I don't mind it... I mean that in the sense that if I was stuck on a desert island and all I could eat was popcorn, I'd eat it, I wouldn't starve to death.
it's huge, bout 3ftx3ftx3ft, our one works by burning oil constantly and because it's baisically a big lump of iron, the heat is transfered into the oven so things get cooked, slowly..............
The only thing my wife, son and I use the microwave for is reheating of leftovers, popcorn, heating water for tea, melting or softening butter, and heating canned items and soups....
