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 5 out of 5 by Hilltop house from I love the minimum footprint! I love this overhead microwave! It’s perfect for my purposes. It isn’t big enough for bigger cooking projects, but perfect for me. I’ve gained about 6” or a bit more of space to use my stove better from the classic ones. I can not only reach my back burners easier, this micro gives me headroom to see in the pots and pans cooking, I get to see more of my decorative backsplash AND easier to clean it. This micro looks very nice as well and not ‘blocky’ like the classic sizes available. The only thing I wish this had was a setting for an auto on/off nightlight setting. Otherwise I’m very happy.

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 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 1 out of 5 by xyzd from Didnt work from day one We bought this and when it was installed, It wouldn't turn on, completely dead. We waited for the store to call us back so we could have it exchanged. We called at least 6 times and finally they sent out a repairman. The repairman said he had to order all new internal parts. We waited and nothing happened for 3 weeks. The store where we bought it said they were waiting on KitchenAid to make a decision on whether to replace it or not. Finally the store replaced it and said when our old one was repaired they would use it as a used demo. The new one works fine but we had to wait for so long to get any action at all. I am disappointed in both the store and KitchenAid for such slow action.

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 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.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Selborne from Good as a recirculator Replaced a full sized Viking OTR. This has a much better filtration and re-circulation system. LED lighting is great, also. Form factor leaves a lot more room over the stove.

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.
