" ... I like the power of the microwave. ... "
" ... Good little microwave. ... "

" ... I wasn't sure how I'd like it but this is really a good microwave. ... "
" ... Love this microwave, so easy to use and powerful too! ... "

" ... Buy it because it cooks stuff right cheaply. ... "
" ... The microwave unit is well build, works extremely well, and has very good space. ... "
" ... Can choose a delay start, can preprogram cooking stages (so many minutes at this power then so many minutes at another power-- I think you can program cooking pauses, too). ... Was light enough for this senior lady to unpack and place on shelf over the stove. ... "
" ... Less foot print on counter but large capacity inside ... "
" ... Sensor cooking works great and so far nothing has been overcooked or undercooked ... I debated back and forth to go with this one or the next larger size and based on my small kitchen and space, this fits perfectly. ... "
" ... It cooks twice as quick as the last one. ... "
" ... I had this very same model microwave that was 1300 watts for several years. ... I wanted the same one to fix in a spacific space. ... This model is 1200 watts and cooks faster than the earlier model. ... "
" ... Small footprint but nice capacity and works great so far! ... "

" ... I immediately unplugged it. ... This was only 3 years old. ... "
" ... This one started acting up just after the one year mark where it would randomly quit or wouldn't start without opening and then closing the door again. ... Today it lost power completely and died. ... "

" ... The heating technology does seem to more evenly distribute heat that classic microwaves, though it’s not exactly as “magical” as the images show. ... "
" ... I like this microwave- it is easy to use- the food gets hot and stays hot after use, the clean-up is easy- and it doesn't make a lot of noise ... "
" ... Heats almost 2x as fast as our old Amana microwave so the upgrade was well worth it. ... "
" ... Inverter technology allows for shorter cooking & heating time. ... "
" ... Otherwise, it works very well and heats food and/or cooks fast and evenly. ... "
" ... It's nice to have a microwave that doesn't shut off when you go beyond heating food up. ... "
" ... Excellent microwave easy to use and fast to heat up your food, only gave it a 4 star because of the auto sensor heat and reheat I think needs a programmable function to be able to dial it down if needed. ... "
" ... heats food, cooks meals . ... "

" ... This microwave has a cheap feel to it and the door is hard to open with one hand. ... "
" ... I liked the microwave at first, but it just broke down. ... It started and then the power cut off. ... "
" ... It takes very little to knock the turntable off of the center and it’s very difficult to put the glass turntable back on without knocking the ring out of alignment. ... "
" ... The one I returned made the plate scorching and the food on it tepid. ... "
" ... Was great at first then the plastic covering of the number pad started to bubble and come off after a few months which makes the numbers hard to see. ... "

" ... This one 'requires' that my two-minute instant coffee cup be placed 'handle-to-the-rear' so that it finishes with the handle facing forward. ... "
" ... Without a doubt, beverages (left-over coffee, forgotten tea, etc) make up a good 1/3 of my microwave use. ... "
