    1st microwave was defective-second one seems ok, but is still flimsy compared to the 15 year old LG it replaced. Also, it surges to 18 amps for 5 seconds, then drops to 14. I had to have a bigger breaker installed.

    Pros: Fast. Nice appearance. Good selection of heating options. Large cooking area. Cons: Needs a backlight for the control pad. Those over 40 will need their readers for the same control pad.

    We bought a similar microwave made by Panasonic. It lasted 13 years, was easy to use and did everything that we wanted it to do. It's simple to set up and to do the initial use. My wife is very happy with the Panasonic line!

    The micro wave tends to heat faster and more intently from the previous one that I owned. Most items have overlooked in this oven. It is really large and is somewhat light in weight. A slight touch and it slides backward. It may be a good oven, but it is taking some getting accustomed to.

    Tough to use w/the 27" installation kit

    Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The microwave and associated "trim kit" were pretty much the only choice available when our 18 year old microwave (built in to a 27" cabinet" finally broke. The trim kit seems to have originally been engineered for a 30" cabinet, and then they made one for a 27". Unfortunately, without seriously mangling the vent tunnel on the trim kit, it can't be installed. In the end, we got it all working and hopefully it will be good for the next 18 years.

    After 5 visits to the store and physically returning 2 incorrect microwaves, I finally got one installed that works as expected and fits my needs. Staff was very friendly and tried to help but were not well-trained. Very frustrating.
