I do not ask a lot of a microwave -- I don't need a lot of watts or features.  I heat water, reheat coffee, heat canned soup and leftovers.  Sometimes I make popcorn and once in a blue moon, I will defrost something.  My main goal was to get a small, but reliable model.  This fills the bill.  700 watts, small footprint, and so far, reliable.  I would add that my mom needed a new microwave and she also needs a small footprint.  After one I bought her lasted two years, the next one (same brand) lasted a little over two months.  I decided to step up and bought her the JES1072SHSS and she loved it immediately.  So, given that my old microwave dated to 1980 and this is just what I wanted in a replacement, I bought one, too.  Perfect choice for someone with a small kitchen area or for a dorm room or office use.  Or for someone like me who just does not use a microwave enough for something bigger, fancier, or more powerful.
