We bought this microwave oven to replace another brand that failed to heat food two weeks past the extended warranty that we had purchased when we bought it. When we checked with customer service for repair options, it was cheaper to buy a new microwave. After extensive research, we decided to buy the Cuisinart Microwave because of the brand reliability ratings and the only three year warranty of all the ovens available.
Even though the Cuisinart is smaller than our previous oven, it is much quieter and quite efficient. It also seems to require less energy to function. We are happy with all the features, especially the short cut buttons which start the oven with a one press. For example, a press of the "1" starts cooking on high for 1 minute. The sensor cook settings also make cooking much easier to figure out. We tested it cooking steaks only to find out that the steaks came out medium well and at the proper temperature for eating. So far, so good. It has been an excellent addition to our kitchen.
I would recommend this to a friend!

After two over-the-range microwaves failed prematurely, we reverted back to a counter top microwave. Purchased this model after reading reviews and looking at models in stores. So far it does the job quietly and effectively. Only concerns are you have to press extra hard on the keypad and the door sounds tinny and feels flimsy when opening and closing. Unit feels less solidly built than older microwaves, but that seems to be the state of most new microwaves these days (unlike our 30 yr old, still functioning microwave in my husband’s shop that has a solid feel and sound to it). I’m hoping Cuisinart doesn’t stop functioning as soon as the warranty is up, like what happened with our last microwave (another brand).

This might only be 1000W, but it is phenomenal! It cooks in less time than on packages describing cook time based on 1200W. Overall, the inside is big enough for everything we own except one square plate. This is far superior to what we had previously.

Love this microwave! It was a replacement for a very old (20 years) larger microwave. I searched for the ease of use - programmed buttons, quick cook, etc. - and was so happy to find this model. The pre-sets are great - fresh and frozen veggies, defrost by time or weight, potato, popcorn, soften/melt. It is smaller profile, which is helpful in my small kitchen but the room inside is fine for backing dish or serving platter. It is so quiet I had to stand in front of it to make sure it was working! Highly recommend purchasing this product.

I have loved my past two Cuisinart microwaves and decided to replace it with the new Inverter technology. So much more quiter than my previous microwave. Haven't used it as much yet but it sure does a good job in assuring things are hot and in less time. So far, so good. I just love all my Cuisinart products. They complete my kitchen.

This microwave oven does what it is designed to do. When I defrost meat, it does not start to cook the edges like my old microwave did; but following the instructions booklet, it defrosts evenly. I also like the soften or melt feature for butter or cream cheese. And I want to say that I enjoy the beverage feature. It warms beverages of 4, 8 or 12 ounces quite nicely. Be careful, though, because the popcorn feature can be a little over zealous... probably due to the power wattage. So, stay nearby to listen when the popcorn stops popping to remove it so that it doesn't scorch. I'd rather have more power, than not enough.
