We bought this model to replace a GE microwave we had as we were upgrading all our appliances to stainless steel.  If you only use a microwave to reheat, defrost or just make popcorn as I do than this should be sufficient but otherwise, it doesn't have the "bells and whistles" my former unit had.  It looks very nice, and the control panel is easy enough to understand but it doesn't have the auto light that you can set to go on and off.  And the display is SO BRIGHT and it has no option to dim it down.  Otherwise it works well for basic uses and it looks pretty.
