Less than stellar performance.

Bottom Line:

Comments about Cuisinart Cuisinart Stainless Steel Countertop Microwave:

Not nearly as powerful as the 18 year old Panasonic of similar size that it replaced. Preset popcorn function only good for popcorn in prepackaged mini-bags. Would only pop 2/3 of kernels in Presto Popper, even when manually setting time and power level to same as previous unit. Preset buttons white lettering on light gray background hard to read. Rounded front design kind of retro looking. Opening door will often move unit. Push button type latch would be preferred.
Clock would go back to zero every day or two for the first few weeks. Ok now though, but for how long?

Service & Delivery comments:

Very prompt delivery. Slight damage to carton but no visible damage to microwave.

Comments about Cuisinart Cuisinart Stainless Steel Countertop Microwave:

I purchased this microwave to replace a cheap microwave I purchased about one year ago. It was very flimsy and rattly since new. I decided to replace it with a better more solid unit. After reading many reviews I felt that the Cuisinart would be what I was looking for. It arrived very quickly and in good condition. Was very easy to set up and the controls were very easy to use, just quickly browsed the instruction manual. It is well built, looks good and is quiet. Some people commented that you could not set an exact amount of cooking time. Just look in the instructions and you will see that it is very easy to do so. I am very happy with the purchase and for just a little more that the price of the cheap discount store models, you will get a very nice quality microwave.

Comments about Cuisinart Cuisinart Stainless Steel Countertop Microwave:

Works good, display functions some are cofusing. Designated functions are very nice. Cooks more even than my last microwave but its not perfect. When following instructions to cook it still comes out a little uneven. Easy to clean off. Looks good. Its quieter than my last micro. All over review is pretty good...better than some microwaves.

Bottom Line:

Comments about Cuisinart Cuisinart Stainless Steel Countertop Microwave:

Looks and works great. Only thing is figuring out how to set for seconds to reheat something. I wish they didn't stamp Cuisinart into the metal on the front either. That could have been more discreet. But overall, it's really nice. It's a bit pricey but my husband wanted the stainless inside. We just use to reheat and for popcorn so I could've done with something less expensive.

Service & Delivery comments:

As always ABT shipping and customer service were prompt and excellent! No complaints there ever!

Comments about Cuisinart Cuisinart Stainless Steel Countertop Microwave:

This microwave is great for heating foods or defrosting. It does not leave "hot spots" and heats the whole dish evenly and quickly. The rotating tray is a nice feature and really reduces the time needed for heating or defrosting. It is also easy to remove and clean.
I just had relatives visiting and they all want to go out and get one.

Looks good and works great!
