    I like the product except for the white LED display. It is very hard to see in the night. The green LED which I had in the previous one was good.

    I gave this only 4 stars because it is very loud. The fan comes on when in use. I purchased a similar one that wasn’t noisy.

    Not as many options and settings as some microwaves, but it works great & looks perfect in my kitchen. Needs 2 1/2 min to do a cup of coffee as opposed to 2 min in my previous microwave, but fine once I adjusted to it.

    It is not as well built as the old one. Everything is lighter and the bottom on the front doesn't hide the light and filters under neath. The buttons are harder to push and do not respone as well. It looks cheaper than the old one.

    When a power surge ruined our old microwave, we knew we wanted the same features and Best Buy has the best deal around. This microwave has been working wonderfully, has useful controls, and a better interior and exterior design. Very happy.

    We purchased this microwave to replace a GE Adora due to grease fire. I liked the Adora better but this one is fine for my needs. I think this one is less expensive and chose it because it was in stock.

    We replaced a GE microwave which had one light at the back of the unit. Number One requirement on new GE microwave was lights at the front of the unit to light pans on the front stove burners. Requirement met. Happy Wife, Happy Life.
