This Farberware microwave is exactly what you’d expect from a small, budget-friendly microwave: it’s basic, but it gets the job done. It’s 700 watts, which is lower power than most microwaves, but that also means it’s a good option for places with limited electrical outlets or for off-grid power systems. For example, I was able to run it for several minutes on a Jackery 1000 portable power station without any problems.
There are a few drawbacks to keep in mind. First, because it’s lower power, it takes a little longer to heat up your food. This isn’t a huge deal unless you’re reheating frozen dinners that have specific cooking times. Second, the size is on the smaller side. If you have big plates or tall containers, they might not fit inside. However, it does have a rotating turntable to cook your food evenly, which is a nice feature for a basic microwave.
Overall, this Farberware microwave is a good choice for anyone looking for a cheap and compact option. Just be aware of the lower power and smaller size before you buy. There are probably a lot of similar microwaves out there, so if you find a different brand that’s even cheaper, that might be the way to go. Read more…
