    Really an Excellent item

    Absolutely wonderful Coming from an 1100W 1.1 cu ft Emerson this is a DREAM. INTERIOR LIGHT Bright. Allows one to see in while cooking. Emerson's let you see nothing. POWER Gargantuan Try less until you get used to it. I started with simple beef franks. They were letting out LOUD POWs every few seconds. If you set 5 minutes using an 1100Watts device, just try 3 minutes in this one. LABELING There are both touch spots marked with the typical square button borders and places with just uninterrupted black glass. TIMER for example. You'll have no trouble figuring them out and minus a couple of borders plus a few texts in red gives it a beautiful uncluttered look. CORNER BEZEL FRONT LEFT AND RIGHT top to bottom have a sleek unique corners Octagonal shape. Love it. HANDLE Some don't like the trigger squeeze-UP handle operation of the door. I like it just fine. MISSING FEATURES I wanted a Smart one. No app for it. I wanted one where the turntable returns to its starting point when you open the door. It doesn't have that. I wanted In Home Geek service for it. I can't carry 5lbs let alone 30. Trying to get pre-sale-warranty details from Customer Service, pointless. I didn't like the $20 price jump it took in 2 wks. Jumped to the same price as the larger model. I assume a simple typo. Calls and emails got me nowhere but the price went down Twenty. I was asked, "do you want to order again?"

    Extremely happy with this purchase!

    I purchased this item after reviewing many different microwaves and reviews and decided this one sounded the best… I’m really glad I did. I am very happy with this microwave! I really like the sensor feature, which I wasn’t sure I would… It’s great not to have to worry about something being done or not…every time the potatoes are perfect! I like the size and capacity. It fits on my counter nicely without being too overwhelming, It’s quiet and I have been extremely happy with this purchase!

    Amazing

    I really love this microwave. It has a special feature, a safety lock on the handle and its great for when you have kids to prevent any injuries for when things are hot. It’s beautiful and I love the stainless steel look. It’s very spacious inside, it has a lot of room.

    Powerful and easy to use

    This microwave is more powerful than most and heats/cooks 15-20% faster than our previous one. It also has a much easier user interface for quick operation and is the quietest microwave I've ever used.
