I bought this microwave to replace one that my husband insisted on continuing to use even with sparks flying out of the sides. The box is deceptive, it looks the same size as my old wave machine but actually its a fair bit smaller. Nothing lost here though, it still fits a large jacket potato and those Uncle B rice sachets (did you know you can tear the bottom edges slightly creating a flatter base on the packet so it ACTUALLY fits in the mircrowave instead of doing half a pirouette before falling flat?) So if you can still fit one of those then you know you are onto a winner. I am concerned it doesn't do another beep a minute or two after the waving ends, leaving me to ponder what mysterious foods I will find cold and deflated when my husband has forgotten he started making lunch...
