Comment:
Worked ok for a few months then started shutting down. Read reviews by others that they had same problem. Called customer service. They kept asking about my outlets and if there had been any power outages. We did have one during some heavy wind. That voids the warranty. Never mind others who have had the same problems did not have power outages. This applies to all<br />Oster products.

Comment:
I use this microwave mostly for reheating food. This 1200 watt unit replaces a much more expensive 2 year old 1200 watt unit that stopped working. The no-frills Oster is very easy to clean, attractive and controls are straighforward. My major complaint is that I highly doubt this is 1200 watts. My last 1200 watt microwave would boil 1 cup of water in 1.25 minutes. The Oster takes nearly three, similar to the 700 watt microwave at work. My minor complaint is that the beeper is obnoxiously loud and annoying, so much so that I can hear it outside the house in winter. Despite these two deficiencies, I do think this Oster microwave is a good value for the price and I would recommend it.
