If all you care about is that it works well, then it does. My main complaint is that it is very noisy - I can hear the motor or fan running even when I go to another room. Plus, when the time is up it beeps 4 times but doesn't stop there - it then cycles between silence and doing the 4 beeps until you finally run to it in desperation to get it to shut up.

My other complaints:
a)It appears from the title that it is 1000W when it really is only 800W so if you don't read the box carefully you are not getting as powerful a microwave as you think you are.
b)The plastic door hooks stick out quite a bit and are on the open side of the door. I have hooked my sleeve on them several times when reaching for or putting food into the microwave or knocked the lid off something when pulling it out.

I have purchased this microwave and used it for over a year. I really like it, and it is packed with nice features and well built.

Highlights:
- bright LED that displays the time and cooking settings. It has 2 colors: green and red.(compared to a LCD on most cheaper ovens - I am not mentioning mechanical jogs ones).
- Nice handle to open and close the oven door
- 800W cooking power: it has been plenty for me, and it is power efficient on the electrical bill side.
- Supports multi-stage cooking with preselections
- Original design
- Easy to clean touchpad
- Nice build quality, no loose parts
- Turn table of over 10 inches is a quite respectable size for this oven.
- Reduced footprint on the counter top space.

Got this for my mom and have used it several times myself. It's compact enough to fit sideways on a narrow counter, which is what she needed. My only warning is about the popcorn button. It leaves the bag about half-popped. I'm assuming that you can set the timer for a longer cook time and have it do better, though. It also doesn't have a convenient quick-cook button (Minute Plus type). But it does a great job overall and is pretty.

The microwave does the job. It reheats microwaveable food well, and defrosts frozen items. It looks nice, and is compact (for America - Europeans beware, this is normal size for Europe). The downsides: it is loud, the beeper never goes off, and the white handle is a bit flimsy. When I pull on it, I always feel like it might snap off, though it really won't. For such an expensive microwave, I would have expected better quality. Re design, it's the only nice looking white microwave I could find on Amazon. Re price, I didn't research other options very much, as I had a gift certificate, but from past experience, if you just need something to reheat microwave food, you might be able to find something cheaper (perhaps less stylish or small).

Well, you could buy this thing here and pay something like $150, which is what they're asking as I write this, or you could go to Bed Bath and Beyond and get a similar model by Sanyo for about $60. Duh.

Does its job. Not like wowed by this microwave or anything. But it was inexpensive and my gf needed a microwave. It was free shipping with amazon prime which was nice. I don't think anybody will be dissapointed with this buy.

The headline for this product says it is 1000 watts. But from everything else, it looks like it is 800 watts.

This is misleading. The headline is what caused me to look at this product. I feel manipulated and will look at other ones instead.
