attractive finish.

plastic-sheet keypad likely to crack with long use (and fingernails), hard to press buttons.

the menu is underwhelming.  cooking presets such as melt/soften and cooking functions have only numbers for their presets, not words ... which means you need to have a chart to look up, for example, what number to select for melting butter vs chocolate, or select auto-cook items.

finally, this unit does not include a function that i thought was nearly standard these days -- fast one-touch cooking where, for example, a single press of "1" turns it on for a minute, "2" for 2 minutes, and so on.  not a big deal, but my family had gotten used to this on our last 2 microwaves and were disappointed not to have it here.
