It didn't get good comments from others who bought it... and I think
it's rather pricy for a rather ordinary microwave oven. With
microwave ovens I've always had good experience with GE... the GE
microwave oven I'm using now is my third, I've been using this under
cabinet model some 35 years without incident... I wish it would die so
I can justify replacing it with a larger one... but it's like that
battery bunny, it keeps going and going and going...
