After two over-the-range microwaves failed prematurely, we reverted back to a counter top microwave.  Purchased this model after reading reviews and looking at models in stores.  So far it does the job quietly and effectively.  Only concerns are you have to press extra hard on the keypad and the door sounds tinny and feels flimsy when opening and closing.  Unit feels less solidly built than older microwaves, but that seems to be the state of most new microwaves these days (unlike our 30 yr old, still functioning microwave in my husband’s shop that has a solid feel and sound to it).  I’m hoping Cuisinart doesn’t stop functioning as soon as the warranty is up, like what happened with our last microwave (another brand).
