I needed a new microwave as I "cooked out" my last one from daily use. We searched and searched and came across this microwave. I wanted one to match the rest of the appliances and that would last. This microwave made the grade and looks beautiful in my kitchen and is functional and does everything that I need it to do. My favorite thing is popcorn (in a microwave popcorn maker...not bags). Thanks, GE, for a wonderful product!
