My last three microwaves have been Panasonic, their door/latch mechanisms have all ended up breaking after 2-3 years so thought i'd give LG a try this time, glad I did this thing is impressive (and quiet). The door handle on this thing is basically the whole door, it's integrated vertically into the door at the end, it's very easy to open and close, and feels well built. Cooking in this Microwave is far more accurate than any I've previously owned, took me a bit to get used to it.
