MY GE MICROWAVE HAS GOT TO BE THE EASIEST TO OPERATE. THE KIDS CAN DO IT BECAUSE IT IS EASY TO READ AND UNDERSTAND. IT IS SAFE. AND VERY INEXPENSIVE. I HAVE HAD MINE FOR OVER 6 YEARS AND IT IS STILL LIKE NEW.  I COOK, BAKE, REHEAT, MAKE POPCORN WHICH THE SETTING IS PERFECT FOR. NOT HARDLY ANY SEEDS IN THE BAG BECAUSE IT POPS SO WELL.  IT'S A GOOD STARTER  AND DOESN'T TAKE UP A LOT OF SPACE.
