Bought to replace a 35 year old Samsung microwave that finally died. This seems like a good nuker, very happy with it after 3 weeks of use. Not sure how the inverter technology works. I think it keeps the microwave emission on at various levels based on moisture sensors, rather than one power level cycling on and off. Seems to work good, food comes out evenly heated.

Pretty good, it heats up food fast. However it does have a few odd quirks. The major annoying one is that sometimes when it finishes heating food, once you go to use it again the buttons lock, and you have to hit stop/reset in order to bring the functions back on.

A Small countertop Microwave. Big enough to hold a full- sized dinner plate. It cooks faster than our older but larger one. It has a Child Lock "feature" for the door but this can easily be turned off per each cooking cycle or "permanently.

A good basic microwave for our cabin. It's a replacement for an older, smaller unit we had had for years. So far, it works much better and heats faster than the old one. It was a good purchase.

Replacement of 5 year old Sharp, much quieter and with more power. Takes a while to get used to the lock strategy for children, but it can be defeated easily. If it lasts for 5 years I will be happy.
