    Hey Ya'll! Once I figured out how to install this microwave between my wall and cabinets(most of the time over the range micros are between two cabinets) it fit like a charm. You have to leave space for the door to open. Nice and simple functionality. Most for making popcorn anyways. I wouldn't pay more than the $160 I did for this on sale.

    The microwave itself is fine, but I'm really disappointed that the control panel isn't lit up. It's extremely hard to read. Wouldn't buy again.

    Works good overall, there is no light timer that I can live without I guess. The biggest disappointment would be how loud the exhaust fan is and when the microwave is cooking

    Buttons are very stiff and multiple selection order is not intuitive but I'm getting used to the order of things. Buttons do not seem to be in a logical order but that may be because I was used to my old one and these buttons are located in a different order.

    Great product so far, as I just got this Microwave a couple of weeks ago! All buttons are clear, and the surface light is much brighter than my old Microwave! Very attractive model!

    The microwave is nice and does the job it should. I would prefer the buttons to be more simple and to the point so I’m not always looking for the right one.

    They all seem the same! no elegance or style to the box. Didn't want a convection oven, simple but clunky looking, same as the old one it replaced. It works, the installation was smooth. We'll see how long it survives in my kitchen!

    This was a replacement for our 15 year old unit. Works well so far. Only negative is that it should have lighted digital buttons as it’s hard to see the pad numbers at night

    This replaced a Kenmore microwave that worked for 18 years (!). This one is SO far superior. Small things perhaps but the surface lighting and especially the FAN are awesome. We’re still learning to use all the programming. But so far we are delighted with our purchase. AND my husband installed it fairly easily.
