This review is from: Oster OGB8902-B 0.9-Cubic Foot Microwave Oven, Black (Kitchen)
This model is the OGB8902-B. There is the same one without the B. I couldn’t find any difference between the two models. Same picture, but the B was lower priced, so I ordered it.
Mine arrived DOA, so I had to return it. It was set up and ready to go, so I thoroughly checked it out before boxing it back up. I’m not going to trash this microwave for arriving DOA. If it fits your needs, you will love it. Plenty of good features. *The price is right. *900W will reheat (and cook) just fine. (For this wattage and size, one of the best values I found.) *It’s nicely compact, but big enough to fit plates and various larger containers/bowls. *Very sleek looking, it will look good on your counter. *Plenty of presets.
But look at the picture as the description is incorrect: There is no 30-sec or minute plus button. I really don’t cook in the microwave or use the presets, but I do use the minute plus feature several times a day for quick bursts of heat. Had I paid closer attention to the picture, I would not have selected this one. So having to return and lacking a needed feature, I selected another microwave.
I read thru many reviews before selecting a microwave. In all price points there seem to be many complaints along the lines of “this microwave broke in 2 months / I had my previous one for 10 years”. Don’t think higher price tags mean higher quality, as it seems quality control is lacking in many places. With my limited microwave use and after having problems myself with a far more expensive one–repaired free under warranty / same problem a year later / GE wanted $85 for the service call–my new approach is to buy a decent cheap one, forgo repairs/service, and just get a new one every couple of years when/if it breaks.

The microwave oven was working fine until I used the defrost by weight function. After completing the defrost the screen went black and I cannot heat anything. In addition, whenever I open the door the light comes on and the dish starts rotating.
I contacted Oster and received the following response: “We are sorry to hear about the problems you experienced with your microwave. The product you are inquiring about is handled by a different company. Please contact Galanz North America at 866-257-3336 for assistance.”
I then called Galanz North America and was told that they could not provide service because I bought this microwave through Amazon and Amazon was not listed as an authorized dealer.

This review is from: Westinghouse WCM770B Counter Top Microwave, 700-watt, Black (Kitchen)
A solid, basic microwave. It does everything we wanted. We have held off buying a microwave for years because we have been concerned about the possible health risks, however, we finally gave in and got this one. It has a really clear display and setting the time was easy. The functions are so intuitive I finally found a microwave that I can figure out the defrost setting without having to go to the instruction leaflet every time.

A bit tiny compared to my previous one, but has the same features as the bigger one. It’s only me and I don’t use it for every meals. Maybe every other day. I only tried it out yesterday to reheat something quick, and it should it worked out great. Would recommend for 1 person cooking or heating things up. Perfect size, as it doesn’t use up a lot of counter space.

Very nice looking, but no minute plus button,
