THE SHORT ANSWER

Our take

Daewoo's brand-published record names KOR-167ES as a countertop model, and the Daewoo-authored manual cover uses KOR-167ES1 while the warranty table in that same manual names KOR-167ES. The sources support the exact ES model without treating other suffixes as aliases. The model record lists 1.6 cu. ft.; the manual separates 1,100-W microwave output from 1,500-W input and specifies 120 V/60 Hz. Ten levels, time/weight defrost, one-touch cooking, speedy cook, timer and child lock are documented. The exact Amazon page B00IA8G4U4 returned an error; use the tagged exact-model search. This is a manual/specification review, not a personal test or buyer-review summary.

Consider it for

Daewoo's exact model record lists product dimensions of 13.4 x 23.2 x 18.4 inches; the manual requires a level surface, about three inches of spacing around sides/top/rear and about four inches above. It specifies a grounded 120-V/60-Hz outlet and approximately 20-A current. Check the appliance label and available space before choosing a location..

Look elsewhere if

Choose another model if you need a compact footprint, documented sensor cooking, numeric turntable diameter, an exact compatible trim kit or verified current Amazon-ASIN proof.

Pros & cons

What could work for you, and what to consider before buying.

What works in its favor

  • The exact model record lists KOR-167ES as a 1.6-cu.-ft. countertop microwave with stainless finish.
  • Daewoo's manual specifies 1,100-W microwave output separately from 1,500-W input and gives 120-V/60-Hz supply.
  • Ten power levels, time/weight defrost, one-touch and speedy cooking, kitchen timer and child lock are documented.

What to weigh up

  • The 1.6-cu.-ft. cavity and published 23.2-in. width need substantial counter space.
  • The manual does not give a numeric glass-tray diameter or confirm sensor cooking or a trim-kit option.
  • Amazon B00IA8G4U4 returned an error, so the historical ASIN-to-model relation is not proven.

The key details

What the features mean for you

Read the manual and warranty model codes together

The Daewoo manual cover prints KOR-167ES1, while the warranty table at the end of that same document names KOR-167ES. The frozen row and Daewoo's exact model record also use KOR-167ES. This supports retaining the source's exact ES model while avoiding a claim that the `1` or any other suffix applies to unrelated variants. B00IA8G4U4 remains a separate unresolved ASIN clue.

Compare its 1.6-cu.-ft. cavity with 1,100-W output

Daewoo's brand-published model record lists 1.6 cu. ft., and the manual specifies 1,100 W microwave energy output separately from 1,500 W input. Use 1,100 W when comparing microwave output; the input figure is not another cooking-power rating. The capacity is a specification, not a guarantee that a particular dish will fit through the door or rotate freely.

Choose among ten levels and programmed controls

The manual lists ten power selections and separate time-defrost and weight-defrost procedures, plus one-touch cooking and speedy cook. It also has a kitchen timer and child-safety lock. The automatic food programs do not establish humidity sensing, so sensorCooking remains unknown until an exact source documents it.

Leave room for the countertop clearances

The exact manual calls for a level, flat surface, roughly three inches of space at the sides, top and rear, and about four inches of overhead space. It also specifies a grounded 120-V/60-Hz supply and approximately 20 A. Check the actual model plate and follow its full installation instructions; the reviewed material does not list a trim-kit route.

Measure the turntable instead of guessing

Daewoo's model record says a turntable is included, and the manual requires its glass tray during operation, but the exact sources do not publish a numeric diameter. Measure the actual platter and compare it with your dishes before relying on a fit claim. The listed body dimensions can help plan counter space but do not reveal the usable door opening.

Keep residential-use and ASIN evidence distinct

The manual says this microwave is not designed for industrial or laboratory use, and the exact model record classifies it among residential appliances; this profile does not present it as commercial-duty. The model/page sources do not establish a humidity sensor or cabinet kit. Amazon B00IA8G4U4 returned an error, so search KOR-167ES and check the label instead of treating the old ASIN as a current offer.

What else to compare

If you need a smaller cavity, verified sensor mode, measured tray, or current exact-ASIN proof, compare another model with those details documented. KOR-167ES is distinguished by 1.6-cu.-ft. capacity, 1,100-W output and a broad set of manual and one-touch controls.
