Retro dream
Excellent design and easy controls. Looks like the kind of thing a 50's housewife would have bought herself as a band-aid for all encompassing depression & we love to see it. It's a little louder than I'd like but otherwise excellent.

Cute and works well, but the size feels too small
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Nostalgia Retro Microwave Oven is definitely a cute addition to any kitchen — I love the vintage design and how it adds personality to the space. It heats food quickly and has enough functions for everyday use. However, the interior capacity feels smaller than I expected. While it works fine for simple tasks, it’s not the best option if you need to reheat larger plates or cook in bigger batches. Overall, it’s functional and stylish, but I personally prefer something with a bit more space.

Cutest microwave I’ve ever seen
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m absolutely in love with the appearance of this microwave. From the packaging to the microwave itself, it’s really the cutest microwave I’ve ever owned. The retro blue color is so vibrant yet not too loud, so appealing to the eyes. It’s definitely on the larger side, so if you have a small countertop like myself, maybe a kitchen cart would be a good option for it. But it works really well, heats up quickly. I love it.

Cute but not powerful
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Such a cute cute cute design! Love the color options and retro details. It is definitely a very basic appliance from a power and functionality standpoint. It reminds me of the microwaves in the cafeteria back in college, based on how big it is and how well it works. I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review.

No real power
This is a very cool looking microwave, however when compared to my current 1000w microwave it takes twice as long to heat/cook.

Solid microwave oven
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This microwave is so cute and I never thought I would say that about an appliance. The capacity is bigger and roomier inside than I expected. I feel like cook time on average has gone up due to lower wattage but not so much that’s it’s no longer energy efficient. Easy to use and no louder than any other microwave

Super Cute Mid-Range Microwave
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the cutest design and I love the Retro Style. It would be a great microwave for a college student. I had a little trouble with the door catching when i was opening it, but after rubbing the area it worked fine. It has a lock on after using it which is something I haven't seen before. The express button is super quick to use.

Sleek, modern and effective.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This microwave greatly exceeded expectations. I like the spin knob for making selections vs a dozen buttons on the front. Very sleek appearance, standard noise levels and easy to operate. The only minor dislike is the auto lock after cycle completion. There may be a way to disable this function, but I have not looked into it as it's not enough of an inconvenience. However, I could see someone accidentally pulling it off a counter upon completion, but unlikely due to weight of product. Overall, very happy with this microwave!

Functional, cute and retro
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This microwave is not only super cute but also functions well! I found it easy to operate. I like that it has an express button with preset cooking times. I like the retro feel that the selection dial offers. I started off by cooking a microwaveable meal and it came out perfectly when cooked according to the meals instructions. I love the aqua color because it adds a cheerful pop of color to the kitchen. The only thing that took some getting used to was having to hit the stop/cancel button in order to unlock the door when the food is cooked.

Great Retro Look with Solid Performance!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely adore the vintage charm of this microwave! It perfectly adds a nostalgic touch to my kitchen. Its compact size is ideal for smaller spaces, and the classic dial controls give it an old-school vibe. It heats food evenly and handles basic tasks like reheating and defrosting quite well. The only slight downside is that the power level isn’t as strong as some modern microwaves, so heating takes a bit longer. But overall, if you’re seeking a stylish microwave with reliable performance, this is an excellent option!

Very cute microwave
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This microwave is very cute. The preprogrammed settings can be a bit overwhelming at first, but they’re pretty intuitive. For example, there are three options for microwave popcorn which cooked our popcorn perfectly. It has an automatic lock feature that was easy enough to disable.

A bold, vintage statement, with a modern interface
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Nostalgia Retro Microwave in Red delivers both style and function. Its glossy, deep red finish and chrome accents bring a 1950s vibe, making it a standout piece. The digital LED display blends old-school charm with modern ease, offering intuitive controls and preset cooking options like popcorn mode. It looks great in my break room. My coworkers love it and enjoyed testing it. With 1.1 cu. ft. capacity and 1000 watts of power, this microwave isn’t just for show—it heats fast and evenly. The glass turntable ensures smooth rotation, while the dial and push-button combo makes it easy to use. I was impressed over the different items you cook and the directions on the display to cook it—it also sets its own timer. This microwave is the perfect fusion of retro aesthetics and modern performance, ideal for anyone who loves a statement kitchen appliance that actually delivers. Would this beauty fit your space? #RetroVibes #NostalgiaMicrowave #KitchenGoals #VintageModern #HomeEssentials

A pop of color for any kitchen!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The design of this microwave is perfect for our vintage style kitchen. The pink color gives our retro cabinetry the extra fun pop of color it needed. Even my husband finds it appealing. Love all the different options to use for specific food and meas, which is very helpful. I find whatever meal I'm cooking the food heats evenly and is ready to serve. The lock feature is a nice option to have kids around. I have already recommended this microwave to friends.
