We wanted dual inputs of both wireless and hard wired and this does it. It is smaller than the old unit and easy to use. It does not have a lit panel in front so sometimes we don't know if it is on, but the TV knows.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: It is faster than I need.
What's not so great: Nothing
I cringed when the old wifi router died because it had been fairly complex to set up. This one was quite easy and works very well over a fairly long range.

What's great about it: It heats better than the other microwave which died after 4 years
What's not so great: Heating seems uneven.
While this microwave heats things faster than our previous 1100 watt microwave, the heating seems uneven which means shorter times and more turning.
In addition, the light doesn't light up the food very well, so it is difficult to see what is happening.
One feature I like is being able to add 30 seconds whether I have entered a time or used a 30 second or 1 minute button.
This product is or has... Shortcut keys that save time, The power to cook quickly, Acceptable level of noise, Easy to use controls
About me... Budget Conscious, Brand conscious, avid cook, small family

What's great about it: Eliminated virus and restored software
I purchases this with WebRoot security and they both cover three machines. I had to have one machine fixed anyway and think it is an excellent value. Viruses are not going to get any easier and this allows maintenance for a fixed cost.

What's great about it: This Security is more sensitive about possible breaches than its competitors.
What's not so great: When it detects something, it gives the user a yes or no situation. The no closes the browser.
I found this to be easy to update and to request scans. It is active during operation and pops up warnings and advice.

can a over the oven model be used as a counter top model?

I believe it is possible, but it won't look very good.
