    Worst microwave I've ever had. Never again. 😡 Don't waste your money. It is sad that we can't trust these companies anymore. Is this what we need. The big companies. End corporate greed. Has let us down yet again.

    Have purchased 2 in the last 3 months. Both have had arcing/turntable issues. Do not like child lock feature 😒 removal instructions didn't work. I have not used either one but a few times and always wipe the inside out each time, no chance of food residue. 1 of the 2 was an exchange (same type of issues) great price, scary product. Will not be paying for repairs on a less than 90 day product.

      I'm terrified lately to use my Emerson microwave I bought in January 2012. I see sparks and looks like paint chips around the door falling off and there is an opening. I think it's leaking radiation. My hair is falling out. I have bloody sores on my scalp and I use my microwave a lot. Now I leave the room to use it. I need Emerson to send out a professional that knows and they could test to see how much radiation is leaking because I also have other issues going on. It's connected to a radiation problem. Something is wrong with this microwave and I've never been scared until now but I knew something seems off back 4 or 5 years. I've been thinking it but I stopped worrying about it for a while. It's a past several months. It's been really bad.

      In 1981 I purchased an Emerson microwave for my parents for a Christmas present. After they both passed away, I Inherited the microwave. I have used it almost EVERY day since then. Unfortunately, yesterday, my faithful microwave finally gave out after 43 years. I am sad!!!! I feel like I have lost part of my family!!!! It will be missed!!

      I bought the Emerson Microwave with the browning element about 22.5yrs ago. About 2-3 years ago the door handle broke & the paint under the tray started to peel. It still works great. I would definitely buy again.

      The device could have more power and more air flow to help evenly cook the food. A thermometer to read the internal temp of item being cooked would also improve the unit. Setting for baked potato often leaves raw sections in the middle.

      It’s an old school model. I was still able to buy new on Amazon. I was used to it after 10 years of owning the same model which died. No need for any change, was happy to buy it again. The wattage is good, the oven interior size is perfect for what I need. Has a browning feature I rarely use, but still nice to have.

      I have had this microwave several yrs. It just recently had a issue of the fan running when not using, or after taking something out of it? I'm worried this is a safety issue? Right or wrong. Everything works fine otherwise.

      My husband bought me my huge black with silver keypad Emerson microwave for Christmas in 1999. It is still in use and does a good job. I pray it lasts another 5 but even if it doesn't I am more than satisfied. Wish I could buy another identical to it.

      I bought this 900w Emerson microwave a few years ago that black & chrome/silver. I like keeping my microwave clean, so I keep it wiped out. About a year ago interior lining/paint in the back corner wiped off. It had bubbled up & just crumbled when I wiped it. Then today another large spot had but bled up & also wiped off paint/lining. I'm scared it's going to catch fire being the metal part is exposed in these 2 spots. I've never had a microwave to do this.

      I've had microwaves for years before having to purchase a new one. My 1st was a Sears huge microwave & lasted over 20 years. My second was also a Sears brand that lasted over 15 years. This only the 3rs microwave I've owed in 35 yrs. This one is poorly made. It cooks well, but sometimes it has stopped & wouldn't restart doe an hour. When I 1st purchased it, it was like the door & handle was loose & was going on fall off at any time. It's been several years now & the door/handle still loose but still attached. The only real problem is that the interior paint/lining keeps bubbling up & coming off in large spots. Wouldn't that cause a fire with the metal being exposed??? Is there a recall for this!??? Bc I read reviews & I'm not the only one with this problem!
