Customer Review: Not sure yet, but there are issues
Summary: 2 Stars
Bought this at BJ's in NJ in Oct 2009. Seemed like a decent product for $99. I usually keep the box until I know it works, but the old one was completely dead so I chucked it. I kninda regret that. Now, after a month of use, we have had the 15 amp breaker blow like 4 times. The first time, we had heated up several dishes of food with no cover over them. The last thing was a small pitcher of water. unlike another reviewer on here who said that heating water produced no vapor build up, the heated, uncovered water released SOOOOO much vapor that the time display on the keypad fogged over and the breaker blew. We have since been covering the food with a microwave proof cover and the water with wax paper as suggested with somewhat beter results. The breaker still blew, but not nearly as much fogging of the display. This unit does draw a lot of power. The only other thing plugged into its outlet is a small sony boombox type radio. If it is on when the microwave is on for more than 5 minutes, the break blows. Going to try a 20 amp breaker to see if the problem goes away. I have to say, this is the first microwave I have had that seems to have poor ventilation. Most blow hot air out the top or back with some force, but not this one. Seems odd. My final veridict is still out on this unit until I see if the higher breaker works. I still think that the poor ventilation is a problem that would make me not recommend this product, though.
