Fast, easy-operation, smaller than many

The Bottom Line: Cleaner styling, more compact, easy to use, and efficient.
We really like this microwave. We'd been looking for a non-GE microwave that would fit in the open space above our range without hanging down multiple inches below the lowest part of the cabinetry. Our neighbor had one of these (similiar house) and recommended it. After reading a few reviews (though not on here) we bought it. It fits perfectly. So many others would hang down another 2-3 inches towards the stovetop, unless you have newer cabinets installed much higher.
I would definitely recommend getting it installed. It would be a pain and take a long time to do on your own. Our installer actually had a bolt break in the top while installing it. He'd never seen that happen before, so I'm glad we didn't have to deal with returning it! As it happened, he had a second oven on the truck so we lucked out.
I like the clean styling and easier-to-even surfaces and interior. We haven't used many of the functions or specials settings. I dislike the defrost function, as you have to select the type and weight of the item you want to defrost. I need to read the manual to try to work around that with a manually entered defrost time.
I like that you can turn off the beeping if you want. It has a pretty powerful fan (four speeds), and two light settings which are useful.
We've only had it about a year now, but so far no problems.
