HAIER 1.3CF 1100-Watt Microwave, Stainless Steel

This microwave was the worst thing I have ever had which completely surprised me because we had a Haier fridge at my work that was a beast & lasted forever (& is still working).

I received this as a wedding present & we started having problems from the first week.

First, the stainless steel on the outside started to rust, I was able to clean it off & chalked it up to the fact that we live in Louisiana so the humidity probably got to it.

Second, whenever we would cook food it would steam up so bad in there that it would leave puddles of condensation in the bottom of the microwave.

Third, the paint started to peel off the inside under the turntable wheels.

Then the microwave became self aware & figured out that it's warranty was up & it decided to act like it was possessed by a poltergeist. Whenever you close the door it would automatically turn on, the light would come one, the turntable would start turning & the microwave would make the whirring noise associated with it cooking, but it wouldn't cook. You would have to close the door a certain way to get it to not do that. After awhile closing the door a "certain way" no longer worked, you would have to push the door in while it was on to make it cook something. We just said "EFF YOU" & got rid of it.

Even without all the problems it was still a huge pain to clean the grilling element inside & when you did try to grill something it would take 10-15 minutes to grill some bread with garlic butter on it. We ended up just using our oven for all of our grilling needs because it just wasn't worth the hassle of using the grill. Plus to even get the grill to work you have to press thirty thousand buttons to get it to the right one (while trying to decipher what the stupid icons meant in the manual), then it would stop every 5 minutes for you to flip the item (even if you didn't want to or need tothere was no way to turn that off) & it would take FOR-EV-ER.

Seriously, take this review into consideration when thinking of purchasing this. It's a cumbersome, faulty, confusing, space hog that routinely gets possessed by poltergeists & has a worse grilling/toasting capabilities than something you could make out of tin foil & wishes.

Their commercial appliances seem to be awesome, but their home appliances (most specifically this microwave) are garbage!

I purchased the "Beast," a year and a half ago, shortly before moving into my space efficient, uber cool pad. I had no idea (guess all that stainless prevented me from visually observing the size of this monster, how huge it is. Also I didn't even entertain the thought of returning it because even though I could have sent it back, The Beast weighed in at 37 pounds plus 20 pounds of shipping materials. A total of 57 pounds that I'd have to pay in shipping costs out of pocket to return Zelda. I must say, Haier got me every which way. From the outstanding photos to the great copy, they had me hook line and sinker. And whoever thought to offer returns as an incentive is a genius. They got this dumb blonde consumer who will have this Beast until the cows come home. If you really want to buy one, I'll give you mine--free. Come get this whale out of my kitchen!

This is a big pile of junk. I have owned it for a year or less, the handle broke off, the inside is rusting and the paint is chipping off. I have NEVER seen such poor quality in my life. I will be throwing it in the dumpster and replacing it as soon as I can find one that I want.

The interior of this unit started cracking 3 months after purchase. I went through 4 months of hassles to get a replacement. When it finally arrived the replacement was defective. I'm waiting again for a replacement for the replacement!

It's now 3 defective replacements and 8 months later. After the 3rd replacement arrived damaged and I had to insist for a refund I was charged a "10% usage fee". I was charged 10% for using their piece of garbage for 3 months before it broke.

Only buy from this company if you have money you can flush down the toilet and enjoy hassles.
