Rated 2 out of 5 by Lakelady22 from Looks good but lacks power and features I bought this built-in microwave to go into my new cabinets next to matching double ovens. In general, it looks good. There are things about the microwave that are less than impressive though. It is supposed to have 1000 watts of cooking power but seems to be under powered compared to other microwaves we have owned. Also, there is a dial for setting cooking time rather than having a key pad with numbers like most microwaves. The dial just seems/looks a llittle "old school" or "inexpensive". Overall, this product just doesn't stack up to our other experiences with Kitchenaid products so is a bit of a surprise. And this is a very expensive microwave, so we just expected more.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Stan from Exceeds Our Expectations My wife and I have owned many microwaves over the years, but this one truly exceeded our expectations. It is not only a beautiful addition to our kitchen but for a built-in, it is extremely easy to install and operate. Depending on how you were going to install the unit, it came with the necessary easy to understand instructions and trim pieces. For us, it just slipped right into the cabinet we had made based on the provided specification. As a matter of fact, my wife and I installed it ourselves. As previously stated we could not be happier with the ease of operation and its' performance. We highly recommend this product to anyone wanting to upgrade their kitchen.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mr Scott! from Awesome 24" Built in! Recently bought this microwave oven along with a single wall oven, to help with replacing an aging 24" double wall oven. Couldn't modify the cabinet space to use a 27" and 24" appliances aren't that easy to find anymore. This fit the bill. Looks great and works great. Stainless on the inside too. Has a cool down feature that lets the fan blow for a few minutes after a long cooking time. Gets all that moisture out. Has 1 button settings for reheat, defrost and cook. You have to learn those of course, but it's all written on the top inside of the door for you in case you forget :) So far, we are very satisfied with it.

Rated 1 out of 5 by GlennB from Motherboard failed in less than 3years of low use I foolishly purchased this premium Microwave because of what was presented as it’s substantial construction and high quality. It has been in use 2 + years and was manufactured in August 2015. In September 2018 after behaving strangely for a couple months, it suffered a complete failure. Not even an interior light left of a $1500 item and well out of warranty. Service tech said the main circuit board containing the ICU has failed and a replacement was not readily available. Said Kitchen Aid is only obligated to have parts available for 2 years. If a new board can’t be found, I will have to remodel the kitchen cabinets or buy another one of these pieces of junk. Buyer Beware!!!!!

Rated 3 out of 5 by Tracy from Missing Features We had a similar Kitchen-Aid microwave (in fact, I thought it was the same one) in our previous home. However, when we purchased this model, I was unaware it was missing a few basic features the older microwave had. First, there is no simple kitchen timer. The timer only works if you are cooking something in the microwave. Second, the interior light is so dim, you can't see if your liquids are boiling. Third, if you are cooking something beyond 3 minutes, you cannot go up in increments smaller than 30. Seems silly, but my son's favorite frozen meal cooks perfectly at 4 min 15 seconds but gets slightly 'crusty' at 4 min 30 seconds. Otherwise, it cooks well and is a nice looking piece of equipment. If you don't care about having a kitchen timer, light or smaller increments to cook with, then you'll probably be very happy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Runninfool from Works well This microwave is beautiful to look at and easy to use for quick meal and beverage re-heats. (One reviewer noted that it does not pop popcorn. In my experience, it pops popcorn just fine, although a few kernels are left unpopped. But I think this would be true of any microwave.) This microwave was expensive, but it is actually one of the only built-in microwaves on the market designed to fit 27" cabinets. The included trim kits for 27" and 30" cabinets were a bonus, as many built-in microwaves do not include these. My husband and I installed the appliance ourselves and are pleased with it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by mhoppe72 from Love It! We went back and fourth between this modle and the drawer style. We love this unit as we have the matching refrigerator and oven and the handles look fantastic. I like the functionality of a standard micro over the drawer style and this unit fits the bill. You do have to bend down a littyle but thats ok for as little as we use the micro. The kids have no issues with it. Love KitchenAid.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Fred from Disappointing This unit has the flip down door which makes it extremely difficult for some people to be able to reach all the way to the back to clean it. I have to question Quality Control as well because a unit that lists for over $1100 you would think that at least they could put the KitchenAid nameplate on straight instead of at an angle. The very first time that we used this oven, the timer defaults back to 05 seconds on the time cycle instead of being all zeros. As a long time KitchenAid user, I'm not impressed at all with this oven even though we waited for over 10 weeks to get it.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Queenie from New House I was not advised that I should not place it above the oven since it is too high for a person my height to open the front opening door and be able to reach inside. A side opening door is much better even though the front opening door is more stylish.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Judy P. from Microwave Oven - 1000 Watts I didn't realize when I bought this microwave that it was only 1000 watts (thought 1100 was the smallest made). I'm very disappointed in it - doesn't have enough power to pop popcorn thoroughly and if you look at the back of most frozen entrees, they say not to cook in anything under 1100 watts. 1000 watt shouldn't be called "high power" since it's definitely not. The microwave I replaced was 1200 watts. I would not recommend this to anyone.
