I love that the control pad lights up with a touch.   The light is bright, and the vent fan is strong.   The add 30 seconds feature is beneficial. It heats my food quickly and evenly, which is a big plus. I also love that it has several different settings that allow me to cook different types of food without any hassle. There's a setting for melting butter! The design is sleek and modern, and it fits perfectly in my kitchen.
