Door needlessly large

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There is no feasible reason for the door to be the entire length of this microwave. You have to be 3 feet away from it to open and close it. And having the buttons on the part that opens means you accidentally hit various buttons when closing it so the fan turns on frequently when you don’t want it to. The touch sensitive interface is laggy as well so it takes a 1/2 second to register you hit the button. They went fancy over function :-(
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am overall pleased with this microwave. I like the sleek design and functionality.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far we are happy with the microwave. Appreciate the sleek daign and glass touch screen. The lighter color interior allows the interior light to be brighter which helps when cleaning. All the functionality you'll ever need is right at your fingertips!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this microwave but it’s annoying buttons and sudden fan activation takes off two stars but I think it’s a great microwave otherwise . The overall look and cooking with melt, defrost etc features are excellent . It can be gentle or strong when you need it. The setup for cooking is on a learning curve, you just have to learn to overcome this machines quirks . I close the door hard sometime the fan will blast on.. the overhead light for the stove will come on with the slightest accidental touch or firm door shut. It would be nice if there was a knob or dial option , the push buttons pad area are very specific to work- if your finger is not touching the right area it won’t work
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This microwave is awesome and provides great cooking options with faster results. The “open door” option is a very nice feature. I love the higher profile because it allocates more space above my cooktop surface.
Everything about this microwave is great apart from the HUGE time lag between pressing a button and something happening (cooking, fan, light - all of it). It's extremely frustrating and I can only imagine it would be trivial for the manufacturer to address. It is so annoying that I considered returning the microwave. Ugh!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this to replace an older microwave and are thrilled with the quality! We really like the slim and sleek design. Not having a handle to open the door was a nice feature, allowing for easier cleaning. Happily, now our kitchen is full of Kitchenaid appliances!
