[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I find it hard to operate especially setting the time,, I wish they a microwave with a larger had a little linterior. Maybe average size, medium and this one. Otherwise it serves its purpose. I did try to pop a bag of popcorn and over half of the kernels didn’t pop. I wish I had just purchased a counter top model. Lesson learned!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Has some nice features our old microwave didn't have like the vent fan turning on automatically when cooking something on high for a longer period that is typically normal and at a high-power setting. Tremendous power on high setting with the vent fan. Uneventful installation of the microwave. Used it immediately to cook a meal after the install. We needed more clearance between our stove and the microwave and this model gave us what we needed.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works good as expected. Added features as 3 level lighting plus warm/cool adjustments are nice. Programming and connecting to Wi-Fi can be confusing. One negative, being a low profile model with a lower inside height, the rotating dish needs to be flush to avoid hitting food and drink containers when entering the munit
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice features with adjustable light color/intensity, sound, fan and wifi capabilities. Programming is a bit confusing as directions and diagrams don't always sinc. With a shorter height, the rotating shelf should be recessed to avoid hitting contents being inserted.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I hate this thing. It was obviously never tested in real homes. Awful, stupid and non functional. Slow response, except when your not trying to operate. Family sound like a jet. Turning I ff fan and light is ridiculous. Steams up and door is covered with water after use. Can't open door without turning on fan or light accidentally. My dishwasher and oven are silent this is a joke.

Microwave works good. Had to have technician out. Noticed air blowing from top and bottom even being vented outside. He checked damper and everything. Guess will always have some air blowing from bottom and top. (Not a lot)
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my new microwave! It is compact but has plenty of power and space. The exhaust fan is great and has several settings. The light that shines down on the stove also has several settings. I recommend this microwave to replace a hood exhaust fan because it does both.
