Works like a champ, had some flaws

I bought this microwave unit to replace an existing one that after nearly fifteen years of hard service had bitten the dust. The unit is constructed with a fragile outer skin which normally would not matter, but one of the two spring clipped nuts that the front support screws use broke (the spring clip snapped). This meant I had to take the unit apart to locate the nut and duct tape it into place. There were nearly 20 screws involved in this procedure, and the cover was wimbly and easily dented, so great care was required to avoid damaging it. This adventure added well over an hour to the install time. Bottom line, this thing is not designed to be opened up by a layman.
Once installed, the unit has works like a champ. The fan is far more powerful than its predecessor and despite being rated at the same power level, cooks things faster. The behavior of the buttons is simple and requires fewer presses to get the same effect compared to our last one. The light is bright and well placed to illuminate the stove below. The mute feature is ideal for us, since our kitchen adjoins space that we need at times to keep quiet.
All in all, I'd buy the unit again, since the price was very reasonable and an hour or two of repair adventures is not the worst thing I've encountered.

Already gave an outstanding review regarding the installers who put in our new micowave.
Our microwave so far is outstanding on all functions accept 1.
Our surface light worked for a few days and no longer working. I believe we just need to change the light bulb. Need to look at my manuel on what type needed.

I installed this a few weeks ago and it works well. Installation was difficult because I did it myself (not recommended but I live in a remote area) and because I needed to modify the surrounding cabinet and ductwork. I didn't find the paper mounting templates useful and used a t-square instead. The first unit I bought was missing one of the internal, upper mounting nuts, so I had to exchange it, which was a big hassle, but Best Buy did it quickly without a problem once I got the defective unit back to them. Otherwise, all needed mounting hardware was present and the directions were clear. The unit heats food quickly. I bought this model primarily for the 400 cfm fan, which is rated higher than comparably-priced models. The fan works well and has multiple settings, but I would like an even more powerful one because I cook a lot. The fan is a bit loud, but quieter than my prior unit. I haven't tried the more elaborate reheating and butter melting settings yet. The unit looks good and seems solidly built, but time will tell.

the microwave and trim kit went together easily and fit nicely back into the space from the old unit. The features on the new microwave are what I expected.,

Nice clear instructions for a good start on getting my oven installed. The template for making mounting and vent holes was a bit complicated and difficult to use in my instance because of the bottom of my overhead cabinet was recessed.
I like the one touch operation which is required for many heating needs. There are also a lot of preprogrammed, integrated control features for common cooking scenarios.

The microwave was exactly what I expected and needed. It replaced one that I had for eleven years. I purchased the same brand in hopes that it would fit without any problems, which it did.
I paid for installation which went flawlessly. The installers were right on time, friendly, and professional. Because they could use the same installation bracket, it took very little time to install.
Overall, everything went smoothly, and I love the microwave.

It works well and seems to have some good options. First time doing popcorn it did over do it. Not sure why. Other than that it works good. Plenty of cook settings, pre programmed defrosts, useful shortcuts.

I had to get a new microwave do to a broken door on my other one. The problem I had was my other one was a 36" over the range. So I needed one that would fill that space and this was one that would work along with the filler pieces that you could get. But so far so good and it is the same as the other one just not as powerful as this one is 1000 watts and my other one was 1100 watts. And believe it or not it does show when you use it. But over all I like it and it was equal to the others on the market.
