    This is a very nice microwave. It is powerful and simple to use. It is a good value for the money and spacious for your food. The only issue I have with the microwave is that I am unable to silent the beeping when pushing the buttons or when it stops cooking.

    Large interior, plenty of time and cooking choices on the easy to read keypad. Exterior matches my other kitchen appliances and blends in. Use it several times a day.

      Thank you for sharing your experience! We're glad to hear the microwave is performing well and saving you time. For the child lock feature, you can easily disable it by following the instructions on page 12 of your Owner's Manual, which can be viewed at the bottom of the Features tab on the product page of the Best Buy website.

    Beautiful replacement for my 20 year old Whirlpool! Larger than I anticipated but ‘fits’ in my space! Having trouble learning to ‘start’ timer-requires 3 or 4 touches before it starts!
