The microwave does a great job when it comes to defrosting food. It does the job flawlessly without leaving any cold spots or baking the food. It’s fairly quick, taking around 7 minutes to defrost 1 lb. of ground beef.

Its 2.1 cu. ft. capacity is larger than the majority of microwaves. It can easily accommodate even large casserole dishes or large pizzas.

This microwave determines if the popcorn is ready by listening to the frequency of the pops. This helps prevent burnt popcorn, but will still leave about 20% of the kernels unpopped. This isn’t a terrible result, given that many microwaves struggle to cook popcorn anyway.

You will get great results if you stick to the automatic cooking modes, as they rarely get things wrong.

The controls are placed horizontally on the bottom of the microwave, so they're easier to reach if the oven is installed on a high place.

In addition to the default turntable, it comes with a removable rack that you can install when you want to cook two items at once. This is useful for cooking multiple pizza slices or chicken nuggets.

The turntable can be switched off if you need to put things larger than the microwave turntable inside. This avoids unwanted clunking or damage to the turntable and dish.

The microwave has a special feature called 'Kid's Menu' that makes it easy for children to cook their favorite snacks themselves with minimal supervision. Just select the desired dish from the kid's menu, and the microwave will do the rest.

This microwave has steaming and simmering capabilities, which is interesting for cooking vegetables of fish in a healthy way.

The microwave has 1100W of power, with 10 cooking levels. This is one of the most powerful over-the-range microwaves you can buy.

The interior is coated with a non-stick material so you won’t need to use any chemicals to clean the oven. Just wiping it with a damp cloth will be enough, unless it’s a really serious stain.

The microwave is available in either black, white, or stainless steel. It can easily fit into your desired kitchen look.

This microwave uses sensors to determine when the food is done by measuring how much steam is emitted by the food. The microwave automatically shuts off to ensure the food is cooked perfectly.

It is equipped with a charcoal filter and a blower that effectively removes smoke and steam, and the odor left by heated food. This means there won't be any left-over smells when you open the microwave door to heat new food.

The turntable on this microwave unit can be recessed to stop spinning. This is best for big cookware that simply cannot rotate because of its size.

This unit has a melt feature which emits the perfect temperature to melt butter, caramel, cheese, and chocolate. This allows you to leave these kinds of food without worrying they'll dry out from too much heat.

Simply add the weight of the food you're defrosting, and the oven sets the optimal defrost time. This takes off guesswork when thawing food and ensures your food is evenly defrosted even on the insides.
