I purchased this microwave because of its features - in particular, its size, wattage and exhaust system. It's placed above my new GE Profile dual fuel range, and is vented to the outside. I really like the fact that I can use Chef Connect to sync the microwave clock with the range, and not worry about having to adjust both at time changes. The venting system works incredibly well, and comes on automatically when the range cooktop is on. The microwave took some time to learn all the various features, but now that I know them, it's a breeze to use. And its 1000 watt power really cooks things quickly. I had a 700 watt countertop model before, so I have to be careful when putting in the time I want something to heat. All in all, a really great microwave.
