I live in an apartment so I obviously don't get to choose my appliances, but this product was installed in place of a separate microwave and oven. I was nervous at first, but I don't really cook/bake much so this is fine for what I need. Here's why I'm writing this review: When I switch from using the rack vs the plate, it shouldn't be a two-handed job to remove the rack and find where to set it. It's just four hooks holding the rack so I have to bend down and lift the whole rack before pulling it out. This could've EASILY been made simpler by just doing a tiny suspension rail along the sides so I could slide out the rack - like how you move the racks in every other oven... It sounds like such a small thing to complain about, but when you have to do it constantly because it's my microwave and my oven, it becomes quite irritating.

So far so good

After a lifetime of owning countertop microwaves and using others' vent hood microwaves, THIS is nice. It is more like a legit appliance rather than a countertop appliance like a toaster or toaster oven. It seems very solid. I love that it exhausts cooking steam during cooking and for a bit of time after it stops. At first I thought the fan sound was the microwave still cooking, since the bell signaling the end of cooking is very, very quiet, but it is removing steam from the interior of the appliance...no more steamy microwave. One important thing to consider...the door opens like an oven, hinging at the bottom, so think that through if you are mounting it above a built in oven like I did. It's a bit high and I'm a bit short so I have to stand to the side of the open door to put dishes in or take them out...I can't reach over the door and into the microwave from in front of it. It's a bit awkward. Overall I love it and the first time my SIL used it he said "That microwave isn't joking around!" He's right. It's dead serious.
