Cuisinart CMW-200FR 1.2ft Microwave Oven

I replaced my sharp convection microwave with this because I couldn't find another sharp from a reputable company name that I recognized. I would much prefer a new sharp as I had 10 years of great service with it and used the convection a lot. I wouldn't usually make a purchase with the lower rating on this but I'm very aware that convection cooking is still new to a lot of people and it takes a while to get good at it and/or do it sucessfully. This unit looks nice although it does show fingerprints but that's easy to deal with. I hate the door latch because it feels very unstable but who knows, it may last the life of the unit. The glass turntable is nice, my sharp had a metal one I kept covered with parchment paper circles which kept it clean. I've just begun to cook with the convection and I cooked something that took 18 mins in my sharp but had to cooked 9-11 mins longer in this unit. I'm not sure what that's about yet but it disappointed me. I bake cookies and pretty much everything else in the convection so there will be a lot of adjusting times it seems. I'm very savvy with convection cooking and prefer it. It took a lot less baking time in my sharp versus a regular oven. I'm usually comfortable with Cuisinart because my food processor is 10 years old and still going strong. Also my Cuisinart Stand mixer is 5 years old and works great. Both of those appliances have motors built like tanks so I took a chance with this unit. In my sharp you had to place a silicone or other pie plate upside down to pop popcorn so I appreciate not having to do that with this Cuisinart. It pops great just on the glass tray. I do miss the interactive display on the sharp. In convection cooking I have found its just not necessary to preheat at any time and everything previously came out wonderful in my sharp. I just popped it in and turned it on. I'm really uncomfortable about the much longer cooking time for my first few items but I plan to really test this unit for convection cooking with mostly baking. I don't cook meats in the convection because I hate the cleanup but I may try a chicken. Also the microwave is supposed to be 1000 watts. My older sharp was only 900 and heated a bit faster than this unit but it's close enough. I plan on reporting back after I've used the unit more. So far I can only justify 3 stars because the convection took so long to cook but it does cook so I hope I can up the rating when I'm more familiar with the unit. Update:7-23-17 After using the convection and microwave constantly for several months I am very pleased. It does take a little more time on both the microwave and convection that what is recommended for foods but it performs very well. I would purchase this appliance again. I feel the complaints about units not working are most likely because something was damaged in shipping. Boxes get tossed a lot in shipping.
