This design matches the new appliances in my kitchen perfectly.  I had an LG before this model too and simply love it.  This LG is beautiful and sleek.  I did not realize when I ordered it online, that it does not have a handle.  Rather, it opens like my new refrigerator by using the edge of the product.  As a relatively short person, this has been an issue.  At least once a week, I hit the door on my face because there is no handle to hang onto.  I have my mother living in the same residence as my family now too and it has certainly been an issue for her, where she has started "ducking" every time she opens or closes it.  Otherwise, the microwave has cooked wonderfully.  Super fast, no worries with the operation.  If I had paid attention, I would have got the product with the handle.  Oh, well, I will make it work!!
