Quite frankly – the best microwave I’ve ever used. Read several reviews around the net, and decided to go for it despite its fairly high price. So glad I did. First, it’s flat-out great looking in my newly remodeled kitchen. More importantly, it seems to be more powerful (or at least more efficient) than any other micro I’ve ever used. It’s simple to use – you can punch in time and power settings just like any other micro, but its preset and sensing options so far seem to be extremely accurate. That’s quite a “bonus,” as I really did not expect those to be much more than gimmicky, but they’ve proved me very wrong. Note – many micros in this price-range have convection (or more aptly “convection lite”) built in; this one does not, but for me it wasn’t an issue.
One thing to watch for is your vendor actually having it in stock. I actually tried to purchase this from 3 different vendors who advertised it as “in stock”; however, all 3 had to get it from the manufacturer. Not sure if this is industry-wide, or if I just had a little Schleprock-syndrome. On the first 2, I canceled the order once I got delivery estimates; on the 3rd one, I acquiesced and just waited the extra week. If you need it immediately, beware; if you can wait a week or two, settle in and wait – it’s worth the wait.
UPDATE: After one year, it’s still performing fine. Note however, this is one of the “leakiest” microwaves I’ve owned (from an RF perspective). When this microwave is running, it effectively kills any WiFi 802.11 b/g/n signal anywhere around. My profession involves wireless networking, and microwaves are notoriously bad about this, but I have to admit, this one (at least the one I have) is one of the most disruptive I’ve experienced – you absolutely cannot keep an 802.11 b/g/n connection with this microwave running … good thing it’s quick and doesn’t run long
. (In case you care, I’ve had multiple routers/wireless APs and multiple wireless clients with the same results, so the “issue” seems to be with the microwave versus my computer equipment.)
