Pros and Cons, January 4, 2010

Please see features below.
I replaced my old Samsung model over 10 years old with this one, and I had to use both for a week to decide which to keep. I decided on this one, I'll list pros and cons.Cons:1. It doesn't cook very fast, about the same speed as my old one, which had probably half the watts.2. The construction quality, while on par for all today's microwaves, feels cheap compared to the way they used to make them.3. Pushing the door open button is just hard enough to be annoying, and having to press start after quick minute is also annoying.4. The biggest con in my opinion: It is hard (almost impossible) to see inside while things are cooking. My old microwave door was almost clear, and easy to see in.Pros:1. It cooks like you would expect a microwave to cook.2. Major Pro (and the reason I chose to keep this one), the inverter defrost actually works. I was amazed that I could thaw meat, and not have it frozen in the middle, and burnt on the edges...

Purchased this to replace an older Panasonic unit that caught fire. It is well made, stays "put" on the counter when pushing selections. The Sensor Reheat seems to work well. I like the way the door works. At 1.6 cubes it is fairly large, but the foot print for counter space is not much more than the 1 cube that I replaced, and the height is about the same as my old unit. Also very quiet operation is a plus.

The inverter technology makes microwaving foods dramatically better! Instead of short bursts of full power, which is what all other micro waves do when asked for partial power, this one actually powers down the microwave intensity. It eliminates burned spots, particularly when defrosting. Huge improvement, small price difference.
