The micro wave was fairly easy to install with the lifting and holding in place help of my 20 year old daughter. It functions as well was you would expect. It is a little louder the the GE that we had for 10 years. Other then the minor increase in noise. It works great. Use the template for proper mounting location.

We were seeking an economical replacement for our 10-year-old, top-of-the-line GE Profile microwave that suddenly died: turn-table stopped rotating & it would no longer heat contents. Given that we didn't use all of the many functions in our previous microwave, we opted for a lower-end model without all the bells & whistles -- small mistake. We have since discovered how useful it is to have a "sensor" to determine when an item is heated, and the difference that truly "one-touch" power buttons make. Note: this model does NOT have a sensor that automatically stops heating when foods reach their desired temperature. (Reheating items is based on the item (dinner plate, muffin, etc.), which requires that YOU, the operator, have to estimate how long an item should heat. E.g., to reheat a dinner plate, you have to select "1-dinner plate," then push start -- not the same is simply selecting "reheat" regardless of what you're reheating. And, in our limited experience with it, the oven seems to over-heat items than would happen if it had a sensor. This LG model seemed to meet our needs based on descriptions & reviews, and appeared to meet our anticipated usage requirements. Installation was not as simple as promised and, of course, installation holes didn't match those of our previous oven. Nevertheless, self-installation was manageable, if more time-consuming that expected. Since we haven't had it very long, and were on vacation much of the time since acquiring it, I can't speak much to how well it functions or its long-term reliability. We do miss some features that were on our former GE Profile model (auto-night light, one-touch power settings, a couple of other "auto" buttons, and, of course, the sensor) and it seems to be noisier in operation. We've also noticed that the tinge of the the stainless steel is a tad "more orange" than our other appliances (except it does match our LG refrigerator). Otherwise, we expect it to do the job as intended - mainly reheat leftovers & warm-up beverages, while we wait to see if it is as reliable as our former one.

I like the ease of use, the power, the functions and the light. I do not care for the interior of the microwave. It is not practical to clean if you have children or anyone who doesn't properly cover items being cooked. It has tiny little holes on the top and sides of the interior for splatters to get inside. I have no idea how you would clean it if stuff ever got inside all those holes without disassembling your unit. My teenager is not allowed to use it without me seeing that what's cooking is properly covered. I would have never purchased this unit had I seen the interior but I bought it online instead of going to store. Great product if you can properly cover food to cook.
