I returned it because I didn't like the press button to open, bought one with a open handle instead

was not size I thought it was

Ok microwave. I bought Cuisinart brand because I thought it was top notch - yeah this is nothing but a basic microwave. Powerful it is - probably one of the highest wattage countertop editions so it will zap you food real fast. Unfortunately you cannot use kitchen timer and run microwave at the same time so don't rely on this microwave for timing functions if you need to microwave something at the same time. Guess I was spoiled by my old Frigidaire over the range microwave that could do both at the same time. Not worth Cuisinart name - this is no better than cheaper microwaves.

Pros: This microwave has all great features I was looking for such as inverter technology, auto sensor reheat, soften/melt, capacity and yet compact size compared to other units of same capacity. It is quite when running and evenly heats food. Cons: Big negative is that it's construction doesn't prevent home wifi disruption. If you have any wifi devices in the general area of this microwave when it runs, it will knock out their 2.4 GHz connection. I have a repeater in my living room next door to kitchen and it goes off-line as does all devices connected to it and every time microwave runs, I then have to unplug extender and plug back in for it to work again. So if you don't have any wifi devices in the area then nothing to worry about.

I LIKE everything about it but two things, the locking door, and the keypad/LED read-out. It heats well, is powerful, quiet, easy to clean. I HATE the door locking mechanism, which is mechanical and hard to press in, with no mechanical advantage; I see no reason for a lock. And the lock must be unlocked electronically, and that 'button' is tiny and in a crowded location on the keypad. The keypad is small, and the LED readout smaller and gives very little information on the programming.

A little too noisy and lock/unlock feature on door is a pain and seems totally unnecessary! I’ve never bought a microwave oven before that had such a useless feature!

I have had mine for less than 4 months and it doesn't heat anymore. When it worked, it was great. I will say that customer service with Cusiniart was wonderful and I am getting a full refund because it has been less than a year from purchase. They didn't make it hard on me and responded quickly.

bought this microwave. Exactly in the 13th month aftre I bought the microwave malfuntioned and does not stop even after door is opened. I thought I will get a replacement door switch and repair myself. To my surprise, there are no replacement parts sold either by Cuisinart or others when I tried using the model number. The microwave is sitting in my basement and hoping to fix it one day.

Doesn’t Work! Started with E5 ERROR code. Called customer service and no help at all.

We had the Microwave oven only 3 days and it stopped working.
