Oster OGG61403 Microwave Review
The black and stainless steel housing speaks to users' aesthetic sensibility and the door handle appeals to their desire for practicality. Consumers say the Oster OGG61403's quiet operation, pre-set buttons, and low price offer very good value.
Consumers who don't want to think too much about microwave food prep or pay too high a price for microwave convenience, rally 'round the Oster OGG61403. In Oster OGG61403 reviews at Walmart, users comment favorably on the speed and quiet operation of this budget countertop microwave. Many report having to reduce the cooking times that worked on older models and admit to being surprised by the quality given the modest price. Oster OGG61403 reviews on Amazon commend its generous power, noting, for example, that a serving of lasagna was heated through in two minutes and vegetables packed in a special cooking bag come out perfectly. Consumers also award points for ease of use, specifically for the preset buttons, which one consumer deems "self-explanatory," and a window that offers a good view of the doings inside. The door handle is a big plus for some users, whose Oster OGG61403 reviews say it beats the push-button doors found on most budget microwaves because it can never get stuck. The sleek lines and black and stainless steel shell on this model also garner nods of approval from consumers.
We found hardly any Oster OGG61403 microwave reviews reporting issues related to durability, but we did note a handful of minor critiques. One concerns the door: Some users say the unit walks a bit when they pull on the handle (as a preventive measure, put rubber feet on the bottom, suggests one). And while the nine preset buttons are certainly handy, consumers say, a few claim the programmed cook times and power levels seem a bit off.
The Oster OGG61403 has an interior with 1.4 cubic feet and enough vertical space, according to an Oster OGG61403 review on Home Depot, to handle oversized containers. It features a generous 1200 watts of power and users can control the cook and defrost functions by entering the weight of the food item. This model also includes a timer and digital clock, and a programmable child lock. It measures about 22"Wx19.5"Dx12"H and weighs nearly 40 pounds.
A basic microwave with the important features but no frills, the Oster OGG61403 gives good value for the money. It's one of our top picks in the budget microwave segment.
