Decent microwave
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We mostly bought this microwave because it fit within our microwave slot without poking out too far. Our previous microwave was GE and had similar dimensions and we really liked it until it failed. This microwave has slightly higher wattage than the previous one (1100 v 1000) but the defrost doesn't seem to work as fast. The turntable is a little noisier too. It sounds kind of like a wind-up toy unwinding. The light bulb is also a little dimmer than I would prefer. Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with this microwave as compared to similarly priced and size of microwaves made by other brands.

||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great microwave. Looks nice, easy to clean and plenty of power. I read some of the reviews and I don't understand what was wrong. Ours works and looks GREAT! I bought it on sale, on-line and it shipped from our local BB on time and arrived in good shape. Not one nit-picky complaint here. Good job Best Buy!

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Our original GE kicked the bucket and we were in a pinch. This model was smaller than our original, but it surely packs a punch. Its handled everything we have needed and we haven't missed our larger model at all.
