I replaced a very old microwave (low wattage) with this.  I didn’t want a super powerful one as we were accustomed to the cook times on a lower wattage microwave. This was was much smaller than the one I had and the controls are quite different, but so far I have been able to accommodate anyth8ng I want to cook. It handles a standard dinner plate easily. I like some of the quick choice options and have been very satisfied overall. It takes up less counter space and is attractive. Very glad I bought it. Wish it was just a little quieter, but no big deal.
