Keeps out of the way, great height when you need it, check that your microwave will work with this
I'd previously bought a less expensive knock-off and after 3 of the magnets fell off, I figured I'd just get the real thing.For several reasons, I'm so happy that I did.Love this because:- the magnets are either much stronger or placed better, because I don't have trouble getting it to hold. Could just be a matter of the specific nature of how the inside of our microwave is designed, but I used to have to fiddle with the old cover to get the magnets perfectly aligned to the inside. This one allows me to just sort of flip it up and it stays put.- the inside height gives a good inch more clearance so it doesn't touch your food. Call me lazy, but using the other one meant that I also had to wash it after every use. I can count on one hand the times I needed to wash this one - - - and that's only because of splatters and not because of direct contact with the food it was covering.FYI:- the diameter is smaller than our previous one. Rather than sit on the microwave turntable with the dish completely covered as our old one did, this cover sits on the rim of the plate itself. This matters not at all to us, but it's something to mention.- not all microwave ovens will work with magnets. Got this for our Whirlpool microwave and it works great. Bought another for our second home that has a GE Cafe Advantium microwave and magnets do not attract to the interior of that one. Check the interior of your microwave oven before ordering this.Not so great:- I only mention this because I'm looking for something to put on the "con" list, but I initially thought that because this cover is collapsible, that I could stick it up and collapse it in one motion. It wouldn't take up so much space for those times I didn't need to use it.Unfortunately it takes 2 hands and a bit of work to collapse and open the cover.Again, this is far from being an issue, as I just leave it up and open, but it's just something to mention.Overall - - - very happy.
