Emerson MWR7020BL Retro Compact Countertop Microwave Oven with Button Control, LED Display, 700W 5 Power Levels, 8 Auto Menus, Glass Turntable and Child Safe Lock, 0.7, Thunderbird Blue

This Emerson retro compact microwave is the perfect size for my needs! It doesn’t take up too much counter space, which is great for a smaller kitchen, yet it still has enough power for everyday use. I mainly use it for popcorn and quick snacks, and it works perfectly every time — heats evenly and quickly without burning.The retro design is also a fun touch; it looks stylish instead of bulky, and the controls are simple to use. It’s lightweight enough to move if needed but still feels sturdy and well made.If you’re looking for a microwave that’s compact, reliable, and great for small kitchens, offices, dorm rooms, or just for snacks and popcorn like me, this one is a great choice!

This microwave is as beautiful as it is functional! The aesthetic design blends seamlessly into my kitchen, giving it a sleek and modern look. The minimalist buttons and soft curves make it stand out from traditional bulky microwaves.It’s not just about looks, though—the performance is fantastic! It heats evenly, is super easy to use, and the pre-set functions are a lifesaver. I also love the compact size, which fits perfectly on my counter without taking up too much space.If you’re looking for a microwave that combines style and efficiency, this one is a total game-changer. Highly recommend for anyone who values both form and function!

Adorable and compact. Exactly the look I was going for in my kitchen. The only downside is that you have to press the pause/cancel button to release the door to open it.

I really like the color, style, and small footprint on my countertop. The buttons aren’t labeled so it takes some time to memorize which button does what. You also have to press a button to release the lock for the door to open.

Update on 5/6/25 - Taking away stars... sadly.It never cooks evenly at all. The settings are a pain. Am actually debating on returning it and buying something else.I do love the appearance of this microwave! Modern yet appears "vintage". However, its functions... are quite confusing.Its much smaller than my previous microwave, which took over most of an entire corner in my kitchen. Very bulky. Am very happy for the smaller size.It is also quieter on cook times. Though, the end signal is a bit loud. But, not terribly so.My main concern is that the functions are very confusing at first. And, even still now, I need some practice.The "Start" button is 30 seconds. It will only allow 3x press to make 1m 30s. Then, seemingly won't allow more time than that. I use that most often for now. (A week or so owning it.)The presets built in are very hard to translate, they also do not give what amounts of time each setting is on the instruction manual.A1-A8. Used by turning the dial knob only. The basic cooks like popcorn, reheat, and beverage at the top of that list. I have yet to remember each one as needed, so it's pinned above the microwave. These settings do seem to work decently when you choose the correct one for what you are doing.Defrost button then its D1-D3. However, the "weights" for each level are also confusing. I have had a hard time using this setting at all.I have plans to make a basic Menu above my microwave for my family. They really haven't touched it yet. Its daunting in a way. I believe that may help everyone most after having the same microwave for almost a decade, then turning towards this slightly more complex option.I do like it a lot, but the functionality is top priority when it comes to having a family full of children who need to be able to set it and forget it. Otherwise we will have messes on our hands.Its not a bad buy, just be prepared to have to relearn microwaving if you haven't bought a modern microwave in a while like us.

I love this little microwave. No electronic nonsense and settings to fuss with and it heats food perfectly. One minor complaint, the power setting can only be changed in increments of twenty (20%, 40%, etc), but I just use the 60% setting for things that need to cook at 50% and it’s fine. I still give it five stars for cuteness, functionality and ease of use!

LOVE IT EASY TO OPERATE AND IT WORKS GREAT

Been great, had it for over a month and I love it, easy to use
