The LG product broke within 6 weeks. I called Best Buy to get return authorization and was told since I didn't buy the Best Buy extended warranty they refused to replace it or give a refund. Best Buy will not back what they sell after 30 days without the extended warranty being purchased. I called LG who initially told me to take it a nearby appliance repair company for warranty repairs. A later call to LG was met with their refusal to repair it. LG then said "it was not economically advantageous for them to do so". LG also refused to replace the unit. LG refused to refund cost unless I bought another LG microwave. This is not what I was told by LG originally. Numerous calls to LG and emails were responded to by short canned answers and no one there was authorized to make exceptions to their policy in order to make a customer happy. It is obvious LG is not a...

It's sleek.  It's fast.  It's easy to clean.  I felt so sorry for my 'X' I even bought him one. — This microwave oven really works.  It cooks in two thirds the time of any other one I've tried.  What a relief to know it will just get the job done. — Get one today! — Since I'm cost-conscious, I did NOT buy the Genius model.  For under $150 this one is the best. —  You'll love it. —...

I will never buy another maytag anything. Theone good thing about this item is that it went in easy and looked...

Also, my wife really liked the 30 second button on the old microwave and after a bit of research it turns out that very few brands have this feature. Those that do include GE, some Sharp, Whirlpool, and KitchenAid. We pruchased the Whirlpool because of the style/design (stainless steel, model MT4155SPS) and the price (KitchenAid is nice, but the microwaves are very expensive/over-priced). This microwave has a stainless steel door and front control panel and then the top and sides are black and blue LED on the control panel. The additional size (1.5 Cu. Ft.) and power (1100 watts) are welcomed especially since this microwave doesn't really take up that much more physical countertop space than a 0.7 Cu. Ft. one does. Unfortunately, the GE had quick start...

The Panasonic NN-T945SFX - 1500 watts inverter oven replaces our last Panasonic microwave oven which is now 19 years old.  Our old one still works but we have to jiggle the door to get it to run. — We looked for another Panasonic because of our experience with Panasonic products and because Consumer Reports gave it its highest rating.  We had to shop several stores to find it but were thrilled to locate it.  It cost $155 and is worth every penny.  It has a Breakfast setting on the sensor pad which makes perfect oatmeal and a Beverage setting to make a perfect mug of hot tea.  We haven't used the Popcorn, Side Dish, or Dinner settings yet but have used Lunch/snack and the timer and power sensors.  The manual has many cooking suggestions, microwave shortcuts, and a few recipes.  One feature of the oven is that you can use the clock as a kitchen...

Not only does it heat more thoroughly then my old microwave but the re-heat and thawing options are better. I also own other Kenmore appliances and haven't been disappointed...

This microwave is more than sufficient to meet all standard microwaving needs. A fancy, high-powered unit is really unnecessary. This little machine will do everything most people need a microwave for....

It works great. Easy to program. Never have a problem. (at least not with the microwave). I am not very good at programing things and this one is extremely easy to use. My kitchen is very small and it fits nicely on the countertop. It does not need any special recepticles to plug into. Has a turntable and lights up when in use. Beeps to let you know it is done. —...

This version is near the top of the line from Kenmore. The Electronic controls are intuitive and with the polished stainless steel front it is very easy on the eyes as well. I was able to install it myself in the existing over range space occupied by my previous microwave. It took about an hour or so. We use it for cooking vegitables, defrosting and popcorn. We don't cook in it really it is just for side dishes etc. —  Quality Issues: Almost immediately we had trouble with the translating rotating tray, I is really cool if it works, but the dish inside was constantly popping off the guide and making a racket. We had a service technician come out and there was a modification available that he installed which fixed the issue with out any further problems. — More significantly, and the reason for me writing this review, there is a stainless steel part on the front which runs the entire top of the unit, Part # 3531W1A019A, It has...
