What's great about it: Setting for melt
What's not so great: Nothing
This is a great microwave for a person who does not cook on the stove (at all, ever). A lot of frozen foods call for 1100 watts, and this one really does a good job at that. All of the settings work like they should, and I'm so pleased.

What's great about it: Size, cooking
What's not so great: Incessant beeping
This microwave, like mosts, beeps when it is done cooking. UNLIKE virtually all others, it keeps beeping until you stop it or open the door. It says, "ignore everthing in the world except me because I'm more important".
It cooks okay however it disrupts all other activities in the kitchen and makes me want to throw a brick through it. After 3 months, I'm about ready to throw it away.
This product is or has... able to drive you into a rage
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have been using this item for about 6 months with no problems. The unit is powerful and quiet. Primarily used as second unit in the family room. Great for popcorn during movies.

Plastic ring to rotate turntable was broken . It had to have been broken when it was packed by the manufacturer since the box was sealed.

This has to be the most annoying microwave oven ever built. The thing beeps every 10 seconds if you do not remove your food from the microwave instantly. Also, there is not the ability to have the timer and the microwave operating at the same time, which I used very frequently in the past. Finally, the heating seems very uneven, with parts of the food being cooked so hot that it overflows the container and makes a big mess in the microwave while other parts are still cold. The "sensor cooking" is also very poor. The timer starts immediately, indicating to me that the whole process is just a timed one rather than any sort of sensor. The soften/melt setting for butter only melts it to a pool of butter rather than softening it like our old microwave did. We are currently in the process of buying a new microwave and donating this one to charity, despite the fact that it is only 4 months old and still "works." Very disappointing.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: it does what it supposed to do and all the above
What's not so great: nothing yet
Very quiet. Great price! Does what a microwave should do. Nice features with the sensor cooking-especially for the cost and size! I looked at other more costly, name brand items and thought that I was going cheap but this is really a nice, large better, microwave. The profile doesn't get all fingerprinted like A LOT of black appliances do. The one and only thing I think is odd is that it has this cool feature to "melt" stuff. BUT you have to know the code for what you are melting if you want it to do it right, i.e. butter vs chocolate.
After my costly kitchen remodel with name brand appliances that turned out to be junk, I bought this Frigidaire and am really happy with it. I hope it lasts a long time. I will be being more Frigidaire in the future for sure now.
