This microwave is a replacement for a Frigidaire Gallery microwave that we had that was starting to go, after almost 10 years. This model is quieter and a bit more powerful. Only thing is I don't think the fan when it is on is really doing much to pull up the air from the range below it. But as a microwave, it is solid. I also wish it had more pre-cook settings. But, this microwave should serve us well for the long haul.
