Galanz Retro Microwave Oven

While the expensive stainless steel, convection oven, and overhead stove vent, microwave, lost its microwave function everything else works. That likely means the Magnetron has failed. It could mean the diode has failed too, but either case has too much labor involved to repair. I looked at having a new one installed, but those big box stores that do it require a specific vent size and refuse to do any modifications, so you can be left with a mess dealing with contractors. The good news is except for the microwaves themselves every other function works. I can even use the convection oven feature if needed. Still, I need the convenience of a microwave. Thinking about it a bit I remembered I have a large countertop oven on my prep table. This particular model fits perfectly on top. I bought a heat-resistant mat to prevent slippage of the microwave feet and installed it out of the box in five minutes. While much smaller and less powerful than my old unit, this fits most of the things I use a microwave for. Heating water, melting butter, small frozen dinners, reheating pizza and sandwiches, it does them all fine. The price of this was fantastic as it cost roughly one tenth of the cost of my old unit, and less than the trip charge a local repair facility would charge me to evaluate a repair estimate. I like the retro look and the simple controls although there is a bit of a learning curve. My old unit had mostly intuitive buttons, so selecting power levels and presets was easy. I never bothered with the manual on my old unit, but I've had to access this one a few times for the special timed cook, reheat, defrost and other settings. It's not overly complex, but you do need some information. I laminated a card with the basic settings I'll use and attached it with a magnet to my fridge. That should help. despite less power most things I've used it with cook nearly as fast and as complete as the old unit. Recommended.

Looks great, we love the red! Works fine

Looks and works great! Intuitive controls make it easy to get used to.

I recently went traveling to a place where I'd be for several weeks, but it had no microwave. So I went ahead and ordered this Galanz model. Advantages: Not super-high power draw (900w rated), so not much chance of tripping breakers. Just big enough for a dinner plate. The child controls can be disabled, although the instructions they provided for doing it weren't accurate. It certainly cooked well enough for my purposes, and while it was loud when it first turns on, this quiets almost immediately to a low level. For me, it was a fantastic choice to serve as a "travel microwave", and I got it super cheap here. I also quite like how with a single knob control, you quickly start an automatic 30 sec cycle, but if you turn the knob during this, the overall time increments as high as you like. This got me thinking that it might be a good microwave oven for those without much space and who perhaps are a little technology-challenged. "Put food in. Close door. Push button. Turn to the time you want. Wait until the beep." Very simple. One complaint: The black text on the red background is almost unreadable. Therefore I have to suggest getting a lighter color, unless they change the design.

Best microwave I have purchased in awhile! Love the vibrant red, and retro look. It’s a perfect size, not too big or small and very easy to use. I also really appreciate the child safety unlock/lock button. Highly recommend. Great value for the price as well! Has good power, but doesn’t overheat or burn items.

I purchased and returned it. Advertised as NO CHILD SAFETY LOCK. IT HAS A CHILD SAFETY LOCK! It locked after I set the time. It locked later when my adult daughter attempted to open it. It locked when I tried to heat some water for tea. No way to disable it. Returned. Ridiculous feature that does not work properly. I have no idea how my children grew up safely in a house with a microwave that didn't lock. Now that I have arthritis in my hands, I am to be forced to have a product that is dangerous to seniors? Does it have a child lock? No, the Galanz Retro Countertop Microwave does not have a child safety lock. However, I should mention that the customer reviews raise reliability concerns—many report the unit stopping working within 6 months to a year, which could be risky in a household with a young child. For your household with a toddler, the BLACK+DECKER microwave I mentioned is a better choice—it has a dedicated child safety lock and receives more consistent reliability To add insult to injury, I had to struggle to get it to the UPS store to get rid of the hazard. I do not recommend to anyone without or with a child for that matter. This Child Safety lock is unsafe in my estimation.

Cute and fun on the counter 🕺 it is compact and efficient. Perfect for small, quick dishes.

Love the color, adds a touch of 'happy'. It works great, doesn't take up a lot of space, feels solid. Glad I ordered it.

So after my son totalled my old microwave oven by setting a cup of noodles on fire, I was forced to buy a new one. I instantly fell in love with this beautiful blue microwave by Galanz. It looks stunning on the counter and works beautifully. I have placed a full dinner plate inside to give a better perspective of how large the inside is. I had considered the 0.7 model but it was just too small. One reviewer mentioned difficulty seeing the black words on the red version of this microwave...I'm so glad I saw that review. It helped me to pick the blue. I love the dial on the bottom. You just keep turning it until you have reached your desired cook time. You then push the start button to start the cooking process. So easy! I am not impressed with all of the preset buttons that many microwaves have that I would never use. This one is clean and simple without all the presets. The door also feels really sturdy. I can't recommend this product enough!!!

We bought this microwave for my Mother-in-law for Christmas as everything in her kitchen is red. Works great, it’s a good size and it’s easy to use!

Super classy, retro aesthetic. The red is super vibrant!! Works great, it’s definitely more powerful than what I had before. Big enough to do everything we need it to. Well built, easy to clean interior, relatively quiet and the print is bold and white so easy to read.

Llego antes de tiempo y perfectamente empacado Más hermoso que la imagen

Padrísimo es el mejor horno de microondas que pude haber visto en este mundo realmente increíble 😁😁
