Customer Reviews

Rated 1 out of 5 by Alana S from Unacceptable marketing My microwave is nice, I like the size, works fine. The problem is that it was marketed as being whisper quiet. I bought the pricier model because of that feature. We paid to have outdoor venting installed when it was installed. It was loud. I called customer service with concerns about the noise and installation troubleshooting. The supervisor suggested that I could reduce the sound by turning off the fan. I requested service since I was sure my microwave fan was not whisper quiet. The service technician verified that installation and operation were correct but that my unit did not have the whisper quiet setting. I would like to be contacted for resolution of this problem.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lizzyb4 from Love this low profile over the stove microwave I wanted a over the stove microwave but didn't have room above the stove for a regular size microwave. Then I found this one. The bonus is the fan that comes with it which is great. The LED interior light is a wonderful plus and the light underneath lights up my stove top with a nice light. Everything about this microwave is wonderful. The reheat cycle takes longer that most but when it is done the food is heated through without drying it out and no cold spots. All I can say is that I am spoiled to have such a wonderful appliance.

Rated 3 out of 5 by PSDOUG from Love the slim profile We had our new over the range microwave installed about a month ago. Overall we love the unit. It does everything we need it to do and has plenty of capacity. The fan has for settings, Hi, Med-Hi, Med-Lo, Lo and Off. Unfortunately from a noise level perspective there is very little difference between Hi and Lo. Although it is quieter than our old unit, it is still noisier than expected given the advertising .

Rated 5 out of 5 by Terry & Vic from Great New Look My husband and I purchased this item about 1 month ago and it was delivered on Aug. 16th. What a great look the low profile microwave above the range. The only issue I have is that the beeping sound, when an item is finished, is so quiet, that I can just about hear it. I've done everything the manual says and I even called KitchenAid, but can't raise the volume. Also, the fan is SO LOUD, even on low speed. The Maytag store doesn't know how to fix my 2 issues, since this low profile is new on the market. I still love it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by jfold from Fits tight space much better than expected! We've always wanted to put a microwave over the range, but in our kitchen standard units leave a foot or less of clearance. This unit looks great, is highly functional and despite its shallow height, and it is able to fit nearly everything I would ever put in it. The LED lights are bright and cast a nice glow on my cooktop, and the exhaust fan is completely adequate.

Rated 4 out of 5 by RonD5W26+ from Great Look We purchased this combination microwave and hood because it fully covers the cooking range (unlike the old one which only covered 50% of the range). It really improves the look of the kitchen...making it look bigger. Installation instructions however are confusing and inconsistent or contradictory in some cases. That is what keeps me from scoring this review higher. The idea of using the backing plate as a template is great on first blush, but it actually got confusing in practical application. I also went on YouTube and looked at the installation video (albeit for the similar Whirlpool unit) but those do not match up with the written directions with the KitchenAid unit. I consider myself a competent DIYer; have installed more than one of these types of microwave combinations, but I have to say that it was frustrating. Adding diagrams to the installation sheet only compounded the confusion. it could have and should have been clearer. Add to that that this is a heavy unit, it is probably not a project for a 1st timer. Even with all of that, I would probably still buy this unit for it's looks. There are lots of cooking options that we're still working through, but it appears to work well.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Amber155 from Looks & Works Great! This microwave looks great. It cooks well and has lots of options for reheating and such. The light is nice and bright, and has two settings. The vent fan is powerful and has four settings. It was a great addition to our kitchen.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Tlovingly from Low Profile Microwave *plus and minus* We have been using this microwave for about a month. Our previous microwave was an inexpensive counter top model. The low profile is exactly what we were looking for and looks sleek and stylish above our stove. Everything we have heated fits nicely, so no regrets going to a smaller size. The best feature is the bright underneath lights that brighten the entire kitchen when lit. The only thing we have noticed that is negative is it seems to heat slower, or take longer, than our previous microwave. Beverages take 90 seconds, versus 60 seconds in our older microwave. Warming a small bowl of leftovers takes 4-6 minutes. We did have an an electrician pull a new wire and plug with the correct wattage. We do love the new microwave and are adjusting baking time accordingly.

Rated 5 out of 5 by NikkiM from Perfect I kind of love this microwave. The design from the outside is so simple and pleasing. It has all the features I need (including a melt/soften button!), an amazingly bright light and a fan with multiple settings. Have never cared much about a microwave one way or another, but this ibr is pretty great. I would highly recommend!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Sonjadavies from So compact and sleek We needed a small microwave to accommodate a pot filler. This microwave is only 2 inches smaller inside than a bulky full size microwave. This was the perfect fit for my beautiful new kitchen.
