Works but breaks easily Mar 11, 2005
By Bookworm My experience was not as good as the other reviewer. This is a very handy thing to have if you don't have a microwave with a built-in turntable. It works well, but it is a bit slow and makes a loud noise as it's spinning. Also, some things are just too light to make it turn. To combat this, I put lightweight items on a heavy plate. The downside is that it breaks very easily if you overwind it. And there's no real gauge for winding, no apparent stopping point. I usually tried to underwind it on purpose. But I guess I wound it a half a spin to far one day and there's no way to fix it. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a better alternative short of buying a microwave with a turntable. So in summary:
Pros: Works well when it works. Heats food evenly
Cons: Breaks easily; Light weights won't make is spin

Nordic Ware Micro Go Round Nov 25, 2005

I disagree with the bad reviews on this product.The item does have a replacement warranty, so what's the problem ?? I bought the first one before microwaves even came with a turntable built in (20+ yrs. ago). I'm on my second one (replaced under warranty after about 10 years). The current one is about 10 yrs. old and it gets lots of use. It's finally giving out again and time to maybe buy a new one this time. I think Nordic Ware has met their obligation.

By TundraVision Searching for a replacement for this have-to-have kitchen essential, I ended up with a list of Rodgers and Hammerstein musicals. This is what happens when one types "microwave carousel" into the search engine. So, please excuse me if I simultaneously sing Great Old Show Tunes and write this review ;-)
Like the Timex watches in the old commercials, these Microwave turntables take a lickin' and keep on tickin'! The one that I am replacing today has been a faithful friend for about 10 years, and its manually wound spring has finally sprung. It had a lot of hard wear along the way. These hardy handy-dandy Nordic helpers are indispensable for those whose microwave does not have a built-in Carousel. One need not interrupt one's TV viewing to get up to turn one's nuking TV dinner that pesky 1/4 turn that the meal maker mandates. The Micro-Go-Round does it for you: o/~ You'll Never Wok Alone! o/~ Reviewed by TundraVision, Amazon Reviewer

Long time user tells how to fix problems... Nov 29, 2010
By Charles Haigh
"wrighter"
I've had mine for years & bought several as gifts for family & friends. Several times over the years mine has been accidentally overwound & stopped rotating. I discovered that if you remove the three small plastic pins (using needlenose pliers) that hold the thing together, you are then able to unwind/reset the spring inside & get the thing going again. It's been a couple of years since I had ours apart, so I don't remember exactly what's inside, but once you remove the bottom, it'll be pretty self-evident what you need to do to get it working again. Once you've done this, put the top and bottom back together, line up the three plastic pins, insert them & you're in business again. This technique has never failed to get our turntable working again. Try this self-repair tip to avoid tossing a very nice and handy kitchen tool in the trash.

Avoid Nordic Ware 10-inch Micro-Go-Round Jun 13, 2005
By RealStory1 Junk! The plastic shaft which connects the entire turntable to the wind-up spring motor is only about 1/4 inch in diameter. You crank up the turntable to the limit of the spring, and suddenly the shaft has to absorb all the angular torque of the turntable. When are you getting close to the limit of the spring? There is no way to tell. Bang, the shaft breaks. Another problem? The heat of the food warps the turntable over time. The warping disables the ability of the table to sense the weight of the food and start the table turning. Look for alternatives. Save the outrageous $30-$40 and buy a new microwave with a turntable built in.
