Such mixed reviews. I need a microwave that is 20 L x 14 D max &amp; 700+ watts. Would those who purchased this unit buy it again? Other Suggestions?

I have been using this microwave for a while. I am so happy about it. It is simple and easy to use. It's easy to clean. There is no unnecessary bottoms. It is working well. If it broken for some reason, I will buy it again.

I have a very tiny kitchen, with very limited counter spaces the microwave needed to sit in a small utility table. I would have liked.a little larger one. The dimensions are a little smaller than stated, they 18 W 12 1/2 D 11 H.My problem was the first one that was sent to me didn't work, I had to return it. I'm am elderly so that turned out to be a real hassle for me. The second one ,so far, works very well. It's a bit more tinny than I would have liked. Hope this helps with your decision.

EDITING TO SAY THAT THIS MICROWAVE COMBO OVEN HAS JUST DIED after about 3 months...DON'T BUY THIS IF YOU ARE SMART!!!

What wattage is your microwave? Mine is 1000 watts and I did 4 minutes (I think). I have not used them this year yet. Be sure to remove the cover before microwaving. The microwave part will be very warm. Handle with care - use pot holder if necessary.

Hi. Yes, this is the same thing. I didn't measure mine, but the Sears website clearly states the exterior dimensions as 23.87" wi x 13.53" hi x 19.81" dp. The unit weighs 39 lbs. I bought an after-market kit to make it built-in to my cabinetry, and it looks great. So far, I am quite happy with this microwave. I would recommend it.

GE Product information says it is 1800 watts. Seems rather high to me, perhaps check with GE Customer Service to verify. I have owned several over-the-range microwaves, most were 1500.

I'm not home to answer but it's seriously the smallest microwave I've ever seen and I believe there's only one smaller available on amazon for over 3x the price. I know that doesn't help but it's tiny and works VERY well We've bought one and a friend and they both work perfectly.

You should be able to lower the power of your microwave, no? My microwave is a 1200W as well and I just use it on max. No problems.

The Width, Height, Depth of this microwave roughly the following. OUTSIDE: W= 17.75" , H= 10 3/4" , D= 13 1/2". INSIDE: W= 11 1/2" , H= 7 1/2" , D= 10". Carousel must be positioned exactly in place or it will make thumping noise and not function. I purchased this microwave to replace in rental condo. I personally would not want it for daily use. I'm use to my larger hood mount unit. That's just my lifestyle opinion. Others may feel it to be okay. Especially if they don't use it daily.

I have purchase two of the refrigerators, I use them in vintage RVs, and have not experienced any shipping problems, as yet! I also purchase one of their microwaves and had to return it due to shipping damages. The good news is that the new microwave arrived before I had a chance to ship back the damaged one. My advice would be to fully examine the refrigerator, including plugging it in, upon arrival. If there is any problems ship it back pronto!

I could never use that option because of the sparks. The microwave will only last a couple of years. I had major issues with it....consider a different brand.

It wouldn't run mine. I had to return it. I have a 1000 w modified square wave inverter that does run my microwave. However, it takes longer to cook things.

The microwave works perfectly on "shore" power and is currently working on a 1000w Modified Square Wave inverter. It's noisy and takes longer to cook, but other than that it's fine. I've been using microwave ovens on msw inverters for over 20 years and haven't had one fail yet. I spent 1 month in Alaska with this setup and used the microwave multiple times per day without a problem. I believe the 1000 watt msw inverter is able to run the microwave where the pure sine wave will not is due to the "surge capacity" of the msw. Both inverters are drawing about 100 amps at the 12v source. This means a cheap 600 or 700 watt Wal-Mart microwave is actually drawing 1200 watts, allowing for inefficiency in the inverter. I've owned lots of inverters and there is a HUGE difference in what they can actually run. Pure sine wave inverters all seem to be overrated. I have two 1500 watt msw inverters right now. One is a Cobra and the other is branded, "Trisonic". The weird, never-heard-of Chinese brand, "Trisonic" will run my worm drive skill saw, and the Cobra immediately shuts down with an overload condition. Sorry I went on for so long, but I hope this is helpful to someone.

Cant answer now because it is in the shop for the third time. Great microwave except a piece of trim the repetitively cracks and has to be replaced.

Sorry but I don't currently have the microwave...left it with my old roommate because the place I moved into had a built in one. I believe it's already set for full power, you just put the time in and hit start

I would not buy this microwave. CR listed it as a Best Buy. After 14 months it stopped working. We purchased a base model Whirlpool and are very happy with it. Panel very easy to press and it does have a continual beep reminder. After a recommendation form an Appliance Repair person, we only buy Whirlpool. They are made better and are lest costly to repair.

My guess is that it's defective. The one I had was; it quit working just over 6 months after I bought it. I recycled it as the trash that it was and bought a different brand. Based on my experience I would never buy another Hamilton Beach microwave again.
