Comment:

This oven starts at anytime. I heard it turn on in the middle of the night. I went to the kitchen, found the microwave was running and extremely hot. A few days later after it started again by itself, I unplugged it and will not use it again. Company is very slow to respond.

How long have you owned it:

Three-to-six months

Bottom Line

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
