I have to say that it took me a long time to be willing to try any features other than the standard microwaving feature because of the insufficient instructions that came with the microwave. I tried looking up help online and couldn't find much either. After a little trial and error, I found some of the other features to be nice. First of all, the regular microwave works great as expected. Second, I have used the slim fry feature to cook up some yucca and it was delicious. I have made cookies with the convection oven feature and felt they took longer than expected but otherwise came out well. The microwave is very easy to clean. I could not figure out how to connect it to smart things or to my wifi.
