At around 700 watts, this compact 111-prefix microwave was built for dorm rooms, offices, and small kitchens rather than full-size meal prep, and its lower-wattage magnetron means cook times run longer than a full-size unit’s even when everything is working correctly. Its small parts count — magnetron, timer, and door switch, with no turntable motor complexity to speak of — makes it one of the simpler microwaves to diagnose.
