This is a better microwave technology...
I've been using this for 2 months. This microwave cooks way better then any I've ever used or owned. Food doesn't explode or pop and heats pretty evenly. I'm impressed. I had a GE profile that was pretty good at cooking but failed. I replaced that with a Kenmore Elite thinking all microwaves were just microwaves. I spent 2 years with that Kenmore eating mildy warm food with cold spots on extremely hot dishes and constantly being frustrated. I would have given this microwave 4 stars because the trim kit is so terrible to install and its not quite the right fit for the microwave, though it works and is acceptable. Another annoyance is when you hit the 30 sec quick button you still have to hit start. BUT because the microwave does its core job of cooking so well it's still at the very least 5 star. I don't know if its the inverter, or the cyclonic jargon, but this is the evolution step that all microwaves need to take.
EDIT UPDATE 08-2017: Changing from 5 star to 2 star. Microwave failed after about 6-7 months. It no longer heated anything though appeared to function normally. Repair was a huge pain as we had to unmount it, drive it a very sketchy place, and leave it for a few days. It was now fixed at no charge, but in the months since then it doesn't cook near as evenly. It's extremely aggressive at heating now and nukes things in like 60% of the time it use to. Things pop and explode now. Disk come out burning hot. Sucks now.
