Recalling how fast Amazon ships on book orders I naively believed the same would apply to a microwave oven. Forget it. And not only was delivery slow it was late. A product made in Japan was shipped to Los Angeles from New York state. Go figure. Does Amazon provide this kind of shipping info before you order? No. Now to top it all off the product is flawed: the exterior of the control keypad is apparently a piece of plastic stuck onto the underlying surface, which has since developed air bubbles that will not go away. It looks shoddy; it feels shoddy. Recommendations: 1) Don't buy small appliances through Amazon; 2) Don't buy this microwave oven.

Our microwave went out and this was the replacement. It is just what we wanted and needed. The company was excellent to deal with.

I had the older version of this microwave. I owned that for about 8 years and the panel with the digital buttons, numbers burned out. So I could never see what time I programmed in. The door kept getting stuck closed too. For the price and the wear, it is a great product, that is why I chose to buy another one. I have had it for 6 months or so and it is so similar to my other one, I needed no instruction. It is very easy to use, and durable. Very good power for a smallish microwave. Go for it!!

If you use microwave oven to defrost and you'd like to enter the time and power level directly, good luck. On my old oven, I go Time -> 2:00 -> Power -> 3 -> Start. On this oven, the power level can't be entered directly. You have to press the Power Level 7 or 8 times to get it down to 30%. Terrible usability.

I mostly liked this author before, but it *seems* that this author has taken to writing "Customer Reviews" of his/her? own works! That's pretty darn lame. He/she should at least acknowledge their status as author in the review, if they had any integrity.

This is the heelball sequel to my favorite cdrom, Guitar Method 1. It shares many songs with the original version! Why would anyone want to buy the same information twice?I wish I could say what it does have is the worst part, but it isn't. This software doesn't include the animated fret board. This is a moving picture that shows you exactly how to play a song. It was the reason I bought the cd I was stunned that the best feature from the first edition was omitted!Even so, there are new techniques to be learned here. Even so, their Blues or Guitar Songs offerings are probably better picks. Less expensive too!!s
