Farberware Classic Microwave
Score: 67/100
Galanz Retro Microwave Oven
Score: 72/100Rankings
The Galanz GLCMKZ07BER07 combines a retro blue look with a 0.7 cu ft cavity and 700 W power, featuring many auto-cook presets. It is limited by low power and small capacity, without sensor or convection features. Suitable for renters or tiny-home dwellers seeking a stylish, space-saving microwave.
The Farberware FMO07AHTBKJ is a budget-friendly 0.9 cu ft microwave offering basic reheating and defrost functions with LED lighting. Its low power and limited interior space reduce cooking speed and dish size flexibility. Best for small apartments or dorm rooms where cost and compactness matter most.

Professional reviewers find the Farberware FMO07AHTBKJ surprisingly capable for its budget class, emphasizing its even heating, strong defrost performance, and reliable hot-pocket results despite the modest 700 W output. The model's simplicity, safety lock, and memory function are praised, while the lower wattage is noted as a trade-off for speed.
Everyday users appreciate the microwave's compact size, interior lighting, and safety lock, rating its value and construction highly. Common criticism centers on the slower cooking speed and limited interior height, with some users feeling the capacity is too small for larger meals.

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.
