I did research prior to my microwave purchase and with the features with this model, it was a very easy decision to purchase this GE product. The first feature that I was looking for were a large capacity(over 2 cubic feet) and this model was 2,2 cu ft.  The 2nd feature was  inverter defrost which a feature on last microwave and a required one for next microwave since it defrosts without cooking the food. The next feature was a display panel that was easy to read. I definitely prefer the gray/silver background with black font. The majority of other brands have the reverse of a black background and they are more difficult to read. There were numerous other features of power level, warm, 1 minute interval button, as well as the start/stop both in same area. All these features of the GE Profile made my decision an easy one. I googled the nearest location online and found a store who had one in stock and bought it within 24 hours. I would highly recommend this microwave!
