Equipment and external parameters

If people are “meeted by their clothes”, then household appliances are often chosen according to their external attractiveness. Don’t expect any special frilly elements or sophisticated solutions from this model. Plain white cabinet with two rotary knobs on the side. In appearance, it is not the most presentable microwave oven of those that are presented on the market today not only by other brands, but also by TM Scarlet itself. But still, users note that the stove looks organic and attractive in the interior. Among the kit attached to the microwave oven, you will find only a glass table (rotary plate) and a package of documents.

Installation and Placement Tips

The dimensions are really compact, so it is ideal for use in a country house or a small kitchen, as in Khrushchev. True, it will not work to install it in a closet or a special niche – only on a countertop or other similar surface, and it is worth considering the space for ventilation gaps.

Please note that the door is of a hinged type. To open the microwave, just press the button – it’s much more convenient than opening with a handle.

Management

The good old mechanical control will not let you down and will not fail at the wrong moment – in this sense, electronics will always yield to it. There are two handy rotary switches.

The top knob serves as a timer that can be set to any value between 0 and 30 minutes. To start the oven, just turn this switch to the desired time. This entails one feature – if an immediate interruption of the process is required, you need to turn the switch to the “0” mark; it’s not very convenient. You can go “roundabout” and just open the door – it’s easier, but in this case, the manufacturer recommends returning the timer to its original position.

The second switch is power. Rotating it to the right will increase the level. He can be:

• 17%. Low – for heating.
• 37%. Low – for defrosting.

Important! The frozen product should be placed in a shallow tray. Get rid of the packaging first.

• 40%. Below average – for meat and poultry.
• 66%. Medium – for creams, omelettes or pastries.
• 85%. Above average – for sandwiches or pizza.
• 100%. High – suitable for pastries, meat and fish, baked potatoes, vegetable dishes, popcorn, etc.

After the timer has been set by the user, work begins and the light in the chamber turns on. At the end of heating, an audible signal sounds.

Technical specifications

SC-MW9020S02M is a solo design. In addition to microwaves, the unit is not equipped with any of the modern functions for cooking. So cooking, reheating and defrosting happen with one technological solution. Feel free to buy such an oven if you already have an oven. According to statistics, for users with a good oven, the grill and convection functions in microwave ovens remain intact.

Speaking about the quality of cooking, the technique is 100% fulfilling the function assigned to it. It may only be slightly slower than its counterparts from more well-known brands. It’s not even the manufacturer, but the low power. So, it takes about 2 minutes to heat a glass of water or a bowl of soup instead of 1.

But the turntable with a diameter of 24,5 cm will accommodate a plate, a medium-sized chicken, fish and meat steaks, vegetables, a medium pizza, etc.

Inside the chamber is enameled, this is a significant plus – you will not scrape off dried fat and food debris from the walls (of course, if cleaning is regular).

Results

SC-MW9020S02M is not much different from analogues in its price segment. The simple design, together with the mechanics, testify to the reliability and durability of the device. The assembly is decent, albeit Chinese, the functionality and equipment are basic.

All of the above fully corresponds to the cost. The technique will serve a small or medium family, will work out all the money invested in it.

User Reviews

Olga, Sochi

Recently acquired SC-2007. To be honest, it’s easy to manage, there are no problems, the main thing is that it copes with the functions. A little noisy at work. But before that, I had a much worse model, and this one (and even for that kind of money) is a great thing. It also looks like nothing. Warms, defrosts – what else do you need?

Maria, Moscow

Father-in-law gave us SC-MW9020S01M for our wedding anniversary. I immediately liked it outwardly, and they figured out the management without problems, especially the mechanics – it’s very reliable. Heats normally, even strongly. There is a hint for modes. We didn’t find any special cons, except that it’s not suitable for a large family. When guests arrive, the stove breaks. It is interesting that the plate is just the size of a pizza – 24,5 cm. It makes noise during operation, but this is not a refrigerator, so it is not critical. Yes, I completely forgot! You can’t see what’s going on inside: very dark glass, but we got used to it.

Gosh, Kaliningrad

The design of SC-MW9020S01D RD is unusual and modern, I liked it right away. The buttons work fine, although I came across a bunch of bad reviews on the network (of course, like a normal Russian person – after the purchase)). Pyaterochka assembly: sealant, camera cover and everything else. The power is great, even with the adjustment. The sound is pleasant, not annoying, as in Beko. It works not only quietly, but also no louder than other stoves. Haven’t had any issues yet, used for a month.

Disadvantages of microwave ovens “Skarlet”

In addition to the advantages of microwave ovens of this brand described above, there are also shortcomings that may not affect the quality of work.

• Let’s take the cons first power cord. It requires additional space next to the outlet.
• Another “but” assembly, which can hardly be called one hundred percent high-quality. Looking closely, you can find gaps in the design that do not particularly affect the operation, but can spoil the appearance of the device.
• The last flaw highlighted by experts – low power. But this is not a problem either, since a power of 700 V is not a breakdown, but only a longer cooking / heating or defrosting food. The quality and taste of the food does not change.

Malfunctions are the scourge of any household appliances, including microwave ovens. Speaking about Scarlett microwave ovens, one can single out their most “sore spot” – wave power supply. Also frequent cases waveguide burnout. Another knot magnetron, – no less vulnerable element that can fail.

Important! Magnetron – a part necessary for generating microwave waves. Usually repairs are so expensive that it is easier to buy new equipment.

All other breakdowns are eliminated mostly painlessly and do not entail special financial costs. Take good care of your microwave and it will serve you for years to come!

Output. If you’re looking for a workhorse for a reasonable price, the Scarlett microwave is a great choice. Traditional functionality, coupled with mechanical control, is convenient and reliable. And user reviews are rarely negative. Good luck with your choice!
