I have had this microwave for two years now. It is easy to use, works just fine and looks nice and sleek in the kitchen. I use it mostly for heating up food rather than cooking it, and for popcorn, etc- fast things. I have large fingers and have no problem with the size of the "buttons" . My last one, an IntelliChef, was more expensive than this and now I wonder why I spent all that money on it ( it started smoking after 6 years of use) when this Sharp would have been fine. I just edited this review (today's date is 12/7/2009) as my original review (Nov. 2007) was written shortly after I bought it. I am glad I bought this.
