Daewoo KOR-7LREM Retro Countertop Microwave Oven 0.7 Cu.'., 700W | Mint Green

Pros: 1. This microwave looks great. It's stylish, and kinda cute, but without trying too hard at it. 2. It's elegant and easy to use without losing any of the settings or functions that I have ever actually used. Fast and easy for frequent use. 3. It's small, energy efficient, and doesn't constantly suck power like all those other silent vampire electronics. 4. It's a steal. Cons: 1/2. No clock. I like this a lot, but I have other clocks in my kitchen and on my wrist. Make sure you've got at least one other clock around. 1. It's small. Actually take measurements before purchasing - some plates/bowls might not fit. Our largest plates have to be tilted a little to fit, and then aren't turned by the turn table. But then, we rarely microwave using our largest plates. 2. Energy efficiency comes at the price of power. Not enough that you'd notice it for most anything, but if you decide to boil water you'll notice then. Everything else is the same: meat, potatoes, popcorn, cheese, thick soups, leftovers, etc. Just water and soupy soups take a little longer. 3. The feet are not rubbery - will slip around on most counters - and came slightly uneven. This was easily fixed with those standard feet-rubber-sticker do-hickeys. This purchase was to replace the microwave that got me through college - it had a lot of sentimentality to overcome, but has thoroughly won me over! Turns out all I had to do was replace the fuse on the old one, and I could've had it back and returned this one, but I was already too impressed to do so.

2021 update: Alas, this little microwave died after just four years of loyal service. My spouse noticed that some leftovers he'd heated up one day were cold even after being "heated" for five minutes. Later that day we went to make some popcorn, and instead of popping the bag just got a big scorch mark in the middle of it. Thinking this was a fluke, we tried to microwave another bag, but the microwave wouldn't turn on. The outside of the microwave was REALLY hot. We removed it from the (wood) cabinet where it lived, let it cool off for an hour, and then it turned back on and it seemed to heat water fine. I'm sure the not-turning-back-on bit was a safety override for when this overheats....but at that point we were spooked by just how hot it had gotten. We called it a loss, cut the power cord off, and gave it to someone to use in their kids' play kitchen. Four years of use isn't GREAT, but after looking at reviews for other microwaves this size.....it just seems like they're all hit or miss, even ones from name brands like GE. Original review: Super cute microwave that just fit inside the space that we need. Our shelf is 12.5" deep, and this is 12.7" deep so it sticks out just a tad, but that's ok. It seems to heat things really well (faster than the bigger microwave that we used to have) and the defrost function really seems to defrost quickly, evenly, and without pre-cooking the food. I really like the knob that you spin to set the time (so cute!), and the 30 second push button is perfect for quickly adding time. I thought we might feel annoyed about having to turn the microwave ON each time we used it, but it's really not an issue. You do have to remember to clear any remaining time, however, if you want it to power off automatically. We've gotten tons of compliments on the look of this microwave. I wouldn't call it "mint green" however. It's definitely turquoise.

***UPDATE*** it’s been 6 years and we still love our little microwave. If it dies, it will be immediately replaced with the exact same model. So far, my family is adjusting nicely to our petite and adorable microwave. Everyone who has come to our house has complimented it. The turquoise color goes great with my vintage decor. There is only about .5" of space around the glass turntable (which is 10") so make sure your plates can fit in there. It’s tiny but it works for us. If you regularly microwave plates that are larger than 10", you do not want this one. The microwave seems to heating just fine for us. It takes a little longer than our last one, but were are only talking like a minute more at most for most things. I really like the control buttons and I am getting used the the power saver function of it.

This is a super cute little microwave!! I decided it wasn't powerful enough for my every day use, but I couldn't bear to return it, so I put it in our 1958 classic camper to take on trips! Pros: Great retro mint green color Looks great Cool dials Good quality Handle opens and closes securely - doesn't move the microwave when you pull it Doesn't take up a lot of space - will fit on most any counter Would be great for dorm rooms or apartments Cons Kind of small inside, but most plates still fit 700 watts just isn't enough power to heat things very quickly Not great for defrosting - takes much longer than a higher wattage microwave My only complaint is that it's not quite powerful enough for my daily use. But it's so cute that I didn't want to return it, so I think it will work great in our camper. I would recommend this for people who occasionally reheat coffee or use a microwave to melt ingredients for baked goods. I wouldn't recommend it for people who use a microwave daily to reheat family meals or defrost frozen foods.

Me gusto mucho el tamaño, dimensiones y además la apariencia externa del horno así como el color. Si lo recomiendo

Oh how I love this little microwave! My previous microwave died, and I was looking for a replacement. I couldn’t figure out this whole strange system of microwave language, like how you are supposed to measure the cubic Inches or feet or whatever. I found this little guy, and figured it sounded like the right size. I told a family member about purchasing this product, and he freaked out, saying that it didn’t have enough power (he said this in microwave language I’m not joking, it’s actually a thing!) and that it would take me three times as long to heat up anything in my microwave. He also told me it would be small enough to fit into a doll house. Or something along those lines. The truth, it’s a little bit smaller than my previous microwave. I’m told the colour is beautiful and it looks absolutely adorable, especially since I purchased a toaster that matches almost exactly. I typically only use it to reheat Things or cook things for a very short amount of time. Something that took two minutes in my previous microwave might take 2 1/2 in this one, but not always. Calling all blind people, this microwave is Surprisingly accessible. My previous microwave had 10 billion different ways you could cook a potato, as well as options for microwaving all sorts of things that probably don’t belong in microwaves. Navigating a keypad with so many buttons that are all flat against the surface, and not raised, can be a mega challenge when you can’t see. That’s why I love this microwave! All of the buttons are tactile. It’s a retro design, So there are fewer options and all of them are accessed through push buttons and knobs. Happy microwaving!

El horno es hermoso y funciona de maravilla! Únicamente hay que tomar en cuenta que es pequeño y no caben cosas medianas o grandes, del resto, funciona muy bien.

I love this little microwave. It is small and doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles, but it fits a dinner place, a bag of popcorn and does everything I need it to do. It looks and feels like a quality product, from the handles, the knob, etc. Best of all, it is so cute. I don't think I have ever said that about a microwave. Love the power off feature too.

We’ve only had it a short time but it’s as cute as a button on the counter. Despite the low wattage it cooks pretty fast ( baked a potato in 5 minutes). Because it is a zero power draw microwave don’t expect a clock display as it turns itself off completely after use. That’s fine because a permanent digital clock would spoil the retro vibe. If you’re hesitating about choosing the mint green option, don’t. It’s a delightful pop of color on the kitchen counter and it’s small so it’s not overwhelming.
