    Selected this unit to replace a 15 year old GE unit that had given trouble free service. Simple to use... especially like the express cook option for fast dinner cooking. Install was straight forward. The exhaust vent appears to draw well. Attractive finish .

    Purchased this microwave based on Consumer Reports review and high ratings of power, reliability, and quietness for reasonable price and so far (using it for 6 weeks) I'm very pleased. We installed it ourselves and the instructions were relatively easy to follow.

    The microwave looks good but it seems to be having an issue with the door if you don't close it just right it wont run. Just waiting to see how it does before the warranty runs out. Otherwise it seems to work fine.

    This was a replacement for the exact model that I'd bought several years go. Stuck with the same model so that I wouldn't have to change the mounting plate. Fit like a charm, even the the top screw holes. Very pleased.

    The reviews can scare you a little, but this microwave is doing great. It replaced an original appliance that had lasted over 20 years. I don't think this one will make it but you never know. Runs quiet, cooks quick and no issues cleaning.
