Our oven/microwave was almost 30 years old, we'd be using it for 20!  So the thought of having to learn how to use a new one with all the digital settings was not exciting for me.  But since the microwave in the old one died, didn't have a choice.  This one is much better than I imagined.  After reading through the manual it is easy to understand and use.  I love it.  One of the main complaints I read about this beforehand was the way the microwave door opened (downward).  I was a little concerned about that but turned out for me to not be a problem at all.  I definitely give it very high marks and we are very happy with it.
