I have one and it is drop-dead gorgeous. Nothing spills. The problem is cleaning the beast. Microwave ovens are disgusting if they're not cleaned after every food explosion. My husband is a pain when it comes to putting lids on bowls and dishes before nuking them. I'm ready to shove him into the microwave!!! Cleaning these is not a day in the park. The bottom of the tray is fine and so are the sides, but behind the moveable tray there is ANOTHER tray way back there that you can't really reach. Let's not even talk about cleaning the ceiling of the foolish thing. You can't see up there so you don't know if you've gotten it all. I hate microwaves because they're so grungy and the stench in them is impossible to get out no matter how many water/lemon/cloves concoctions you boil in them. If you're highly disciplined and you know you will cover EVERYTHING (even coffee), go for it. Otherwise, stick with the ugly countertop-hogging models that you can at least clean routinely and have a good result.
