I bought this microwave a week ago to replace a 20+ year-old microwave and so far I have no complaints. We are avid cooks in our household and use the microwave primarily for popping corn, heating water for tea and warming leftovers. It's easy to use and clean.

Does not sit flat on countertop! It wobbles! And the feet are not adjustable. Returned to store and asked for another, but only if I could check it before I exited the store. They said no. Way to go Sears!!!

Comment:
We purchased this unit to replace a Kenmore Elite that stopped working after 23 months. Upon unpacking the unit, we discovered that the bottom of the unit was uneven and would not sit without moving around the counter. Two of the feet were larger than the other two. In addition, the door button would not work. When we returned the unit, were told that we were the second customer to return the same unit for the same reasons that day. We have always purchased Kenmore products. They were of a high quality and reliable. We still have the Microware unit that we purchased in the late 1980's.
