I like the way this microwave operates, but it’s functionality/design could be improved.  The surface light is not easy to activate — you have to press a few times to hit it just right — and then the light itself is very bright (“daylight” versus “warm white”).  Likewise, the display is very bright compared to the other appliances I have in my kitchen and there is no way to dim it.  To operate the microwave, you have to do a combination of pushing the function “button” and turning and pressing the knob and the hitting “start”; I wish I could just hit the time I want and then “start” instead of turning the knob (I resorted to hitting the “30 seconds” button several times until I get the time I want.  Lastly, the microwave did not come with an instruction manual and the Quick Start guide did not contain the basic instructions.
