Strengths: well-built, large interior relative to external dimensions, preset cooking options
Weaknesses: None
Summary: This microwave is very well built, has a large interior relative to its external dimensions, and has enough bells and whistles to make it more than functional. It’s constructed of sturdy material—not the flimsy plastic that you usually see. This was an important point for me. My last microwave lasted nearly 20 years and I’m hoping this one will do the same!
One of the features I like best is the auto defrost—press once if you are defrosting ground meat, twice for poultry, three times for steaks /chops and then enter the weight in tenths of a pound. The Auto defrost option is not for people who are in a big hurry, though, because you need to let the meat stand for 2-20 min after microwave shuts off to give the meat time to fully defrost. But it’s worth the wait because the meat thaws without cooking the edges!
I don’t ordinarily cook complete meals with a microwave, but I have used this one to successfully to steam vegetables, bake potatoes and, of course, pop popcorn. You can use pre-programmed sequences for all of this plus there are many more options. The manual is set up in table form and really easy to refer back to if you forget the times and power settings.
I would definitely recommend this microwave, especially for people with small kitchens. If you place it cattycorner it leaves enough space in front for a dinner plate or mug of coffee.
