Comment:
We wouldn't eat without our microwave: I decided to add my comments because I thought only the negatives were in here and I certainly feel very positive about this unit. We've had it two years. We have a gourmet shop about two miles from us so often purchase our entree there, husband makes salad, I fix frozen vegetables with olive oil and seasonings in microwave (2 min., 20 sec.) We own a Keurig but, with almond milk or milk, need to zap the mugs for 30 sec. Popcorn in our popper is 2 min., 15 sec. I'd hate to buy another microwave because I'd have to learn all new times. It is very easy to defrost in unit. My only complaint is that it is black and the numbers are a bit hard to see. I'd like a bit of lighter color around the keypad.

Comment:
This microwave never worked properly. Just before the whopping 1 year warranty was up I took it to be repaired. It wasn't repairable - now I have to go to Sears/K-Mart and try to find another model. I can't believe how cheaply made all of Kenmore appliances are. We've bought our stove/oven, dishwasher, and fridge from Sears and purchasing the Kenmore model. They ALL have had serious problems!

Comment:
We used this machine A LOT.It had ample power and cooked very evenly. We enjoyed the special features like melt and soften. The defrost was great too, no partial cooking. After 9 months of use, the turntable stopped turning. DH inspected and found the spindle had melted, scorched and broken off. Sears declared it unrepairable and they are going to exchange it for a new one. I am hesitant to accept the new one. Is there a design flaw? Is it safe? <br /><br />I bought this machine based on CR recommendations, but I wish I had read the CR user reviews more carefully. I would have gone with something else.
