Overview
A small stainless steel countertop unit, the BLACK+DECKER EM925AB9 packs 900 watts and 10 power levels into a 0.9 cu ft interior with a push-button door and digital display. It's sized for a single person or small kitchen rather than a full family cooktop.
Rather than a high-wattage workhorse, this is a small, straightforward microwave - reviewers moving from 1000-1100W units note a modest power drop. Operating noise comes up more than once as a complaint, and the child lock needs re-enabling after any power interruption, which one reviewer found irritating. One buyer's unit failed entirely after about two and a half months, with a difficult warranty process through the manufacturer rather than Amazon.
- 0.9 cu ft interior, 900 watts
- 10.6 inch removable glass turntable
- 6 pre-programmed cook buttons
- 30-second express cook option
Who it's for
Works well for anyone needing a compact microwave for a small kitchen, RV, or a family member who's cut back on cooking and just needs to reheat meals. Less suited to anyone wanting maximum wattage or a quiet unit.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers consistently call it easy to operate with a clear display, and several praise it for elderly or less mobile users who need simple reheating. Complaints center on operating noise and dim interior lighting when the door opens, and one buyer reported the unit dying completely after about two and a half months with a slow manufacturer warranty process.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Simple digital controls with clear display
- Push-button door release
- Compact footprint for small kitchens
- Child safety lock included
- Runs noisier than some reviewers expected
- Slightly less powerful than 1000W+ units
- Interior light is dim with door open
- At least one early failure reported
Performance notes
At 900 watts with 10 power levels, it runs a bit below the 1000-1100W microwaves some reviewers replaced, so cook times for dense foods run a touch longer. The turntable and pre-programmed buttons for items like popcorn and potato remove guesswork on power and time combinations, and the push-button door release is a physical mechanism rather than a handle pull.
