Nice Microwave but the built-in kit is much too large

We use this microwave as a built-in unit in our island. While the microwave is very nice and looks great the built-in kit is much too large. It is so large that we were unable to use the drawer front for the under microwave drawer which was a first for our contractor. We had to have a custom drawer front made in order to accommodate the size of the built-in kit.
I got this as part of new house. It looks excellent and heats fast than previous microwave. But this does heat unevenly. One issue that is making me write this review - During house warming party, someone with big nails tried to operate this microwave. Buttons on microwave has plastic on them. Due to big nails, some of the plastic came out. Now microwave looks ugly. There are air pockets between plastic and button base, dust started gathering within a month. So folks looking to buy, consider this as an issue. Not sure if plastic can be replaced.
Pros: Attractive Design, Easy To Clean
Cons: Heats Unevenly, Hard To See Display, Buttons No Intitutive
The microwave is everything I expected it to be. We didn't need a new one, but we were converting over to stainless appliances so we bought this one to pair with our new oven. We haven't had any problems with it. I have noticed that it's quieter than our old one.
