Is this a full size microwave?

To most of us that are low income you could consider this microwave a moderately full sized microwave the one i got was 900 watts most microwaves that are 1100 watts or more is considered as full sized microwave ovens

What is the height inside measuring from the top of the plate to the ceiling? i.e. what is the tallest that an item can be and still fit?

Interior height is 8 inches and the width is slightly over 12 inches.

What is the exterior depth of the microwave excluding the handle? I would like to put it in a 12 inch deep cupboard.

It won't work in a 12 inch deep cabinet, unfortunately. The unit itself is approx. 12 inches in depth, but with the handle it's 13 inches...AND there is a back plug and back projection of the unit that protrude out at least 1-1.5 inches. I took a picture that I'll download in the info for the unit itself. I don't see a way to show it in this comment.

Opened box and turntable plate was broken. How do I get a replacement part please?

I am sure if you notified Amazon that the plate was broken upon arrival that they would send you a replacement at no charge.

Does this microwave vent the excess moisture outside or is the microwave always dripping with water?

I reheat coffee throughout the day instead of leaving my coffee pot on all day. I've never had an issue with condensation inside of the microwave. I've never tried to make something that requires cooking something for a long period of time that has a high water content, so I can't answer if trying to boil a large amount of water wouldn't create a problem. There are vent holes inside, and vents on the outside, so I've assumed that is where the excess moisture goes.

Is it unusual for the exterior to heat up (very hot) on these small microwaves?

I never experienced hat exterior My microwave works fine no heat to the exterior.
