- Is the Farberware FMG16SS big enough for a family?
- Yes. The 1.6 cu ft cavity fits large dinner plates, casserole dishes and a whole chicken. It is one of the larger countertop sizes before you move to over-the-range models.
- Does it have sensor cooking?
- No. You set time and power level yourself. Rivals at this size often add sensor cooking, so expect to check food and add time as needed.
- How does it compare with inverter microwaves?
- Inverter models deliver steadier low power, which suits melting and simmering. The FMG16SS uses standard power cycling, so low settings are less even but high-power reheating is comparable.
- What is the defrost like?
- Defrost is time-based rather than weight- or sensor-driven. You enter the time and power, and the turntable helps rotate food for more even thawing.
- What comes in the box?
- The microwave, a glass turntable and roller ring, and the manual. No trim kit is included, since this is a countertop model.
- Will it fit under kitchen cabinets?
- Check clearance above the unit, because the 1.6 cu ft body is tall for a countertop microwave. Leave room for the side-hinged door to swing open.
