Quiet, bright inside light, grey interior...

This Micro-wave replaces my 8 year old Panasonic that suddenly conked out on me. So far so good, the Micro-wave is relatively quiet and the inside light is pretty bright. It is not as powerful as my old MW, 1000 watts vs 1200, but it's good enough for my needs, plus it looks good. The color red matches my Toaster and blender. I appreciate the dark grey interior rather than the typical white interior that stains easily and becomes an eye-sore after a while. Good price for what you get !

Excellent Microwave....no regrets.

Stylish. Compact. VERY Powerful! Seems much better than my over-the-range wall mounted unit. Also very quiet. Looks great in the kitchen. Once I figured out how to disable the silly auto-locking door it went from zero to hero (I would have sent it back if I couldn't disable the auto door lock). Now I can open and close the door any time... With auto-lock on you have to PRESS unlock every time....very stupid and cumbersome. Great if you have bad kids I guess.

Perfect size microwave

So my daughter burned the microwave I had at home and I came right here and I was looking for a microwave that would be delivered the same day and I saw this I opened it up yesterday I thought it would be small but it’s the perfect size for me I used it yesterday and I was pulling on the door and it wasn’t opening then I looked at the features and saw the open door button and I was like OK! This is cool I like that! It’s cute and worth it no complaints here!

Most capable, least awful for its size among a crummy field

First of all, this Farberware microwave oven is Farberware only in name/branding, which Farberware licenses for the purpose to Englewood Marketing, which gets the ovens made mostly in China, and then markets, sells, and warrantees them. It’s not really up to Farberware traditional standards, but still probably among the best in a large, really crummy field of available microwaves.This oven comes in 4 or 5 different “colors;” mine is “stainless steel,” and calling that the “color” is pretty accurate, as there’s a thin veneer of what probably is really stainless on/around the front face of the oven, and that’s it, that’s about all the stainless on or in this oven, ‘most everything else is plastic and cheap, painted steel. The very first bullet point of the product description falsely says, “Stainless Steel exterior and Stainless Steel interior,” but that’s just a big, bad lie. (It’s generally easy to tell, as a magnet isn’t attracted to stainless - and stainless is almost never painted or coated, ‘cause it’s fine without.) Nonetheless, from the front, it actually looks good, handsome. From the top and sides it looks like what it is, plastic and cheap painted steel. But still it’s probably about as good or better as any other at the price.(There is another available color, “copper,” which is also handsome, but, ironically, reminds me very much of Revere Ware cooking pots, Farberware’s long-time traditional rival.)This oven consumes 1500 watts electrical power, by actual measure, same as advertised. I haven’t yet bothered to measure/test the microwave radiative power delivered into the cooking chamber, to see if it matches the advertised 1000 watts. (The difference, the missing 500 watts, is lost in the process of converting from electrical power to microwave.)This oven, so far for us, cooks well and evenly enough. There are a lot of reviewers here reporting various hard, early failures with this oven, but so far at least we’ve been lucky, ours works. Time will tell.Reduced power levels, e.g. 50%, as/when requested by the user, are achieved, not by actually running at 50% power, but by cycling between full on and off at somewhere around 10 second intervals with a 50% (or whatever) duty cycle. (Do all microwave ovens work this way, is it too hard to really “dim” the microwave generator?) I suppose this is mostly okay, but if you want say 50% power for a short period like 10 seconds, perhaps to soften a small amount of butter, you’re quite out of luck.The power cord is 3 feet long - rather short, too short for our situation, we’re forced to get and use an extension cord. Our previous microwave cord was 4-1/2 feet, which worked perfectly by itself.The oven’s operational noise is a bit loud, certainly a bit louder than our previous microwave.The oven’s audio beep signaling sound is produced on way too many occasions; and way too many beeps for less than no possible purpose - like it’s beeping to notify you at the end of a cooking cycle - which is pretty ridiculous in the first place, as the oven is noisy enough in operation that you’d have to be deaf not to hear it stop - and you’ve opened the door and it obviously knows that too but still continues to beep regardless; and it (the beeping, still) is too loud; and is especially sorely lacking a way to just turn the whole darn beeper off (i.e. *OFF*). A super nasty, irritating fault in my view, believing firmly that machines should be seen but not heard. Especially egregious since the makers of this oven invested so much in hardware and firmware for cheesy gimmicks like dedicated Pizza and dog-food buttons, but couldn’t be bothered to simply add a small bit of firmware to allow the owner/user of the oven to tell it to just be quiet, do not beep at me!Occasionally this oven requires two or more presses of a button before it registers. This is probably just some flakiness in the (always cheap) membrane button switches, but might also be a bug in the firmware, I haven’t lived with this oven for long enough to know which yet.The oven interior light is needlessly ridiculously dim; and the oven interior surface is needlessly dark, medium-dark grey (could as easily and better been lighter-colored); and visibility through its front-door window is very poor (heavily obscured by some kind of presumably protective masking, but also needlessly dark); so overall visibility of whatever’s inside is triply-needlessly extremely poor. My mate sarcastically called it “theatrical.” I call it nearly useless, almost impossible to see into. They could just as easily install a light bulb with 10 times the light output.The Instruction Manual is written in rather broken english, presumably by a Chinese, sometimes understandable, but often not. Fortunately the oven is not so complicated that you can’t generally bumble around and figure it out.Customer service - by Englewood Marketing, in Green Bay, WI USA - is remarkably quick, nice, knowledgeable and helpful, at least for answering operational questions. Didn’t try ‘em on any more substantial matters.The real, actual weight of this oven, including the turntable, excluding all the packaging, is 29lbs, 14ozs., i.e. 2oz’s. under 30lbs. The Instruction Manual says the “Net Weight” is “Approx 31.0Lbs” - but I’m pretty certain that’s just not currently accurate, over by a pound. Given that they specified the ostensible weight down to the tenth of a pound, I’d guess that their scale is accurate but that they have lightened/cheapened the oven by “approx.” a pound since they earlier put it into production and weighed it. And this oven’s weight is perhaps a little bit light in the field of similarly priced ovens. This might be somewhat the cause of the weight of this particular oven being so rarely noted - and so all over the map, anywhere from 24 to 36lbs., when it is mentioned.The warranty on this oven is nominally for 1 year - but, like pretty much all current microwave warranties, effectively worthless by the time you get done navigating its terms and conditions. In almost any case of a problem, you’d be better off just biting the bullet and getting another oven.So why, out of the hundreds of microwave ovens available, did we get this one? Because it appears to me that they are all pretty crummy, badly flawed, a number of them even severe fire hazards; of those that will fit our strictly constrained space, this Farberware seemed and still seems to be the most-capable/least-awful, at pretty much any price.If I were rating on an absolute scale, considering this Farberware oven’s many faults, I would give it only 3 stars. But, considering the large field of its mediocre competitors, grading somewhat on a curve, I’ll give it 4 stars for now.

The Farberware Classic FM09SS 900W microwave is compact, powerful, and easy to use. It heats food quickly and evenly, and the stainless steel finish looks great in my kitchen. Perfect size for small spaces. Highly recommend!

Good product but the steam from the vents can wet the counter top

The microwave oven has ventilation openings near the bottom of the left side of the unit. The steam from microwaving liquid for more than five minutes escapes from the vents and condenses on the cold kitchen counter top. The kitchen counter top can be visibly wet. If the unit has ventilation openings on the top of the unit, the steam can rise up away from the oven, and the rising steam can lessen the wet counter problem.Also, the timer and the clock share the same button. Pressing the button once turns on the timer function, and pressing the button twice turns on the clock. The combined function button creates the problem of changing the clock setting unintentionally when the button is pressed twice accidentally.The input power of the microwave oven is 1600 watts, and the output power of the unit is 1000 watts. The oven consumes 600 watts to produce the 1000 watt output.Pros: easy to use, compact size, reasonable priceCons: Steam from vents can wet the counter top, and the timer/clock button can change the clock setting unintentionally.My old microwave oven had lasted ten years before it failed, and I hope this unit can last at least five years.
