Frigidaire Full Size Microwave Oven GLMB209D

Date Published: 9/18/06

A versatile unit, the Frigidaire Full Size Microwave Oven GLMB209D can be placed on a counter or built-in to a 27- or 30-inch space with an optional trim kit. This model also works well over a built-in Frigidaire wall oven and provides a seamless look for a totally up-to-date kitchen. Spacious and affordable as well as versatile, this microwave oven offers 2.0 cubic feet of interior space--quite a lot for the money when compared to various other brands.

A look at the features further enhances the value of this particular model. Equipped with an accurate and easy-to-use sensor, this microwave takes the guesswork out of cooking any quantity of foods in nine popular categories. This sensor is also equipped for limitless reheating and for the preparation of any brand of microwave bagged popcorn. A good choice for a busy family, this unit offers the capability of defrosting sizeable quantities of food by simply entering the package weight. Four stages of programmable cooking ensure accurate defrosting without pre-cooking and are useful for experimenting with more complex microwave recipes.

A relatively recent feature, "keep warm" is included and may prove useful for keeping foods at serving temperature for short periods of time. A large 16-inch turntable ensures even heating and accepts most dishes. Easy-to-set, accurate electronic controls include a kitchen timer as well as an auto-start feature. This unit offers more than a simple basic microwave oven, but doesn't venture into any of the more complicated or more expensive technologies. Frigidaire offers the GLMB209D in the basic kitchen colors: white, black, or bisque.


Pros: spacious 2.0 cubic feet, excellent as a built-in, offers useful and easy to program sensor
Cons: not available in stainless steel, doesn't venture into the newer baking/browning technologies



Warranty
1 year, full; 2 years, parts; 10 years, magnetron tub
