Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Amana 1.4 cu. ft. Countertop Microwave, AMC5143AAW, White
Customer Review: Definitely worth 5 stars
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a fantastic microwave.
I bought it for my boyfriend about 1.5 years ago as a "sort of" gift. (I'd insisted he get rid of his old one that was leaking light and probably radiation and replaced it with a cheapie extra that was around the house, only to find the replacement was peeling paint and leaking water every time he used it. So I felt a little obligated to get him a better one).
The Amana is lightyears ahead of any other microwave, in my opinion. There have been no problems with it at all. He doesn't cook pot roasts in it but does cook dishes such as jasmine rice and whole artichokes and finds it handy for reheating his coffee and melting butter too.
While neither of us can claim to have used all the functions (does anybody really ever take the time to figure all that out?) it works beautifully, doesn't leak, is easy to clean and has been reliable. He likes that he can set it so it doesn't beep every time you push a button.
The size of this model is nice too, in that you can fit a large bowl, casserole dish or plate in there but it doesn't hog all the space on the countertop. In his case, that means the coffeepot fits next to his sink too. Plus it doesn't eat up so much power that you're going to blow a fuse.
My own microwave recently died after I realized its wiring must be melting and unplugged it. It was a fairly new one that my teenage son left when he got his own place and I'm really thankful that the burning didn't happen when he wasn't watching it, or when my other son was home "cooking" on his own.
When this one gets replaced, you betcha it's going to be with an Amana.
My only problem with the Amana was I couldn't find a local dealer who sold this size countertop model and had to order it from A.J. Madison in New York. It was pretty expensive to ship. But I'd do it again instead of buying another junk model from a local dealer.
Update, July 2009: I recently found this model can be ordered online through Home Depot, with free shipping. Woo-hoo!
If you're debating between an Amana and another model, I'd definitely recommend the Amana.
