Mediocre product
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For a company that used to take pride in its engineering quality, this was a huge disappointment. Microwave is loud, emitting a variety of noises while turned on. Control panel display is not illuminated except for the current time setting. (Wow, what does that have to do with critical functions!!) Documentation included is so minimal it’s practically no use. Full documentation is available online. Good luck!

No, I would not recommend this to a friendGave it as a gift and it did not even work
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased the microwave for my parents as a Christmas gift. They opened the box, plugged it in, and it would not work. They even called the 800 service number and the representative walked them through the set up. Microwave would not work. Now I have to drive 100 miles to get the microwave, return it for another one, drive another 100 miles and give the new one to my parents...and hope it works.
