  • Rated 4 out of 5 stars

    Slides all over the counter.

    Just got this yesterday. So far only complaint is the feet are very cheap and hard plastic. They allow the microwave to slide very easy all over the counter. To me it’s a big deal, as you cannot even push the door button unless it is pushed up against the wall to keep it from sliding. Thankfully I was able to 3D print some soft griping replacement feet (TPU) that firmly hold it in place on the counter now.

    Easy to use

    No complaints. Works great. Powerful and accommodating for entire plates or containers of restaurant leftovers. Looks good with both my stainless and black appliances. Door lock feature is nice to keep the kids from grabbing hot items from the microwave.
