This microwave was bought to replace another GE, (that I loved) that finally stopped working after 12 years. I do not feel this microwave is user friendly at all. Our old microwave had a white interior, which I like much better than a black interior.  We did not notice until after it was installed that this microwave has a piece of cardboard on the interior to cover a hole on the right panel. value does not equal the cost. I can not recommend this microwave.
