The Midea 1025F0A is a 0.9 cu ft, 1000W electric countertop microwave priced at $300, a notable premium for this capacity tier. The 4.2-star rating from 177 reviews suggests it performs adequately, but the price-to-size ratio warrants scrutiny before purchase.
Buyers looking for the Midea brand specifically or those who prioritize the stainless steel finish and compact 0.9 cu ft footprint and are willing to pay more than comparable units at this size.
Skip if
Value-conscious buyers should skip this, the $300 price tag is significantly higher than 0.9 cu ft competitors offering similar wattage. Anyone needing more capacity will be better served by a 1.2 or 1.4 cu ft model, often at lower cost.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The Midea 1025F0A offers 1000 watts in a 0.9 cubic foot stainless steel package. At 20.13 inches wide and 17 x 20.13 x 12.25 in overall, it is a standard compact-to-midsize footprint. However, at $300 it sits at two to three times the price of competitors with identical or larger capacity and equal wattage.
One spec worth noting: the unit weighs only 14.7 lb, which is considerably lighter than other 0.9 cu ft microwaves that typically land in the 22-29 lb range. Lighter construction is not inherently a problem, but it can indicate a difference in chassis materials compared to heavier units.
The stainless steel exterior and button controls are straightforward. The 4.2-star rating from 177 reviewers is decent but not standout, and with no recent sales activity noted, demand at the current price point does not appear particularly strong.

Performance notes
With 1000W and a 0.9 cu ft cavity, the Midea 1025F0A handles standard reheating tasks, plates of food, mugs, soup bowls, at a reasonable pace. At full power only (one listed power level), defrosting requires manual time management. No turntable diameter is listed in the specs, so confirm dish fit before buying.
What buyers say
A 4.2-star average from 177 reviews suggests most buyers are satisfied, but the rating is not exceptional. At $300 for a 0.9 cu ft unit, buyers are likely purchasing for specific reasons, brand preference, aesthetics, or availability, rather than strictly on value. The lack of recent monthly sales volume makes it harder to read ongoing satisfaction trends.
Why is the Midea 1025F0A priced higher than similar 0.9 cu ft microwaves?
The specs do not include any feature that clearly justifies the premium over comparably specified competitors at this capacity. Pricing differences can reflect brand positioning, supply chain costs, or retailer margin decisions rather than functional advantages, so compare it directly against alternatives before deciding.
Is 0.9 cu ft enough for a household of two?
For two people doing typical reheating and simple cooking tasks, 0.9 cu ft is generally adequate. Standard dinner plates and most microwave-safe containers fit. Larger items like full casserole dishes or a whole rotisserie-size chicken will not fit.
Does the Midea 1025F0A include a turntable?
No turntable size is listed in the product specifications, so we cannot confirm whether a turntable is included or its diameter. We recommend verifying this with the seller, especially if you plan to heat large or irregularly shaped containers.
