Good and not so good.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We like the low profile microwave in that it solves two problems. since it sticks out farther than a typical over the range model, it catches more of the steam from things cooking on the stove. So the fan is more efficient. Secondly the low profile gives us much more cooking area above the stove. The styling is very nice as well.
That being said, there are a few features that our old model had that we miss. For one it doesn't have the express cook feature, you have to put in the cook time manually. It also lacks the ability to use the timer separately while simultaneously cooking something in the microwave. Also the light above the stove is a sterile white which clashes with our warm under counter lighting. My wife is 5'2" tall and it is harder for her to reach and see in the microwave as it sits 6 inches higher. Just another thing we didn't consider.
