Magic Chef MCD1311ST 1.3 cu. ft. 1100W Stainless Microwave

This item is very light. There is no push bar/buttom to open the door. Just have to pull the handle. But, the feet on the bottom are made of very a solid material and when I pulled the handle to open the door, the whole unit slid towards the edge of the counter. I would have to hold the unit while opening the door to prevent it from sliding off the counter. I resolved this little problem very quickly be attaching one non slip gripper pad to the bottom of each foot. (they can be bought in any hardware store.) The gripper pads hold the unit firmly to the counter top and the unit does not move at all when I pull on the handle to open the door. Another small problem. When I want to heat something, and we use this microwave 90% of the time for heating, I press the start, speed cook button which adds 30 seconds per touch. If you press it twice, 60 seconds appears. If I stop there, after about 5 second the unit comes on and starts to heat the item in the unit. I have pressed the button right above the speed cook button which is the clock button. Now I have to reset the clock before I can start over with the speed cook. Just have to get use to where the speed cook button is. SS inside is really very nice. Rounded corners without seams makes the inside easy to clean. Heating 16 ounces of water to a near boiling takes about 3.5 minutes at near sea level. Seems to have enough power and may be a little faster than our old Sharp, which was just about the same size and power. I don't think better can be found for the price. Have been using this item for three weeks now.

Much more than I expected as it's well built. Love the handle and no pushing to open. Features of more expensive models. So pleased that I choose this Magic Chef. Hubby legally blind and finds it so easy to use, expecially the 30 second increments on the start button.
