THE SHORT ANSWER

Our take

Rival RGTM702 is an indexed 0.7-cu.-ft. countertop microwave with 700-W output and a linked manual listing six auto-cook menus, defrost, timer and child lock. The manual itself is Galanz-branded and does not print RGTM702; Rival's official index supplies the model-to-manual connection and lists RGTM701 separately. Use the complete RGTM702 code when checking an offer. Tray diameter, finish, sensor cooking, trim support and commercial rating remain unknown, and the old ASIN failed.

Consider it for

Consider RGTM702 when a compact countertop microwave with 700-W output suits the intended reheating tasks. Check that 10.4 × 17.9 × 12.8-in. body dimensions and the actual dish fit your shelf and meals. Confirm the model label before purchase, since RGTM701 is a separate indexed code, and verify finish or sensor requirements from the exact offer documentation..

Look elsewhere if

Look elsewhere if you need a manual that prints RGTM702, a measured turntable diameter, confirmed sensor cooking, a known finish, built-in kit compatibility or a documented commercial-duty rating.

Pros & cons

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

What works in its favor

  • Rival's official index names RGTM702 as a 0.7-cu.-ft. countertop model and distinguishes its identifier from the separately listed RGTM701.
  • The manual linked from that entry supplies a 700-W output figure and compact 10.4 × 17.9 × 12.8-inch outside dimensions.
  • The linked control description lists auto-cook menus, time and weight defrost, express times, a kitchen timer, memory and child lock.

What to weigh up

  • The linked Galanz-branded PDF does not print RGTM702, so the exact model-to-fact chain depends on Rival's official index entry.
  • Although a turntable system is documented, its diameter is absent; measure the glass tray and dish rotation before relying on fit.
  • Finish, sensor cooking, trim-kit support and commercial classification are not established for this exact Rival code.

What the features mean for you

Keep RGTM702 distinct from RGTM701

Rival's official index names RGTM702 and RGTM701 on separate entries. Both are described as 0.7-cu.-ft. countertop microwaves, but the shared-looking manual link does not prove the codes are aliases. Keep RGTM702 tied to its own source row and verify the exact model plate on any offer. Do not use the similar code alone to assign the linked manual's specifications to an offer.

Separate 700-W output from 1,050-W input

The linked manual lists 700 W as output and 1,050 W as microwave power consumption at 120 V/60 Hz. Use the output figure to compare cooking power and the consumption figure to understand the electrical load; do not treat them as interchangeable. When comparing appliances, read the separate consumption number as electrical input rather than cooking output.

Use the documented controls without assuming a sensor

The control panel lists six auto-cook menus, time and weight defrost, express settings from one to six minutes, memory and a kitchen timer. The reviewed manual does not establish humidity-sensor cooking, so that feature remains unknown; menu presets alone are not proof of a sensor. Treat each programmed menu as a control convenience, not evidence that the oven measures food moisture.

Measure the body and check your dish on the turntable

The linked manual gives 10.4 × 17.9 × 12.8-in. outside dimensions and confirms a turntable system, but it does not state tray diameter. Compare the full footprint with your shelf and measure the actual glass tray before relying on plate clearance. Test a round platter with handles on the actual tray and allow room for door movement and ventilation.

Treat installation and finish details as open questions

The evidence reviewed here documents countertop use but does not verify a trim-kit option or an exterior finish. If an integrated cabinet installation or a particular color matters, confirm the exact RGTM702 offer and its accessory instructions before selecting it. A listing that only repeats another model's compatible kit is not enough to establish an approved RGTM702 installation.

Do not assign an unsupported commercial rating

The linked manual says the oven is not designed for industrial or laboratory use, but it does not provide a specific commercial-duty certification or service rating. The profile therefore leaves commercialDuty unknown; select an explicitly rated commercial oven where that classification is required. That exclusion does not establish another commercial certification, so the exact model's duty field stays unknown.

What else to compare

If you need a measured turntable diameter, documented sensor cooking, built-in trim compatibility or an explicit commercial rating, compare an exact model whose manual states that feature. If you need more room than 0.7 cu. ft., choose a verified larger-capacity model.

Before you buy

What capacity and output does RGTM702 have?

The manual linked from Rival's RGTM702 index entry lists 0.7 cu. ft. and 700 W output. It separately reports 1,050 W microwave consumption.

How large is the outside?

The linked manual lists 10.4 × 17.9 × 12.8 in. Measure shelf depth, height and door clearance at the intended location.

Does it have sensor cooking?

The reviewed manual documents auto-cook menus but does not establish a humidity sensor. Treat sensor cooking as unknown unless the exact unit's documentation confirms it.

What turntable size does it use?

The manual confirms a turntable system but gives no diameter. Measure the glass tray and check that your dish can rotate.

Can RGTM702 be installed with a trim kit or used commercially?

The reviewed evidence does not verify a compatible trim kit or a commercial-duty rating. The manual says the oven is not designed for industrial or laboratory use.

Does ASIN B00B1G7AVY directly match a current offer?

That historical Amazon page returned an internal error. Use the tagged exact-model search and check for RGTM702 on the offer; RGTM701 is a separately indexed model.

Where can I check the current price?

The decision

Rival RGTM702 is indexed as a 0.7-cu.-ft. countertop microwave, and its linked manual gives 700-W output, a turntable system and compact 10.4 × 17.9 × 12.8-in. dimensions. Confirm the code on the exact offer: the manual is Galanz-branded and RGTM701 is listed separately. Tray diameter, sensor cooking, trim support, finish and commercial rating remain unverified.
