Hello - Thank you for taking a moment to connect and share your review. We're sorry to see that this microwave hasn't been exceeding your expectations. That is not the goal we are aiming for.
We're going to be noting this down and sharing it with out product team to review. We know how important it can be for the control panel to have optimal visibility. Again, we appreciate you sharing this with us, it really helps us know where we need to focus.
Let us know if you have any questions, we're always happy to help. - Jonathon@GEA
We needed a shorter microwave because the cabinet above our stove was too large and a standard size unit wasn't leaving enough room for us to cook underneath. We actually melted our last one due to the flames from our gas stovetop. It's much shorter inside, but it's about 7" deeper. This is good and bad. It's rough on my 5ft tall wife due to the large shelf that now projects out. She has to use a small step ladder to access the cabinet above it now. This model REALLY NEEDS REAR KEYPAD ILLUMINATION!!! It's nearly impossible to see what key you're trying to push by it's light and a definite no go in the dark. Design flaw. It also makes all kinds of racket. I thought it was defective when it was first installed.
Installed and loved it, and it looks great. After approximately 5 minutes of use, it completely DIED!! A Zero rating would be more accurate!!!!

DYI install and the instructions were fairly straightforward. Recommend that if you are going to do a DYI install and that it is an original installation that you be very "handy". Otherwise have it done professionally. LOTS of preset cooking settings! Looks great installed!
