I chose the low profile over-the-range microwave largely due to customer reviews. They were right on; It's so convenient to have the microwave there and to save counter space. The lights for the range top are outstanding and the microwave features are many and easy to navigate. I like it at eye level, and I find that the low profile is more than tall enough for me. I expected having to readjust timing of microwave cooking because of 1000 watts versus my old counter top microwave 1100 watts, but I see no difference what so ever.
