Comment:
Another two weeks (30days)and Sears wouldn't have allowed us to return it. Repair would have cost $69 plus parts, half of the purchase price.
How long have you owned it:
A month or less
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Comment:
I purchased this microwave 12/2/2009 and it stopped heating this morning on the third item. We used this oven practically every meal for making tea, reheat coffee, oatmeal, melting cheese, warming leftovers, frozen dinners, etc. It initially took 60 sec to heat a cup of water in a mug and over the last 6 months, it pushed up to 130 sec. It had very quick encounter with metal sparking from handle of chinese food carton about year ago but seemed fine. Considering the Amana lasted 15 years or more, this seems like premature death. Up to now, we were happy. My experience in the last few years with home small appliances is quality is elusive even with research.

Comment:
As many others have reported (here and elsewhere), the durability of this unit is very poor. Perhaps we were lucky - we got a bit more than two years' from it before it failed...this being with very moderate usage.<br /><br />We really did like the unit (though we never saw any foods labeled TrueCookPlus) - it was relatively quiet, fairly powerful, and convenient. Unfortunately, it also failed far too soon. <br /><br />I cannot completely fault Consumer Reports for not reporting reliability - they have a product such as this for possibly only a few months and depend upon members' feedback for reliability ratings, though perhaps they should review comments posted (at least to their own site - this!) and perhaps add a caution to the product review.
