This is the second one in 3 years. I didn't care much for the first one. This one is far better. The operation is intuitive. I need to read the manual. The door closes securely, it's quiet and more powerful. A little thing I really like is the turn table works flawlessly and a 30 second warm up brings a coffee cup right back to the front. Small thing but far less frustrating. I'm very satisfied and would buy another.
