The first one (previous model) lasted 4 years of continual use. This one is almost identical. It works very well. I wish the feet were set a little closer from front to back as the shelf it is in is only about 16.5 inches. Had to remove the front feet and move then back with some pads. This is our situation only and does not remove the fact it is a very nice microwave just some consideration for the future. Features meet our needs very well and certainly big enough to hold what dishes are needed to be heated. Would recommend to others.
