Haden 700 Watt 0.7 Cubic Foot Microwave Oven with Digital Controls, Defrost, and Instant Start Countertop Small Appliance, Putty/Chrome

The ivory/white is really a true CREAM, which is actually what I wanted! – so I am happy! I needed a cream microwave to match my Frigidaire “retro” fridge because Frigidaire doesn’t make a matching microwave … well “cream” is hard to find – even in the retro styles. I think I only found two choices, but I didn’t care for the look of them as much. I really liked the look of this microwave, but I thought the white would clash, so I ordered the putty color first. I didn’t think it would be exact, but in the seller’s stock photos, it looked creamy(ish) to me, and it looked like it might ‘blend’. Well, when I got it, it was significantly darker than it appears in the listing. The putty color is a great shade, don’t get me wrong, but it was way too dark for me (see first photo). I then read reviews from people who said the white was more of a cream, so I thought,”Do I dare take a chance?” On some websites, the color is called ivory, so I expected it to be off-white, but I still feared it would be a cooler and lighter tone than I wanted/needed, but when I got it, it’s perfect! And I personally would call it cream over ivory. Will it be perfect for you? Not if you have a stark-white kitchen. If you want a true cream, then yes. First picture shows the microwave on top of my Frigidaire “cream-colored” retro fridge. I know photos can be deceiving, and I noticed a difference between the stock photos and each of the buyers’ photos, but how do you know which is accurate (compared to how it looks in person)?! I believe my second picture is an accurate depiction of the true coloration. Hope this helps!Regarding all the negative comments regarding the weak wattage, well, yes, 700 watts does not compare to a full-size 1400 watt appliance, but these small microwaves don’t usually come that strong, and if you need the small size, you’ll have to adjust. People said that they had to heat up their food for 2-5 times the usual duration, and that the food still came out lukewarm. My meal called for a two minute cycle, so I figured I’d need to leave it in four minutes (at least), but to be safe, I put it in for three, and tested it. It came out steaming hot! I feel that’s perfectly acceptable, especially since this is not my everyday (in-the-kitchen) microwave. Maybe there are faulty machines out there, but mine seems to work well.Regarding the ease of use, I took off one-star, because, yes, it’s a different system than we are used to here in the US. There are no number buttons, and you need to use a combo of the buttons and the dial to choose your cycle and your desired time, but it’s EASY-ENOUGH to learn! I watched a You-Tube video which simply explained the process and gave a few quick tips. Watch it. You’ll be fine. Just a slight learning curve.It’s still brand new for me, so we’ll see how it fares over time, and if it lasts, but for now, yes, I’d recommend it. Plus it’s just so dang cute. ?EDIT: A year and a half later and still going strong. No problems, and heat up time seems close to my normal full-size microwave. Still love the looks, and it’s works great.
