This microwave does a very nice job for us. And the look is sleek and modern to go well with my kitchen. I have not used the plate that came with it yet to comment on that. My favorite is to pop popcorn on the weekends as it pops it perfectly without burning or leaving too many kernels. My only wish is that there was a sensor reheat to keep it from recooking leftovers. But the goods of this outweigh this one miss.
