    I have an Oster microwave. I’ve had this microwave since 2019 and it’s working like a champ. No problems, no rust, all buttons are functioning. I love it! It’s the metal front or whatever. Nothing lasts forever but this is certainly worth the money.

    Microwave buttons never worked right and you could only use the quick programed and quick time buttons. It was impossible to set a custom time. This was fine though and livable. After a year some of the LEDs on the clock/timer started to go out. Six months after that it caught fire in the back of it. Seemed like one of the heating elements ruptured. It is too new to have all these problems. Worst microwave ever.

      We’re going to have to replace this after less than five years of use because it rusts like crazy. Now it’s so bad on the “ceiling” that it makes a loud crackling noise and it sounds dangerous. I’m afraid it may catch on fire.

      My microwave just turned one in November but months before it started rusting inside and the door doesn't always shut and the microwave won't start till you open the door and slam it shut. I have emailed the company multiple times just to be given another email that turned out to be the exact email I just sent the email to. I sent approximately 10-12 emails and Oster did nothing about it.

      I got an Oster microwave about 6 months ago and it runs fine but has no heat whatsoever. It makes me so mad when I don't have money to burn. When I got it in beginning I could feel air on outside. Now

      Microwave is only 2 years old, but is corroding around the door. I put guerilla tape but it did not hold. The machine itself works, but the surrounding door and around the carousel has issues. You should have a upload for pictures.

      This microwave was terrible. The paint badly chipped away under plate, and today I had to throw it in the trash because it caught on fire. It made a strange noise and I noticed the light in the microwave and immediately opened the door. When I opened the door, the metal side paneling (the small square) had turned black. Dangerously made. Would never recommend Oster microwaves to anyone. Better to be safe than sorry with better made appliances.

      2019 purchase of Oster microwave oven. Only used for minor warming or reheating. The interior paint on and around the door and bottom of the oven failed and reflects the original and initial metal that was never primed and poorly painted with too thin of a paint. The microwave is improperly painted and same is insufficient for all, any, every form, kind and types of interior moisture/steam from liquids such as water for cocoa, chocolate, coffee, tea or soups and/or sugar contents in bakery pastries and all presents an immediate dangerous and unsafe consumer/users conditions. The end results is the instant and immediate paint failures and blistering that is a chain reaction for microwave leakages and yes " CANCER".

      The Oster Microwave is honestly believed to be much too dangerous and unsafe to continue to be sold and all consumers should consider a different brand for the sake of your medical physical health, life vs death and you and your family or guest personal safety. The Oster microwave oven is pretty and looks nice but so does a baby skunk and black bear. The older they get the worse they are!

      I bought this microwave from Home Shopping Network. It's an Oster and then someone gave me one as a gift so I did not use it until this year and it's not even been a year and it's rusting out on the inside. Awful.

      Do not buy a Oster microwave, the paint and it rusty on bottom, it still works, yet after 5 yrs it's really bad, it started peeling after a year and gradually got worst worst. Not made of money and will never buy one again.
