    I am now on my second microwave, the first one stopped working @ 10 months old. I don't know if the second one will make it a year because @ one month old it is already making a lot of strange noises when it is running The power seems to be good but at the way that this is getting noisier, I don't know how long it will last.

    The microwave looks nice but makes noises like parts are loose. When turning the food, it makes clicking sounds and something else makes a metal vibrating sound.

    Perfect replacement to my 18 year old GE microwave. Like the stainless stell finish. Lots of settings. Buttons will need more pressure, but overall that's my only complaint, if any.

    So far I love this microwave. Be mindful of the popcorn sensor. It needs to be pulled out sooner.
