I bought this after doing a ridiculous amount of research on microwaves. I'd had a GE Spacesaver microwave for 12 years and when it died, I first checked out Consumer Reports. It gave good ratings to GE, Panasonic, Sears, and Sanyo. I went to look at all but the Sanyo (there were none in my town.) And then I checked out the reviews here, on the Sears and BestBuy sites, and elsewhere. It seems the Consumer Reports doesn't consider service records in any category but automobiles, so it's recommendations are of limited value.
EVERYONE complained about the GEs, and the salesperson at BestBuy said that they get a lot of returns and repairs. He said GE sold their small appliance division and the stuff isn't that good anymore. I really wanted to buy such a large item locally to avoid problems getting a repair. But the reviews of the GE, Panasonic, and Sears models I was interested in were just awful (go look for yourself.)
So I bought the Sanyo. It had the least bad reviews. The delivery from Amazon was a breeze and it is a beautiful appliance. It is much quieter than my old oven. It seems to work well (but it's just a day old!) It is small, but so was my old one (although with the turntable, this will hold less, I think.)
But the user interface/keypad is just ridiculous. That seems like such a stupid mistake to make. My old oven went on for 1 to 6 minutes if you just pressed one of those numbers. That was very convenient. This oven won't do that. You have to press the full time and then start. Also, if you want to change the power, you have to scroll through ALL the power levels from 10 down. That is ridiculous! Why not let you enter the level on the key pad?? So far I have used two of the automatic settings: beverage (which wasn't hot enough to make tea) and Plate, to reheat lunch, which seemed fine. It seems sturdy and as I mentioned, it is quiet. I'll come back and report if I have any problems, but SANYO: IF YOU READ THESE REVIEWS, get a better, more versatile user interface!
UPDATE: OK, now I've owned the microwave for two weeks. I have to agree that it is a little underpowered. I have to use more time than I did in my tiny, ancient GE to heat soup, beverages. Also the defrost function takes way too long. Finally, I've learned the hard way that you cannot use the timer at the same time you use the oven. This is a big problem when you are cooking dinner, and again, it is something that my old microwave could do. Also, if you want seconds instead of minutes on the timer, you have to start with 00 since it assumes minutes.
It still seems solidly constructed and it is nice to look at.

I bought this to replace a Craigslist ($15/600 Watt)microwave oven we bought when we relocated 3 years ago. I waited until the right microwave at the right price came along and this is the RIGHT microwave! Perfect size, Wattage and the price was unbeatable. I put in about 6 hours researching Consumer Reports, and other internet review sites before choosing this one and every hour paid off!

Looked in all my local stores for a mid-size microwave in black and came up with very little. This Sanyo was just what I wanted and the price was great, too. It looks good and performs very well. I am happy with this product and would recommend it.

I am very happy with my purchase. It actually defrosts my meat and doesn't cook it first! It looks very nice and seems to be made well. We are very satisified!

Purchased this as a quick replacement for a dead unit. The compact size is the attraction here but it simply doesn't have enough power to do some tasks. Microwave popcorn is impossible with this unit. Also, the frequently used labels on the touch panel have worn off.
After a year of use, this still works for most of our needs but are searching for something with a little more power in a compact size.
