- Is 1000 W enough for a microwave?
- Yes. 1000 W is mid-range: faster than 700-watt compact models for reheating and defrosting, though below the 1200 W and up units used for heavy cooking.
- Does it have a turntable?
- Yes. It has a glass turntable that rotates food for more even heating. Hand-wash the plate and keep the roller ring clean.
- What can I defrost in it?
- The defrost setting is meant for frozen meat, poultry and bread. Check and turn food partway through, since basic defrost cycles are not weight-sensing.
- How much counter space does it need?
- Plan for about 22 inches wide and 19 inches deep, plus clearance at the sides and back for ventilation. Measure your counter before buying.
- Does it have sensor cooking or inverter power?
- No. It uses conventional power with dial and button controls, so you set the time yourself. Inverter and sensor models cost more but cook more evenly.
- What is in the box?
- The microwave, a glass turntable plate and roller ring, and the manual. No trim kit or extra accessories are included.
