twist the timer knob to about six minutes and voila. Hot chili mac for lunch.This is an example of how important a “new” appliance becomes when its usefulness is realized. What would we do without internet? Personally I couldn’t live without it. Of course the refrigerator, introduced around 1920, became “a kitchen essential” immediately–“spoiled food” became nothing but an ugly, dangerous memory. Other appliances that soon followed and became instant essentials–the electric toasterr, and then the electric mixer, the electric coffee maker, and then the electric frying pan in the 1950s–one of my favorites.And finally the microwave. And this Nostalgia Electric model is dynamite! It’s a cool-looking “retro-style” addition to the kitchen counter–compact enough not to take up too much space–and does perfect work for me every day just as the first one did for 14 years.So do I like this microwave? Uh…yeah, I guess I do.

Title: A Microwave For All Environments
Review: This microwave is great. It heats up my food to higher temperatures than what my food was originally at. And it works everytime! Not once has my food gotten colder when using it. I can’t rate this microwave highly enough. I used to not have a microwave and was forced to eat my food at room temperature or sometimes cold. This was unfortunate, especially when i had to eat a cold soup or cold leftover pizza. My friends actually stopped visiting me because of this. But now i’m back baby. Also the microwave is lightweight and quite transportable. I normally keep it in the kitchen, but sometimes i will take it into my bedroom and put it on the nightstand so i can easily reheat pizza in it while i am watching tv shows in my bed. Or also when i’m watching my shows in the living room i will bring it in there with me. My favorite tv show is Jerry. And i also like Bernie Mac. I’m planning a vacation in a few weeks to Tahoe and will likely take the microwave with me so i can be sure to have hot food everywhere i go. Thank you Nostalgia microwave!

Title: Pink retro Micro
Review: Oh so cute! In all its pink retro glory our built in microwave went out recently and instead of the whole ordeal to purchase and install a new one right now we were looking for a quick solution this was a great option! It’s a great size it fit right on our counter simple display and easy operating just make sure you press the button before opening it after your item is done cooking if you don’t press the button the door won’t open no biggie at all once you get used to it it is the perfect retro pink and just so cute! Would be great for an apartment or dorm but just as great for your everyday kitchen works well since we’ve had it and it’s now June 2025

Title: Perfect!
Review: Love the look, quality and easy functions. Actually prettier and shinier than the pictures reveal. If you’re a review reader, ignore reviews that say they’re irritated by the childproof locking door. In the instruction booklet they tell you how to disassemble that function if unnecessary in your household, super easy to undo. I recommend actually reading the user booklet, will also tell you how to set the clock, etc.. I was looking for a small microwave as I have a small kitchen and don’t need to cook/reheat large amounts of food. Then I came accross this cutie! Love the yellow! With all the pictures I wasn’t sure if it was a dull yellow or really bright, for me it’s the perfect shade of yellow, not blinding, not dull. Took one pic with the flash, so you can see the differences in shade, or not.. lol. Anyway it works great, has a turntable and inside light, and love the price! Thank you Nostalgia. 💛

Review: This microwave should not be sold in the UK. It arrived with an American style plug fitted. Not safe to use adapter or converter, as stated in info book, which came with the microwave. I contacted seller and two electricians. Seller sent me an adapter separately. Only meant for sale in Canada and USA. It could result in injury and damage. I had to return this microwave, as it was not safe to use. A hassle getting lable printed. Then courier turned up with a label ! Very stressful. No information when ordering that it had an American style plug fitted. Very disappointed, as I loved the colour and style.
