Customer Review: Do Not Buy This Microwave
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this microwave about a year ago at Target after my other microwave died (after over 18 years- now THAT is quality). First thing I noticed about this new microwave was that it moves around on your countertop (like when you shut the door the microwave itself moves) which made me not too thrilled. But I told myself it wasn't a big deal.
Then I noticed that no matter what I cooked and for how long or little it always sounded like the food itself was exploding. I told myself that this microwave just has more power.
Then anytime I tried to make risotto or any rice again no matter how long or short the time was it didn't cook right. The liquid always boiled over and the rice would always be dry (cooked in same way and in same container that I did with the last microwave). Again I told myself this microwave just has more power and I will have to change how I cook risotto.
But now here is the big thing - it now makes this weird percolating sound (like a coffee maker) and the kicker? It is when I am not using the microwave. Right now as I am typing it is making this odd noise like a coffee maker. I now leave it unplugged if I am not using it just to be safe.
Again this is at the most a year old. It should not be making weird noises with normal use. Again I had my last microwave for over 18 years and had no issues until it died.
Now I am terrified it is going to catch on fire (go ahead and google it and you will see how that this microwave apparently likes to catch on fire). I can't afford a new microwave right now or anytime in the near future. It has been too long to take back to Target and I am definitely not willing to shell out more money to send it back to Emerson.
I would definitely stay clear from this microwave it is cheaply made and seems to be a fire hazard. Also as others have said it is very loud. You will wake others in the house while using it because it is so loud. Why companies have to make their items so extremely loud is beyond me. The only good thing I can say about this microwave is that it is a pretty shade of red.
