Photos coming soon.

The short version

Buy it if

Small kitchens, apartments, dorms and offices short on counter space
RVs or second kitchens where a compact under-cabinet microwave fits

Skip it if

You cook or reheat large plates and casseroles often
You want sensor cooking, convection or more than 700 watts

What owners like

Common complaints

Based on Readable owner reviews could not be reached on the maker or retailer pages, and Consumer Reports keeps its test scores for members, so this page reports maker and retailer specs only..

What it does

A small 700 watt, 0.7 cubic foot stainless steel microwave that can sit on the counter or hang under a cabinet with the included kit.

Six auto cook settings: baked potato, popcorn, pizza, beverage, frozen dinner and reheat
Auto defrost by time or by weight, plus cook by weight
Express cook buttons for one to six minutes
Child and control lock
Sound on and off setting to silence the beeps
Under-cabinet hanging kit in the box

A good fit for a small kitchen, dorm, office or RV where counter space is the main problem, since it can be mounted under a cupboard. The trade-off is power and features: 700 watts is low for a full size household, and there is no sensor cooking, so reheating takes longer than with a larger oven.
