Professional reviewers acknowledge the EM720CB7's solid build, compact size, and user-friendly digital interface, especially praising its even heating and sensor functions. However, they consistently criticize the modest 700 W power and small capacity, advising buyers who need faster cooking or larger space to consider higher-wattage alternatives.
Consumer feedback is sparse, with many retail listings showing no reviews. The limited comments that exist do not raise major issues, suggesting that everyday users who have purchased the unit find it adequate for basic reheating and appreciate its compact footprint.
“quick access to commonly used settings”
“easy to read at a glance”
“nostalgic style and bright finish”
Professional reviewers commend the GLCMKZ07BER07 for its eye-catching retro aesthetics, unusually large turntable for a compact unit, and user-friendly preset menus, making it an excellent fit for renters and tiny-home dwellers. However, they caution that the modest 700 W output and limited 0.7 cu ft capacity restrict its usefulness for larger households or tasks that demand higher power or convection capabilities.
Everyday users consistently praise the microwave's nostalgic styling, bright color options, and straightforward LED interface, noting that the preset programs simplify everyday cooking. The most common criticism centers on the small interior volume, which many feel limits meal size, and the modest power level that can lengthen cooking times.
