the Compact Wave™ Soft Close

The defrost setting finally works without partially cooking the edges, which is a huge win for meal prep. The soft-close door is a small luxury that makes the kitchen feel quieter. It fits perfectly on my counter without hogging space.

I was pleasantly surprised at how even the defrosting is on this microwave—no more cold spots in the middle of my leftovers. It's also quieter than my old one, and the 25L capacity fits a dinner plate perfectly.

The soft-close door is such a simple thing but it makes a huge difference, no more loud slams in the morning. I just used the defrost setting on some chicken and it came out perfectly even, not partially cooked. The 25L capacity is just right for our small kitchen without feeling cramped.
