Overview
The Danby DBMW0720BBB is a compact 0.7 cubic foot, 700-watt countertop microwave with 10 power levels, 6 one-touch cook programs, auto defrost, and a push-button door instead of a handle.
Its small footprint and push-button door, which saves the swing space a handle needs, come up repeatedly in reviews from people fitting it into vans, small apartments, or tight cabinet space near wine glasses and other short-clearance spots. Because it's rated at 700 watts rather than the more common 1000 to 1100, some owners adjust standard cooking times upward.
- 700 watts, 0.7 cu ft capacity
- 10 power levels, 6 one-touch cook programs
- Push-button door, no handle needed
- Auto defrost and child lock
Who it's for
Fits small kitchens, apartments, vans, and RVs where counter space and clearance for a swinging door are both limited. Not the choice for anyone who cooks large or dense portions regularly and wants closer to 1000-plus watts of power.
What buyers say

Owners who've used this microwave for a year or more, including in vans and after multiple moves, describe it as dependable and durable, with the push-button door and small footprint singled out as useful for tight spaces. The one serious complaint is a unit that arrived with visible shipping damage, including a control panel that detached and would not snap back in, which the buyer had refunded.

Questions about the Danby DBMW0720BBB
Common buyer questions answered straight from the product spec data - no fluff, no "it depends".
Is 700 watts enough for regular cooking and reheating?
It works, but since it's lower powered than a standard 1000 to 1100 watt microwave, owners recommend adding about a third to a half more time to typical package instructions.
Does the door need extra clearance to open like a handle door would?
No, it uses a push-button door instead of a handle, which several buyers specifically chose for tight installs like vans and small cabinets.
Does it have a child safety lock?
Yes, it includes a child control lock-out option.
