from www.amazon.com
since i use my microwave for the basics--heating, defrosting, popcorn--it wasn't necessary to have complex capabilities.
from www.amazon.com
the light under the microwave is a great plus, we use it as much as the microwave when we are cooking on the stove.
from www.amazon.com
not only does it look great where my old stove hood used to be, it passed my "popcorn" test, of which, i am particular.
from www.amazon.com
the timer and clock use the same button for setting (just in a different order) so it's really easy to accidentally set the clock.
from www.amazon.com
the touch pad was also very loose and i had to use a thin washer behind it as a wedge to tighten it up.
