It seems to work very well, but the true test will come over time seeing how long it lasts. The door is very easy and quiet to open/close versus our old GE model which required a lot of effort and made a lot of noise. The potato cooking setting works very well. One negative is that when the cooking is done, it only beeps twice over a period of a minute and the display returns to the time display causing us to forget we heated something up. Our old model would beep once a minute for 15 minutes to remind you there was something in the microwave to be removed and the display would say "ready" for a long period of time.
