I purchased the 1.1 Cu. Ft. version of this microwave. It does not include the MicroCrisp feature. Appearance-wise, I like this microwave. It matches my kitchen d����cor and looks relatively sleek and classic. I dislike the thick grooves where the stainless steel body overlaps the perimeter of the door, since debris and dust will likely build up there. I'm worried about gunk collecting in various areas of the microwave. The touch pad feels nice and is intuitive, and the large push-button to open the microwave door works well. I would have preferred a handle instead. The push-button also shows fingerprints big time, so I know I'm going to be wiping it down constantly. Compared to my last microwave, I can see inside much better. Unfortunately, the microwave requires a lot of clearance on the back, sides, and top, which doesn't work with my minimal counter space. The instructions are quite good and cover what can and cannot be microwaved, as well as some basic troubleshooting. The microwave is audible when cooking, but it functions well. However, I encountered a fatal flaw almost immediately with the Waveguide Cover, which I accidentally removed. The brand's customer service was helpful in resolving the issue. Overall, I'm relatively impressed with this nice-looking and nicely functioning microwave, although I've been able to nitpick it.
