How does Sensor Cook work?

A humidity sensor detects when food is releasing steam and sets the remaining time for the chosen preset. You pick the food type and start; the oven adjusts the cook time itself.

Is 1.6 cu ft big enough for a family?

Yes for most households. It fits large dinner plates, casserole dishes and big bowls, which is more room than compact 0.7 to 1.0 cu ft models offer.

Does it have convection or air fry?

No. It is a microwave-only unit with 10 power levels, defrost, timer and lockout. It does not brown or crisp food.

Which way does the door open?

The door is hinged on the left and swings open to the left. Check your counter layout so the door has room to open.

Where does the vent sit?

The back vent means the rear needs clearance from the wall. Leave space behind the unit for airflow.

Can children be kept from changing settings?

Yes. The control lockout disables the keypad until it is unlocked.

Our take on the Hamilton Beach 1.6 Cu Ft 1100 W Sensor Cook Countertop Microwave Oven

This is a 1.6 cu ft countertop microwave with 1100 W of power, a stainless steel finish and a left-swing door. Its main feature is Sensor Cook with 7 presets, which uses a humidity sensor to set cooking time instead of you guessing. It also has 10 power levels, defrost, a timer and a control lockout. It suits households that want a large-capacity microwave for reheating, defrosting and simple preset cooking without paying for convection or inverter features. Against similarly sized rivals, it gives more interior room and power than most compact models but lacks the browning and air-fry modes found on higher-end countertop units.
