Galanz Retro Microwave Oven
Score: 72/100
Nostalgia Retro Yellow
Score: 64/100Rankings
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 Nostalgia Retro Yellow microwave provides a compact 0.9 cu ft interior with 800 W output and a nostalgic design that fits tight countertop spaces. Its lower power and limited cooking features, such as a single speed and lack of child lock, restrict its usefulness for larger meals. Best suited for individuals or couples seeking style and basic reheating in small kitchens.

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.
