THE SHORT ANSWER

Our take

Farberware FMO16AHTBSD is a black-stainless, 1.6-cu.-ft. countertop microwave with 1,100-W output, Sensor Cook, memory and child lock. Its exact manual lists 1,550-W input separately at 120 V / 60 Hz. Farberware's category page prints a separate 1,300-W figure without identifying its meaning, so the manual controls the output field. Exact Amazon B0828J17F3 identity is supported. Saved sources conflict on turntable diameter, which remains unknown; trim compatibility and commercial duty are also unresolved. This is a review of documentation, not hands-on testing or buyer reviews.

Consider it for

The model is documented for countertop use and a U.S. 120-V/60-Hz supply. Check the exact manual and rating plate for circuit installation, keeping 1,550-W input separate from 1,100-W cooking output. The turntable size is unresolved because saved materials conflict; inspect the supplied tray and measure dishes before relying on a wide-container fit..

Look elsewhere if

Choose a compact model if counter space or a known tray diameter matters more than a 1.6-cu.-ft. cavity. For cabinet installation, require an exact compatible kit and opening; for foodservice, require a manufacturer duty rating. Do not treat Farberware's unexplained 1,300-W catalog label as rated cooking output.

Pros & cons

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

What works in its favor

  • The exact model manual documents a 1.6-cu.-ft. cavity, 1,100-W output and Sensor Cook.
  • Memory and child lock add documented controls beyond the manual's time/power functions.
  • The manual separates 1,550-W input from output, and Amazon B0828J17F3 identifies the exact black-stainless model.

What to weigh up

  • Saved source materials disagree on turntable diameter; dish fit needs a physical check.
  • The separate 1,300-W category-page label is unexplained and must not be used as microwave output.
  • No exact trim-kit route or commercial-duty classification was verified.

The key details

Published product specifications
Model coveredFMO16AHTBSD
CapacityFarberware and Amazon identify the exact black-stainless countertop variant as FMO16AHTBSD; keep the full suffix.
Microwave outputThe exact manual lists 1.6 cu. ft., 1,100-W cooking output, separate 1,550-W input and 120-V / 60-Hz supply.
Cooking approachSensor Cook, a memory function and child lock are documented; do not extend those features to other Farberware models.
Installation optionsSaved exact-model materials conflict on turntable diameter; leave it unknown and verify the physical tray if dish fit is critical.
Finish and turntableThe manual documents countertop installation. No exact trim-kit route or commercial-duty classification was verified; Amazon B0828J17F3 matches the model and black-stainless finish.

What the features mean for you

Preserve the exact black-stainless FMO16 suffix

The frozen row, Farberware manual and checked Amazon page identify FMO16AHTBSD. The Amazon page confirms black stainless and the exact code; do not merge it with other FMO16AHT variants because color suffixes distinguish the offer. This gives the record a verified identity and a direct tagged destination. It does not establish current availability, price or offer condition, and it does not authorize carrying this model's features to another Farberware product.

Use the manual's 1,100-W output and 1.6-cu.-ft. size

The exact manual lists 1.6 cu. ft. and 1,100-W microwave output. It separately gives 1,550-W electrical input at 120 V / 60 Hz. The larger cavity distinguishes this model from Farberware FMO07AHTBKJ at 0.7 cu. ft. and from the 1.3-cu.-ft. FMO13AHTBSE sensor option. Those are documented size and control differences, not a claim about actual heating speed or food results.

Use Sensor Cook without assuming a performance result

Farberware's exact manual documents Sensor Cook, along with a memory function and child lock. Sensor control makes this a legitimate candidate for a questionnaire that asks for documented sensor cooking; it does not prove that every food, container or quantity will heat as expected. Follow the exact instructions for sensor-compatible foods and containers. Do not substitute the generic auto-cook language from another Farberware model.

Leave the conflicting turntable size unresolved

The saved exact-model sources disagree on the turntable measurement, so the profile does not supply a numeric diameter. That matters because the cavity volume cannot tell whether a large dish base will rotate. If you use a particular platter, inspect the actual tray supplied with the oven and confirm wall clearance during rotation. Keep the unknown visible until an exact, consistent source resolves it.

Check the countertop circuit and do not infer a trim route

The exact manual specifies 120 V / 60 Hz and 1,550-W input, which is distinct from the 1,100-W output used for cooking comparisons. Use the rating plate and installation instructions to verify the actual circuit. The reviewed sources document countertop use but no exact compatible trim kit or commercial-foodservice classification. If either cabinet fit or shared-duty approval is essential, obtain that exact confirmation before selecting the appliance.

Keep the unexplained catalog wattage separate

Farberware's category page associates a 1,300-W label with this black model but does not say whether it is input or output. The exact manual clearly lists 1,100-W cooking output and 1,550-W input, so those are the values used in the profile. This avoids mixing an ambiguous catalog number into matching. Amazon's exact B0828J17F3 page supports model identity, while the tagged search remains available for comparison shopping.

What else to compare

Choose FMO16AHTBSD when documented sensor cooking and a 1.6-cu.-ft. cavity are useful. Farberware FMO13AHTBSE is smaller at 1.3 cu. ft. with its own sensor and tray evidence; FMO07AHTBKJ is much smaller at 0.7 cu. ft. with a known 10-in. turntable but no confirmed sensor. The FMO16 tray size remains unresolved, so it is a weaker fit when exact platter diameter is the deciding condition.

The category-page label is unexplained; the exact manual lists 1,100-W output and 1,550-W input separately.

How large is the turntable?

Saved exact-model evidence conflicts on diameter, so the numeric field is left unknown.

Can it be built in or used commercially?

No exact trim-kit route or commercial-duty classification was verified.

Does B0828J17F3 identify the black-stainless model?

The checked Amazon title and item details identify exact model FMO16AHTBSD and its black-stainless variant.
