Farberware 1100W 2.2 cu ft Countertop Microwave Oven With Smart Sensor, LED Lighting, Child Lock - For Apartments and Dorms

My wife and I hadn't bought a countertop microwave oven for many years. After reading several reviews, we decided on this model and are extremely happy with it's performance. The cook time is incredibly fast and even. The oven runs quiet and has a pleasant signal when cooking is complete. The lock button is a good feature with grandchildren in the home and is not a bother to press when needed. Easy to clean too!! We strongly recommend this oven.

Arrived on Nov 3, 2024. Worked good but today (Mar 15, 2025) set for 3 min ran a few seconds and died. Nothing works, or even lights up. Just over 4 mo old and it no longer works. Waste of money for what it cost and how short of time it lasted.

This microwave is amazing! So big and sturdy. The Amazon info for. Do it justice. We were so impressed when this item arrived. Good value and quality.

Good value for the money until we found out it has exactly ONE YEAR LIFE SPAN. The trouble shooting is "plug it into another outlet" nope still DeaD. It's perfect for what we needed but at this price it's better to go with something super cheap from Walmart instead. If I knew I would be paying $$$ for something to last EXACTLY A YEAR. And fail IMMEDIATELY after the return window. Well. I won't be doing as much business through Amazon anymore. At least Walmart gives you a year return window exactly and not cut you off two weeks short ( we didn't even receive the microwave on Sept 4th 2022 it was a few days after that .. ) Guess it will go out on the street with a free sign. Maybe someone can use it for spare parts. Looks brand new. Is still very clean. No power surges over night and it's just dead for no other reason than I think this is what it was designed to do. Thanks for being super expensive and then failing immediately after you didn't have to keep working. Glad we live in the disposal age where all our money means nothing. I have a special needs child and I often need to heat things up but I guess today we will have to use the actual oven and increase our energy bills. Awesome. Can't afford a new one so we are literally up the creak. Thought a good name brand like this would come with better support than "did you try plugging it into another outlet?" .

OUCH. My Sharp 2.2 1000 watt gave up it's ghost after 22 yrs, so acquired this product few days back, and now see it is ""40 dollars cheaper"". Wish I could of waited. I wonder how long this one will last. Instructions did not show how to set up clock. Was like the Sharp---push clock, set time, push clock again. Buttons require fairly hard push to activate, but no big problem. Seems solid. This is important, yes look at size, but instructions on manual say give 3 inch clearance on sides and back, and 12 inch on top. So need to add this. Machine is quiet. I followed instructions on booklet for microwave potatoes---did two, but would have hoped sensor would say done, but had to add another minute. Did great with one potato. Of course have not investigated all the features, such as defrost, popcorn, etc. I do wish it had Inverter feature. This microwave turns off and on at lower than level 10. Here is just a preference. If one wants to take the plate out to clean, it is kind of a pain to put back in place. When I put it together, the device that turns the plate has several diamond shaped areas that must match the plate exactly. Apparently there might be a way to turn off the system where ever minute or so the machine will beep to let you know the cycle is complete, but have not figured that out. Just annoys me to hear it. But appears to only do this 3 or 4 times. I have a fear that the push latch open feature will malfunction. I have read where other microwaves this broke and person could NOT open microwave. Lets hope this does not happen. Personal preference, I like the blue light over that of the white light of the Sharp I had. Seems to be quit powerful in cooking things quickly. Have did home microwave leak test (place your cell phone in microwave, close door, call that phone and if hear you have leaks) and passed the test. Could not hear my cell phone. If anything changes as to my likes and dislikes will put in later.

This is my second order for this microwave. I enjoyed the first one so much

We got the 2.2ft refurbished because we were on the hunt for a new microwave because ours was almost 10 years old & needed to be retired. We also didn’t want to get stuck with a dinky little Walmart special for 80 bucks so… When we saw this one on major sale as a new-used refurbished microwave at half the price…. Or rather, the same price as the 1.1 cubic foot sized microwave, I thought, why not? Well, first off, this bad boy is MASSIVE. Nobody has any business with a microwave this big if you’re not maintaining a sizable restaurant. I’d look at this in a small family home such as my own & wonder just exactly what (or who) they’re putting in that thing. We were struck when we first opened the box. My Pomeranian & Jack Russell mix were all excited about the new thing on the floor & BOTH climbed in like it was their new home - that’s how big it is! Of course we promptly removed them from it before placing it on the counter & plugging it in. No spicy puppy nuggets for us today. But you could probably cook a decent sized Turkey & all the holiday fixings’ in one go inside this thing. Or use it to crawl inside & hide from a burglar if you’re small like me. Well worth the price already & doubles as a home defense safe room. It also cooked nearly twice as fast/hot as our old microwave, which I’m assuming is a standard 1.1 cubic foot size & 900 watts. This thing is a beast, if it actually was used/refurbished, I couldn’t tell because it arrived in perfect condition. We’ve been using it for a month or so now for just about everything & I have no complaints. The lighting is nice (our old one went out years ago so we couldn’t see siht. But with with this you can see inside very clearly. It also has a reminder “ding” If you haven’t opened the door after it finished. I like the many pre-sets but Will say that the popcorn one is too strong for any popcorn we’ve made since buying it, so keep a close eye on it or deal with the wrath of toddlers for burnt kernels’. If this gets us even half the time our old one did it would be worth every penny. Highly recommend, would but again.

I used a different brand microwave for the last 5-10 years, each microwave lasted about 5 years. I decided to try a different brand, so I bought the Farberware because it was the same size as our other micrwaves 2.2 cu ft. A new appliance takes a bit of getting used to, as the controls are different than your previous one. At first I didn't like this microwave because you have to press the cook time button before entering the cooking time, because the first six digits on the number pad are quick start times (1 min, 2 min, 3 min etc). That is the only feature I didn't like. The start button is automatically 30 seconds, which I use more than any other time. The memory button is easy to set up to input specific times. Simply pressing the 1 on the number pad starts the microwave for 1 minute without pressing a start button, which is great. The microwave cooks incredibly even - way better than any microwave I've had in the past. I like the darker interior and this microwave is QUIET!!! Definitely a 5 star microwave and a definite recommend...

Nice big microwave. Quiet. Been good so far

I am extremely disappointed in this Microwave. I live in Sydney Australia and I purchased this item from Amazon AU. Therefore I expected it to be Aussie Compliant. But it has a foreign electrical plug and every time I press the START button it trips my circuit breaker and switches off. It is un-usable. Obviously I will need to return it and that entails a whole other world of hassle and annoyance. What a joke. Time wasted and expense not to mention the endless reading you need to do and follow to get a simple refund. Not happy at all!!!

just love it it works great
