We chose this microwave to complete our GE set of appliances and assumed we would like it - we do.  A nice plus is the vent that extends several inches if you want to pull more steam or cooking smells from your stove top cooking.  Years ago in another house we had installed a special vent that was very slim and pulled out to turn on and clear the air in the kitchen...this microwave has that built in.  We are still getting used to no number pad - it has a dial.  Have no doubt it will soon be second nature. Fingerprints happen, but are easily wiped away with my dish cloth or paper towel.
