HADEN 75152 Compact Microwave Review

3.8 (569) Amazon rating$99.99

Our verdict

The HADEN 75152 is a small 0.7 cu ft countertop microwave built around looks as much as function, with a retro turquoise-and-chrome finish that stands out on the counter. At $99.99 it covers basic reheating with 700 watts and six power levels, but it is a style-forward pick rather than a workhorse.

Best for

Apartments, dorms, offices, or any tight kitchen where counter space is limited and a coordinated retro look matters. Good for one or two people handling light reheating and quick meals.

Skip if

You cook for a family or regularly heat large dishes, the 0.7 cu ft cavity and 9.63-inch turntable fill up fast. Skip it too if you want fast cooking, since 700 watts is on the slower end.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other kitchen ranges, cooktops, wall ovens, range hoods and microwaves we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.

Overview

The 75152 has a compact 17.5-inch width and overall dimensions of 13.5 x 17.5 x 10 inches, so it tucks into small counters where a full-size unit won't fit. It weighs 21.8 lb, runs on standard 120V, and uses simple button controls rather than a touchscreen.

Inside is a 0.7 cu ft cavity with a 9.63-inch turntable, which handles a single plate or bowl but struggles with larger casserole dishes. Output is 700 watts across six power levels, enough for reheating leftovers, warming drinks, and basic defrosting, though it will run slower than 1,000-watt models.

The real selling point is the design. The turquoise and chrome finish leans into a retro aesthetic that fits HADEN's broader appliance line, making it a match for kitchens styled around that look. At $99.99 you are paying partly for that styling, so the value depends on how much the appearance matters to you.

Pros

  • Compact 17.5-inch width fits tight counters, dorms, and offices
  • Distinctive retro turquoise and chrome finish stands out
  • Six power levels cover everyday reheating and defrosting
  • Simple button controls are easy to learn and use
  • Lightweight at 21.8 lb, so it is easy to move or reposition

Cons

  • 0.7 cu ft cavity is too small for large dishes or family use
  • 700 watts cooks slower than higher-output competitors
  • 9.63-inch turntable limits the size of plates that fit

What buyers say

With a 3.8-star rating across 569 reviews, response is mixed but leans positive. Buyers tend to appreciate the size and retro styling, while the lower rating suggests a meaningful share found the 700-watt output or compact capacity limiting for their needs.

Frequently asked questions

Is the HADEN 75152 big enough for a dinner plate?

It fits a standard dinner plate on its 9.63-inch turntable, but larger platters and casserole dishes will be a tight squeeze given the 0.7 cu ft cavity. It is sized for single-serving reheating rather than big dishes.

How powerful is the 75152 compared to other microwaves?

At 700 watts it sits on the lower end. It handles reheating, defrosting, and warming fine but cooks more slowly than 1,000-watt units, so expect to add time to package directions.

What colors does it come in?

This listing is the turquoise and chrome finish, which is part of HADEN's retro-styled appliance look. Confirm the exact color on the product page before ordering.
