~*~*~*~*~ TOTALLY IMPRESSED! ~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Had this a couple of weeks now….. LOVE IT! For the price, I was expecting to be disappointed with SOMETHING on it, but this is one of those rare times that I “WAS NOT!!!” It’s a BEATIFUL deep rich “burgundy” color. It even has an LED light inside, AND……. It cooks just a tad faster than the ones I had in the past, so be aware of that. Test drive the timing for the 1st few uses. GREAT DEAL !!! It also has an “automatic” 30 second timer to warm up your coffee or tea ~~”CHEERS!”~~

Lasted six years
I bought this in mid 2017 and it has run fine all this time. It suddenly started running with no human input (i.e. pressing buttons). It still cooks fine when buttons are pushed, so we keep it unplugged until we need it. I’m here to purchase a new one. Six years is a long time to last these days for any appliance, especially a ‘cheap’ one. As an added bonus, we won’t need to learn any new quirky programming for a different model.

Small, full of features, but… not ventilated?
Needed to replace my Panasonic microwave when the interior, after only 2 years of use, the interior started to crack and rust (?!). And everybody complained that they don’t like the twist-set-time controls, so I picked this one, a slightly smaller microwave with push-button controls. Not that there’s a big difference between 1000W vs 1100W. The interior is slightly smaller, not that I ever put a large item in there to heat.I have a feeling the previous microwave interior was not properly coated, and I cook a lot of instant noodles with regular water, and that does generate a lot of steam, and if you don’t vent the interior, you do get a bit of condensation inside. So extra tip for microwave maintenance: when you boil water in microwave, vent it, then wipe down the interior once a day. If there’s an exhaust fan that blows out the stuff after your cooking’s done this is would be perfect, but one can dream.The controls are easy enough, and there’s a bunch of ‘quick set time” buttons… Press 1 will directly give you 1 minute of full power, 2 for 2 minutes, and so on. Who really uses all the settings in their microwave anyway? It’s full power, or defrost. :DNoise is about normal for a microwave,Anyway, so far, so good. the exterior is “stainless steel” kinda finish, and it does look a bit weird with some dirt on. So we’ll see how that goes. if something changes I’ll be back to report the results, but so far, it’s good.

Restrictions where unit can be placed.
I have used it a few times and it seems pretty powerful. I was unaware of the restrictions about where it could sit so had to figure out a place for it other than where I had planned. The 3 inches behind it and air movement for each side made it difficult in my small kitchen. Also, wasn’t aware of wiping it out when something produces a lot of steam. The microwave has to be placed away from a tv. People may know this but I did not. I thought the buttons where lit but only the clock/timer lights up. I still like the microwave and am pleased with the performance.

Nice for the price.
Like other reviewers said, it is a little noisy, but my dogs are noisier, not a big deal. It works just fine. It did arrive with a small dent in the door and one on the front. Obviously careless handling en route. The red color is really nice. And it’s pretty roomy inside. I like that it has a “kitchen timer” since my stove timer died. If you need a small microwave, I would recommend this one.

NOISY
I got this to use during recovery from surgery because my built in is far too high. It’s very pretty, works just great but it is NOISY. Yes I have the turntable in correctly, yes, I have the other components in correctly. It sounds like a heavy glass container full of boiling water~all the time.Also, the beep is shrieky and long and it will not stop if you open the door. That’s annoying when you’re standing right there and open the door on the first beep and then you get FOUR more. It’s super annoying when you have parrots as well.

Works great but loud!
Microwave works great, liquids and food quite sufficiently! Only issue is you can hear it from every room in my house. I don’t live in a mansion, but I expect if I close the door 20 ft away I shouldn’t hear it. Not deafening, but it definitely can be heard.

This microwave is quieter than our old one and the controls are simple to use.
We like the design with the pull handle to open and close the door, instead of a push button. Primarily use to cook veggies in a bag, melting chocolate and reheat foods.

Very loud
I do like the microwave but it is so noisy. I replaced a 30 year old Panasonic with this one and it is so much louder than my old one. The reviews said it was loud but I thought my hearing is not as good as it was so really, how bad could it be? Very bad. My other complaint is the control pad buttons are hard to push. In 30 years they couldn’t have made it quieter and easy to push buttons? I don’t know why it has to be this way if the technology was there many years ago. It could be a better product.

Pretty good for the price
The media could not be loaded.
We bought this microwave about five months ago so it is still new. I like the red color on the front. The sides and back are black and dark gray inside. It cooks well. For example, if I put in a mug of water for a min, it will be hot. Two frozen burritos for two min; it cooks mostly, but the center is not super hot. A can of soup in a glass bowl will heat in about two minutes as well. But the odd thing is it seems to cook more from the bottom when you take it out, and the plate or bowl will be super hot. I read this in other reviews and can confirm that. The sound on other reviews is, I think, a personal preference; it was as loud as my last microwave but louder than my mom’s expensive 600$ one. Overall, I recommend this for the price. I got it for 180$. I think it was on sale.

Looks pretty & does it’s job!
We moved and needed a new microwave that did not take up too much space and wasn’t an eye sore on the counter top, this one did the trick!! It’s also small, but still powerful- the worst feeling is needing to reheat something multiple times, especially when you have a short lunch break and are in a time crunch! I highly recommend to anyone looking for something sleek, yet powerful!

For the money, not a bad little microwave!
My old microwave finally gave up the ghost after around 13-14 years of pretty decent service. I mostly warm up meals and made-for-microwave entrees, and of course the obligatory batch of popcorn from time to time. Saw this pop up and it had pretty good reviews. Plus, I’ve owned Farberware products going back decades. I still have a Farberware Percolator coffee-maker that’s probably pushing 40 now, and a small countertop convection oven that I’ve been using almost daily for 16+ years. So I’m pretty cool with the brand.It has a much smaller footprint than the old microwave, but curiously has pretty close to the same sized heating chamber for capacity. This is rated for 1000w, and it definitely warms/cooks things much faster than the old unit. I can cook a full bowl of popcorn in 3 minutes in this one, whereas it took 4:30 in the former microwave. The front panel is sleek and simple, and for most things it’ll do just fine. If you want to warm something for 5 minutes, you just push the 5 button on the pad and walk away. It takes care of the rest. However, I think it’s unusually fiddly when you want to input a very specific cook time, like 3m20s. Yes, you can do it. But you have to go through this whole process of setting the power level first, then inputting the total cook time. It’s just a bit of extra keypresses when you need a very particular cook duration.It also seems a bit noisier to my ears than the old unit. Not necessarily standing under a jet engine noisy, but it’s definitely noticeable. I got used to it within the first few days, and it’s not that big a deal since I live alone, but if you’re given to late night kitchen raids and want to avoid waking the wife and kids, this one is going to thump and hum a bit.For under $100, I have no complaints. If it holds up as long as my other Farberware items, I should be set for the rest of my days. And if not, this didn’t break the bank, so it’s all good. For the cost and the efficiency I gave it 5 stars, with the caveats about the time input and noise. If you can put up with those, it’s a great value.

Most capable, least awful for its size among a crummy field
First of all, this Farberware microwave oven is Farberware only in name/branding, which Farberware licenses for the purpose to Englewood Marketing, which gets the ovens made mostly in China, and then markets, sells, and warrantees them. It’s not really up to Farberware traditional standards, but still probably among the best in a large, really crummy field of available microwaves.This oven comes in 4 or 5 different “colors;” mine is “stainless steel,” and calling that the “color” is pretty accurate, as there’s a thin veneer of what probably is really stainless on/around the front face of the oven, and that’s it, that’s about all the stainless on or in this oven, ‘most everything else is plastic and cheap, painted steel. The very first bullet point of the product description falsely says, “Stainless Steel exterior and Stainless Steel interior,” but that’s just a big, bad lie. (It’s generally easy to tell, as a magnet isn’t attracted to stainless – and stainless is almost never painted or coated, ‘cause it’s fine without.) Nonetheless, from the front, it actually looks good, handsome. From the top and sides it looks like what it is, plastic and cheap painted steel. But still it’s probably about as good or better as any other at the price.(There is another available color, “copper,” which is also handsome, but, ironically, reminds me very much of Revere Ware cooking pots, Farberware’s long-time traditional rival.)This oven consumes 1500 watts electrical power, by actual measure, same as advertised. I haven’t yet bothered to measure/test the microwave radiative power delivered into the cooking chamber, to see if it matches the advertised 1000 watts. (The difference, the missing 500 watts, is lost in the process of converting from electrical power to microwave.)This oven, so far for us, cooks well and evenly enough. There are a lot of reviewers here reporting various hard, early failures with this oven, but so far at least we’ve been lucky, ours works. Time will tell.Reduced power levels, e.g. 50%, as/when requested by the user, are achieved, not by actually running at 50% power, but by cycling between full on and off at somewhere around 10 second intervals with a 50% (or whatever) duty cycle. (Do all microwave ovens work this way, is it too hard to really “dim” the microwave generator?) I suppose this is mostly okay, but if you want say 50% power for a short period like 10 seconds, perhaps to soften a small amount of butter, you’re quite out of luck.The power cord is 3 feet long – rather short, too short for our situation, we’re forced to get and use an extension cord. Our previous microwave cord was 4-1/2 feet, which worked perfectly by itself.The oven’s operational noise is a bit loud, certainly a bit louder than our previous microwave.The oven’s audio beep signaling sound is produced on way too many occasions; and way too many beeps for less than no possible purpose – like it’s beeping to notify you at the end of a cooking cycle – which is pretty ridiculous in the first place, as the oven is noisy enough in operation that you’d have to be deaf not to hear it stop – and you’ve opened the door and it obviously knows that too but still continues to beep regardless; and it (the beeping, still) is too loud; and is especially sorely lacking a way to just turn the whole darn beeper off (i.e. *OFF*). A super nasty, irritating fault in my view, believing firmly that machines should be seen but not heard. Especially egregious since the makers of this oven invested so much in hardware and firmware for cheesy gimmicks like dedicated Pizza and dog-food buttons, but couldn’t be bothered to simply add a small bit of firmware to allow the owner/user of the oven to tell it to just be quiet, do not beep at me!Occasionally this oven requires two or more presses of a button before it registers. This is probably just some flakiness in the (always cheap) membrane button switches, but might also be a bug in the firmware, I haven’t lived with this oven for long enough to know which yet.The oven interior light is needlessly ridiculously dim; and the oven interior surface is needlessly dark, medium-dark grey (could as easily and better been lighter-colored); and visibility through its front-door window is very poor (heavily obscured by some kind of presumably protective masking, but also needlessly dark); so overall visibility of whatever’s inside is triply-needlessly extremely poor. My mate sarcastically called it “theatrical.” I call it nearly useless, almost impossible to see into. They could just as easily install a light bulb with 10 times the light output.The Instruction Manual is written in rather broken english, presumably by a Chinese, sometimes understandable, but often not. Fortunately the oven is not so complicated that you can’t generally bumble around and figure it out.Customer service – by Englewood Marketing, in Green Bay, WI USA – is remarkably quick, nice, knowledgeable and helpful, at least for answering operational questions. Didn’t try ‘em on any more substantial matters.The real, actual weight of this oven, including the turntable, excluding all the packaging, is 29lbs, 14ozs., i.e. 2oz’s. under 30lbs. The Instruction Manual says the “Net Weight” is “Approx 31.0Lbs” – but I’m pretty certain that’s just not currently accurate, over by a pound. Given that they specified the ostensible weight down to the tenth of a pound, I’d guess that their scale is accurate but that they have lightened/cheapened the oven by “approx.” a pound since they earlier put it into production and weighed it. And this oven’s weight is perhaps a little bit light in the field of similarly priced ovens. This might be somewhat the cause of the weight of this particular oven being so rarely noted – and so all over the map, anywhere from 24 to 36lbs., when it is mentioned.The warranty on this oven is nominally for 1 year – but, like pretty much all current microwave warranties, effectively worthless by the time you get done navigating its terms and conditions. In almost any case of a problem, you’d be better off just biting the bullet and getting another oven.So why, out of the hundreds of microwave ovens available, did we get this one? Because it appears to me that they are all pretty crummy, badly flawed, a number of them even severe fire hazards; of those that will fit our strictly constrained space, this Farberware seemed and still seems to be the most-capable/least-awful, at pretty much any price.If I were rating on an absolute scale, considering this Farberware oven’s many faults, I would give it only 3 stars. But, considering the large field of its mediocre competitors, grading somewhat on a curve, I’ll give it 4 stars for now.

Has a door handle
I really, really like this microwave; it is exactly what I was looking for. I didn’t need one that has all the bells and whistles and was a gazillion watts. More importantly, it has a door handle! I hate the ones where you have to push to open the door. Oddly enough, it has the one thing I don’t like in microwaves, and that is it continues to beep even when the door is opened, and can’t be programmed off. However, the sound is quite tolerable on this oven. I like everything about it: the size, the number pad, the wattage (1000), and the door handle! I looked a long time before getting this microwave; it’s perfect.

Heats more efficiently that we expected!
Build quality is mid-tier as expected, and looks modern and neat to the first glance, even the next. Light, yet feels durable. Decided to heat a Danish up for about 10-15 seconds just to warm and soften it up a bit, but I did not expect such a short amount of time would make it warmer than expected. Even heats up soup and turkey bacon in quite the hurry, and very efficiently at that. It’s a bit on the noisy side initially, but quiets down after the first couple seconds. The surface doesn’t attract much heat at all, even after extensive use, which is great for the surface it sits on and the items you may have around it.

Stylish, Works Well for Price
Bought in June 2017, still works great 6 yrs later! I really wanted a small countertop microwave that was stainless and white. So many are black and would’ve stood out in my light colored kitchen. This one has been great, no issues or malfunctions, the door opens and closes, turntable spins, etc. The only inconvenience is that the light bulb went out and I haven’t bothered to replace it yet. As mentioned in other reviews, the interior is rather dim so it is hard to see your food even if the lightbulb works. (Part of that might be because the screen is white, so your eyes don’t adjust to “see through it” to the inside as easily as a black screen.) We just got used to stopping the time and opening the door to check on stuff.***Also, highly recommend the white magnetic shelf seen on the side of my pic. Comes in a 2-pack and easily holds boxes of tea or glass spice jars without falling or slipping. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08DDBV6ZW/

so far it is good
Like I said so far so good. Bought a new one recently, it lasted eight months. I had an old one that I had for over twenty years as a backup, that started to rust, so I thought I’d better get a new one. I did a lot research and decided on this one. She is a beauty. Microwaves have come a long way, and I have started to take advantage of a few of the things that are great. One is that this cooks so much faster, so that is something I am learning because my old one didn’t have enough power. My favorite use is baking potatoes. You pierce the potatoes put them on a plate and hit the potato menu a couple of times and it is as if you roasted them in the oven. Even better is that you can slice them and make home fries or have a baked potato in just a few minutes. It also has instructions for beverages, frozen veggies, pizza. etc.

Good basic product
Nice color combo. Only 1000 watts but cooking time difference between it and a 1100 watt microwave is minimal or none. Only suggestion I would make is that to use the kitchen timer, you need to put 00 (zero zero) before inputting the numbers when you’re setting the timer for seconds only. Example: On most microwaves if you punch in 55, it will set the kitchen timer for 55 seconds. This one goes minutes then seconds on the kitchen timer. So if you punch in 55, you’ll get a 55 minute timer rather than 55 seconds. Just a little difference. On the regular cooking timer, you’ll get 55 seconds when you punch in 55. Still, a good product.

Good value, kind of loud
I moved into a new place that came with a crappy microwave, so I started looking for a new one. I was on a tight budget, so I looked at a lot of fairly cheap microwaves during my hunt. This one seemed to be one of the best rated for a reasonable price. I was a little hesitant because there were many reviews about receiving faulty microwaves. Maybe I just got lucky, but I’m really happy with my purchase. It’s a good size, and I haven’t had any issues with how it heats food. My only complaint is that it is a bit loud, but that’s something I’m willing to deal with at such a reasonable price.

Quiet and very effective.
I bought this microwave because of the name Farberwaree, it was 1000 Watts, 1.1 cu ft and the red one was reduced to $99.99. However, due to the video of the lady with the one that made all that noise I was prepared to return it . Wow, was I surprised… The red one looks great, works great, and so quiet I had to test it several times to make sure it wasn’t defective. Nope, nothing wrong with it at all and so far I’m truly satisfied with this purchase. 🙂

The red is only on the front trim. The microwave itself is black. It’s a very good looking microwave which I bought to replace my old white one. The size, wattage and controls are the same so there was no learning curve. I cook everything in the microwave so they get lots of usage. If this lasts as long as my old hand-me-down it will be incredibly inexpensive.

Works great
This farberware microwave looks great and works great. I like all the preset buttons and the handle makes it easier for me to open. The TouchPad could be a bit larger for older folks but it’s still readable. The only complaint is that it’s quite loud when using and the buzzer continues to beep even if you open the door, but aside from that it’s a great microwave.

Love it but it’s loud
Whatever cover material is on the control pad is coming off but the microwave is great

Not as powerful as our old sharp
Great that this was the right size for our cabinet but it’s not quite as powerful as the old sharp we had for years? Nice features and like the door handle opening better than the old one which was a push button that broke.
