We bought this microwave to replace our old one that died after 14 years.This one is almost perfect. I do wish that you could use the timer simultaneously with the cooking process. Our old one did that.It's a small thing though. It has so much power that it actuallyfractured a plate I was cooking on yesterday. Hadn't seen that happen before. It happened at about 10 minutes while cooking the large pot pie.It's very big and roomy. It has a huge rotating glass tray.Overall I love it!!
