Fantastic Microwave Combo with Oven

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Combined with the oven below, this is a great microwave unit that has performed admirably without issue. It is simple to use and looks really sleek and clean in the kitchen.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far happy, really like the fan that will get moisture out of the microwave from when boiling water, etc.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While this microwave works well with respected touch pad selections, I feel there is a serious design flaw with the fort opening down. Difficult to reach over door to place in or take out food from the microwave. Particularly a problem when placed over a matching wall oven. Another design flaw is the eco LED light mode. Very difficult to see the panel lights, and at certain angles they disappear altogether. This could be solved by brig able to turn off the eco mod. Unfortunately you cannot!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I needed a specific size microwave oven and this was the only one that fit. I have two complaints: 1) the sound of the timer is too soft to hear and 2) the wattage is under 1000 and many of the foods I want to heat or cook require or request you use a microwave with over 1000 w. Some go as far as to say in their instructions "Do not cook in a microwave under 1000 w. Well, I just cook it longer and hope for the best. Otherwise it works just fine and the Bosch Customer Service was marvelous.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We don't do much cooking in our microwave and use it primarily for reheating. Definitely have to put items in for more time and at a higher power to achieve desired results. The display is very dim when not being used. You cannot even see the clock unless you are standing directly in front of it. I had read this before I bought the microwave, but it is disappointing nevertheless.
