It's a decent enough device. While I find it too large for my apartment kitchen and actual needs (it's not my main cooking device, just a re-heater for average plates and mugs), I ultimately chose this to match the range below. I would prefer that a number of elements were different. The user experience here is clunky and not at all intuitive. One must press the 'cook time' button before using the dial, then dial, then press the dial or start button twice to get it going. Thank goodness they kept a 30 second button for those of us with little patience. The power is fine, average. An interesting design feature inside means that the spinning platform juts into the door space when closed. This means that crumbs collect on the inside of the door more readily than other microwaves, so more frequent cleaning of the interior is necessary. It does the job, and I'm hoping it will last long enough to justify the price.
