Westinghouse WST3501 0.7 Microwave Oven Review

I don't want to be too harsh on this product; I got it for Christmas in 2005 to replace a 20+ year old Sharp Carousel Microwave. My Westinghouse Microwave still works, and hasn't given me any problems. It was purchased extremely cheaply from JC Penny, and my Mom doubled a coupon and a credit card discount to get it for even less.

Even so, my two main complaints about this product are the small amount of rust that has developed inside the microwave in the corners and under the rotating glass tray, and the inability of the clock to correctly calculate time. I do use the timer almost daily for my oven, and it's accurate for a countdown of microwaving food. But the time will only stay correct for a few hours, and slowly and steadily start falling behind actual time by minutes and eventually hours. Also, after about six months of use, it started making a high pitched humming sound whenever used. I have seen this microwave sold at Rite-Aid so it obviously is a very cheap impulse buy microwave without any regard to long term quality of the unit.

All that said, I still use mine daily and it hasn't let me down after three years. I do like the defrost feature, and the fact that I can use it as a timer for my oven. I would recommend Sharp brand over Westinghouse for microwaves, they seem to last the longest and can stand the test of time.
