    It is a nice great looking unit and warms up food evenly, the vent exhaust fan is noisy, under light is too warm will need to be updated with the construction of it is very basic with thing metal and lots of plastic, the upper support pins for screws are not that good as it bends up easily, overall a great beginner unit

    Never had an overhead microwave so when I decided to upgrade my range I got this as well and very glad I did so, it looks fantastic! The unit operates just as expected! Read reviews that's it loud, not mine, sounds normal. Also the complaining that the buttons are to difficult to press, I'm sure glad I decided to purchase the unit because those claims don't hold up on the unit I have. Like the door handle, for years my old microwave had a button to press to open the door, this is much much nicer, opens and shuts very smoothly. Large enough inside to cook just about anything you want to cook. The control panel is really nice as well and like the over head lighting for the stove below. I installed the microwave myself, the instructions were simple and to the point, just make sure you get the template straight and level for the back wall bracket and it'll be a breeze. I vent the unit to the inside, you have to remove the blower motor and rotate it 90 degrees, not hard to do at all, remove a few screws and lift it out and sit it right back down! Also don't forget to install the carbon filter, simple as well, remove the three screws above the top front vent (where the air comes out), open the door, slide the vent to the left and pull it forward. Insert filter and reinstall in reverse order. Thanks for the awesome unit Best Buy!

    I read several reviews which did list the pros and cons. The buttons are hard to press. I do miss the shortcut of pressing just the 1 for 1 minute, 2...... It does have a 30 second button that you can press twice for 1 minute instead of 1-0-0. Could use the Popcorn or veggie buttons I guess. Do like the soften mode. Buttons are different such as the vent one button turns off and on and another button adjusts the speed. Very noisy but most are. Is a eco mode that turns the clock off if you don't like the light with the time. Size is fine and normal. Typical microwave. Bought it because the price was the best I could find on sale. I'm not a stainless steel fan however since want to sell the house soon figured it would look better for others. Stainless steel does show fingerprints easily.

    Good microwave for price. Don't feel like it is any noisier than what we had before so I am confused by those comments. I do agree that the handle feels a little cheap -- but all in all, for the money and for what we use it for (reheating), I think it's a good buy and very attractive looking.

    We previously had a similar Samsung microwave that we loved. It lasted many years. We thought this one was the same. However, one big disappointment is that we cannot use the microwave to cook in and use the timer for something else at the same time. For instance, we can’t bake a cake in the conventional oven, using the microwave timer and at the same time use the microwave to cook or reheat anything. Very disappointing. Also, the microwave has started to make a strange noise after running for a few seconds, as if the tray is off, but it’s not off. Otherwise, we like it.

    Works great. I put in the package of popcorn and it makes it perfectly. Light under neath is fairly dim and the fan for the exhaust is fairly loud. But I rarely use those so not a big deal to me

    The features that are available on this unit are comparable to microwaves of higher price from other manufacturers. Installation is not difficult. In addition, this microwave is not as loud as similar units.

    I purchased this microwave for a rental unit and it is perfect. Saves space on the counter by installing over the stove. Powerful and roomy, although a little noisy.

    I love mostly everything about this microwave. My one and only complaint is that it has an auto-on fan function that turns on when the cooktop gets smokey. While that is nice, you have no option to turn it off if you so choose. So the fan just continues to run until every single tiny sliver of smoke has cleared and it is quite loud.
