Powerful 1000 watts but the beep when cooking is finished is barely audible and quits after a very short time. The screen does not indicate that something is in the microwave so it’s easy to forget about what you’ve just warmed up or cooked. The display screen print is small and dim, difficult to read. This model does not have the one touch feature such as pressing “1” and start for one minute. You need to enter the zeros. Due to size constraints this was the only Bosch that would fit. I suspect the better more expensive models have the bells and whistles I’m missing.
