Is 950 watts enough for a countertop microwave?

Yes. 950 watts is above the 700-800 watt compact class and reheats and defrosts quickly. It is below the 1,000-1,200 watt premium models, so dense foods take a little longer.

What size plate fits inside?

The turntable is 12.75 inches across, so standard 10 to 11-inch dinner plates fit with room to spare. A 9x13-inch dish fits only if it clears the door and cavity depth.

Does it have sensor cooking?

No. It uses time and weight defrost plus convenience controls, not a humidity sensor. You set the time or weight yourself.

How does it compare with a 0.7 cu. ft. compact?

It is wider and deeper but holds larger dishes and heats faster. If counter space is tight, a 0.7 cu. ft. unit saves room at the cost of capacity and power.

Can I turn off the child lock?

Yes. The two-step child lock can be deactivated when not needed, and the control lockout prevents accidental key presses.

The microwave, a glass turntable and ring, and a quick start guide. No trim kit is included; it is a countertop unit.
