This item certainly has its pros and a few cons but definitely usable.  It accumulates interior moisture after each use so you have to remember to open her door and wipe.  It takes a bit longer than my previous one to get food hot.  However, it takes up a lot less space and I have some added counter space now.  It has a reminder if you left food inside, I never do but sometimes I put food inside in anticipation of heating it up soon.  When I attempt to turn it on several minutes later, it reminds me that I already have something inside.  Cute feature if you do forget your meals.  I'm too much of a foody to forget any meal!  The price was great being that I just wanted something intermittently until my kitchen is reno'd.
