Rated 5 out of 5 by Cookie-lady from Great product We just finished with a kitchen remodel the end of March, love the sleek look, the performance of this microwave is awesome, love the sensor cook option, it cooks potatoes and sweet potatoes perfectly, This option also stops automatically for you to check on them to make sure that they don’t over cook Wow! Problem solved!!! There’s only one thing I recommend is that you install some type of LED light to light up the cooking options that are on the outside with the clock, you have to bend down to see the different cooking options clearly, which is a little bit inconvenient, otherwise this is a great product, keep providing us with great products and customer service.

Rated 4 out of 5 by sarahmac from Fits nicely I bought this because I wanted to avoid the over the range microwave that doesn't vent well. This fits nicely into a base cabinet designed for the microwave drawer. My only complaint is that the buttons are difficult to see without bending down. It would also help if they were illuminated from behind. I'm not sure if there are any models available with these features, but that is probably the only change I would make if I had it to do over.

Rated 2 out of 5 by LynneRichmknd from Door won’t close without 3 tries This microwave worked for a couple of months and then it started not closing on the first try. We have to do some stupid back and forth EVERYTIME we open and close it!!!! It is ridiculous! I have searched and searched and found nothing to help us troubleshoot this unit. It sinhaedwired in the island so we can’t get into it without an electtician. I’m so disappointed with it. We flooded in Harvey and it was the splurge I allowed myself when we rebuilt. It has been very disheartening. Everything I have in my kitchen is Kitchenaide and this has been the only problem. I would not suggest this item unless someone can give me an idea of how to reset this thing.

Rated 3 out of 5 by arodriguez522 from Good, but needs design improvements I love that this microwave fits hidden under the counter and we don't have to bend down to see in, however, it would be so much more convenient if the buttons lit up so we could see them easily. We still have to bend down to see what buttons we are pushing, which is what we were trying to avoid with a drawer model. Please note it is also not as tall on the inside as a regular microwave, so some items (i.e. food in microwaveable pouches - rice, soups, etc.) will not stand up.

Rated 3 out of 5 by sledhead36 from Great look, works well, why no back lit buttons? I recently bought an entire Kitchen Aid package, I love all the appliances except for this one. The buttons are so hard to read in dim light. Why are they not back lit, so you can see them? I would give this products a 5 if they did not omit that one feature available on any other brand.

Rated 1 out of 5 by lore47 from Drawer door faulty & didn't heat at first We had it installed on November 19, 2018 by our contractor. It didn't do the one job it's supposed to do- heat up food! So KitchenAid sent a service to take it to their shop and repair it. Then in January 2019 the door closes and pops open again. So the only way to get it to work is to manually push it in. I called KitchenAid again and they just want to repair it again. This should not be happening with a brand new $1600 appliance!

Rated 4 out of 5 by M. Gus from Stylish, Cool, But Tough to Read I love all of the features and am still getting used to selecting the appropriate function vs. just nuking something for a minute at a time until its hot. The sensor functions seem to do the perfect job of reheating and not drying out the food. The main complaint it the inability to read the buttons. In a product that is likely going to be mounted well below eye level, why would this not be backlit. I know you can program it with the drawer open and use the light from inside the drawer. But this still is very difficult to see the buttons.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Belfast from Only one problem, but it's a big one This is our first under counter microwave. Previous above counter models received plenty of light from the ceiling lights, but now that the microwave is under the counter, the ceiling lights don't light it. Only when we tried to use it for the first time did we realize that the only button that is back-lit is the timer. All others are simply written on to the front, but not backlit. We can't see any of them, and have to use a flashlight. I can't tell you how frustrating this is! We love everything else about it.

Rated 1 out of 5 by LL57 from 1 month out and already broke. I have to wait 10 days for a service guy to come see “if my warranty applies”!! 2 robodials to get to a person— demand all my model/serial number even though I registered everything already! The call for help took over 20 minutes!! 4 hour window to wait for technician.
