Very happy with purchase . Picked up from store immediately after placing order. Very easy to use and it cooks evenly. Customer service pick was very helpful and even loaded it in the car for me . Only concerns that I have is being unable to see food when it is cooking . Not sure if a brighter bulb inside would eliminate that issue.

We were torn about which microwave to get. We needed one to fit on the counter, but not so big that it would take up the entire counter. We also needed something large enough to handle our normal cooking tasks. This worked out to be a good balance of price, size, power, and features. There are a couple of things I don't like, but I'd say they're somewhat minor. The glass on the door is pretty dark and very hard to see inside when something is cooking. I realize it's a mirrored look, but it would be nice if the light inside could make it so we could see the food heating. The buttons are a little hard to read unless you're at the right angle and pretty close to the microwave because of the mirrored finish. The mirrored finish also attracts fingerprints like crazy. They clean up easily, but do show quite a bit, especially with small kids around. None of those detract from the function of the microwave to heat food, but could make a difference to some.

This microwave works great for the job it's supposed to do. It cooks well and it's easy to figure out how to press the buttons to accomplish what you want to do. My only complaint is that because the front is heavily mirrored you can't really see inside unless the room around you is quite dark. If you'd rather see yourself and the room around you rather than into the oven, this is perfect. So, for example, if this is mounted at eye-level over a counter you work at while cooking and talking to co-workers/friends, it's perfect. If you don't believe the adage that a watched pot never boils and like to watch, get one you can see into.
