I'm in the market for a microwave - over range. I'm considering GE in the link below. My only real concern is the lack of a keypad although I can't say too often I find my self needing to heat something for exactly 11 / 17 /26 seconds. Basically you'd push the add 30 seconds button most of the time and turn the dial to adjust in 15 second increments and above 6 minutes it goes to 30 seconds.Anyone have a recommendation of something they've purchased recently?

I prefer the number pad style

I believe the place I'm renting right now has a previous version of that one you linked with the number pad. It's nice and makes a proper little air curtain around the stove if you turn on the fan to better isolate the heat/smoke/mistakes. It feels built rather well, too.
