A drawer microwave is a great design idea, saving counterspace and it doesn't loom over your cooking area. This Bosch design is very good, which was my main reason for purchase. The controls don't tilt out (my personal preferance), but you easily get used to where the "start" button is. The "start" button requires a precision touch to engage, and I wish it were more forgiving. There is plenty of space in the unit for large plates. The cooking time takes average to longer time to cook for this microwave. The sensor re-heat tends to overcook.
