Bought this to save space on the counter and with it being slim it didn’t eat up a lot of space above the stove like regular size range top microwaves do. I like that I had the option to connect to an external vent to goes out the roof. It may be thin but I don’t plan on cooking anything that’s over 8 inches thick In height.   
The App and Voice control is amazing which opens up more features for you. This is an amazing microwave which saves space and provide great features.
