A Consumer reports recommended buy. The only other microwaves that were recommended were in the $400+ range. Best buy had this model for $50 less than other stores! Smoking deal. The instructions for installing with a ducted vent said to remove the exhaust fan assembly and rotate it as the microwave ships configured for the recirculating exhaust option. This was incorrect. The microwave was configured for the up-vented option. Clipping the corners of the back-flow damper solved some rattling noises...Glad I checked this before it was all installed...
What's great about it: a solid all-around choice
What's not so great: installation instructions confusing and, in parts, wrong.
