Would RecommendPros: Microwave is sleek & stylish. Has good power. Like the "chime" noise. Cons: Although the size of the letters on the keypad is decent, you can barely see the numbers if sunlight is hitting the keypad directly. Also, there is no "panel light" on the keypad, so it makes it very difficult to see the numbers at night. (I keep a mini flashlight next to my microwave to help me out). Last, you WILL see a lot of fingerprints with this microwave, so if you think that will drive you crazy, you...

Good deal
Would RecommendWorks well. Took a minute to get used to the buttons. They are like all microwave buttons, hard to learn how to touch them.

Draws too much power
Did cook the food OK, but drew about 40% more power than shown in specifications (according to my watt meter): was 2,040 W at first, which dropped to 1,700 W within 2 minutes. I cannot use this with the power source I have.

The inverter cooks a lot more evenly.

Pretty Nice low cost microwave unit.
Would RecommendLG is a Good brand so should last a while, 1200watts is fine, optional sensor reheat and cook controls which I'm still getting used to, 1.5 cu-ft is a good size. Only a few pre-set's but that's not a big problem. On sale price below $250 helps out. Looks good, stainless steel.
