Overview
This Frigidaire EMW953RED is a 0.9 cu ft, 900-watt countertop microwave with 10 power levels, a 9-inch rotating turntable and six auto-cook presets, sized for dorms, small kitchens or a second microwave.
One reviewer also states Frigidaire support told them this model is built and sold under license by a separate manufacturer rather than by Frigidaire directly, which is worth knowing going in.
- 900 watts with 10 power levels
- Six auto-cook presets plus auto defrost by weight
- 9-inch rotating glass turntable
- Chrome accent dial around the digital display
Who it's for
Fits dorms, small apartments or anyone who wants a compact secondary microwave with a distinct retro-red look. Less suited to anyone expecting Frigidaire's own manufacturing and support behind the unit, per one reviewer's account.
Pros and cons
- Compact 0.9 cu ft size for small kitchens
- Auto-cook presets for common foods reduce guesswork

Performance notes
At 900 watts across 10 power levels, it runs six preset auto-cook options for foods like frozen pizza and meals, plus auto defrost by weight. The 9-inch turntable rotates for even heating and lifts out for cleaning.
