It’s the perfect size. I wanted something on the smaller side but with 1100 watts. It is weird that you have to lift a trigger on the handle to open the door but after a while you don’t notice it. Like other have mentioned the clock is a tad bit on the brighter side and when the microwave is rotating it has a weird drag like it lags for a second and then load and goes faster for another second to catch up. I included an image of what it looks like in the dark and another for reference of how bit the heating plate is.

Overall this microwave was what I was looking for. I bought it specifically because the one in my apt is too high for me to safely remove hot items (ok, I'm short). It works well, the size is perfect for me, and doesn't take a lot of space. Out of habit I do have my favorite features that I use all the time, others I don't use, but should be fine for those who do. The handle release was different, but very easy to get used to. The only item that could go back to the "drawing board" for improvement, which others have commented on, is the clock display. The digital clock displays on my other kitchen appliances have a softer yellow greenish cast. This microwave clock display is kind of an "in your face" bright white light display, especially obvious when the room is dark. Since it wasn't a dealbreaker for me and there are others clock displays in my kitchen, I easily resolve this at night by the use of a dark colored sticky note.

I bought this microwave last month after my over‑the‑stove unit died on me, and honestly, it turned out to be the best choice ever. The price was perfect, and it’s been a total game‑changer! Heats evenly, runs quietly, and looks sleek in my kitchen. The digital display is clear, and the preset buttons actually make sense (no guessing games). I’ve reheated everything from leftovers to coffee without a single cold spot. For the price, this thing performs like a champ — definitely worth it!

[Employee of bestbuy] Works great I Like the 1 beep option when my food is done its quieter than my last microwave and the handle makes it quieter to open and close

There’s so many things I love about this microwave. I was initially worried about the size, but it’s perfect. It heats food evenly and I don’t have to run it through multiple times. It’s stylish and very sleek. The handle took a little bit of adjusting to, I’m use to just pulling the door open. But it’s a great unit. Happy with my purchase.
