After researching several makes and models, I chose this one despite several critical reviews of the panel visibility and "tinny" door feel. I disagree that the type is hard to read, but my kitchen is well lit and I have decent eyesight. I do agree the door is noticeably less solid and heavy than our previous 2010 Profile model. We also notice the power seems less strong so we have to cook things a bit longer. The many features are convenient, so far we've only used less than half. I like the sleeker look, though slightly mismatched to our 2010 Profile range. Overall, we're pleased with the look and functions for the price.

The recently purchased microwave has quickly become a favorite in the kitchen. Its nice design and sturdy handle not only enhance its aesthetic appeal but also ensure durability. We have found it easy to use with a user-friendly keypad and convenient buttons, making it accessible for all family members. It works as expected, delivering consistent heating and cooking results, and fits perfectly in the designated space. Overall, this microwave is a good one that combines functionality, ease of use, and an attractive design, making it a reliable and straightforward appliance for any home.

Installed today, no reason to not be 5, yet. Ive not actually used it yet. *Nice clean look. *Easy to read panel, but not backlit. *Clock readout is a brilliant white light (doh! over my stove with a green readout! Might look to apply a smoke film to tamp it down.) *Large turntable fills the available floor space. *Surface light has 2 settings. *Has express cook (easy start) buttons . *Has a timer. *Installer adjusted vent to exhaust up/out the front top appropriately. *Two speed exhaust fan's noise seems comparable to the amout of air its putting out, though I always wonder about tech these days - can we not make highspeed fans more quiet? Is it a case of poorly designed cavitating fanblades? Or is it the motor, or a combo? *Door opens/ closes with little effort compared to my last one which is a nice change... Im not sure how I feel about the door weight... feels chinsey/cheap/too-light... we'll see. ***Interesting feature, I need to read more about: label says "Vent Fan May Start Automatically". Installation was a breeze... ALTHOUGH, because I work nights, I carefully waited to select a date a week in the future that specifically allowed for the 12-8pm timeframe. I receive a message yesterday narrowing the time to 12-4pm. I received an automated phone call yesterday confirming 12-4pm. BUT woke up to a 0900 phone call today saying they were 25min away!!!! Then looked at my phone to see an additional text reminding me to be ready 12-4pm. So I scrambled out of bed, got dressed, and cleaned up the kitchen cabinet and counter as best I could with almost 25min.

Easy installation, good power, attractive and well priced.

Love my new microwave! Heats great no noise very quite . So sleek looking and modern . Easy to clean .
