Rated 1 out of 5 by Markle from Having heating issues I am having issues with this unit heating evenly EX. cooking bacon like my wife has done for the past 30 years in a microwave either Kenmore or KitchenAid and never had a problem now with this new unit half the bacon is cooked and the other half is raw called the hotline and the lady had no clue.Prior to that tried to cook a frozen item based on package instructions like I have done numerous times in the past and it wouldn't even melt the cheese. P.S. The only difference is this unit is a convection unit ! Maybe someone from KitchenAid that knows more about these units will contact me. I wont hold my breath.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Rich G from Beautiful, accurate, and stylish microwave! This unit finishes off my kitchen nicely. I love the look of the KitchenAid black stainless series, and the matching handle with signature red end cap is the nut. The microwave itself is precise, with all the buttons, features, fan speeds, and lighting you need. This unit also has a convection feature with a removable metal shelf so it's actually another actual oven not just microwave. Just wish I didn't have to remove the metal shelf when not in convention mode - why not manufacture the metal shelf in microwave-safe materials? Anyway, not a big deal just won't use that feature that much. Overall this is quality at its finest and would buy it again and again.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Bngo from Worthless user Guide DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT, unless you are psychic. We just bought it and discovered that the users guide and instructions that come with it are essentially worthless. There is no detailed manual tha identifies the features of the oven and how to use them. For example, when you press the defrost button, it brings up 4 presets (to defrost meat, bread, etc.) There is no apparent way to defrost manually, say for example to defrost a Healthy choice meal. If there is, the User Guide DOESN'T SAY. I contacted Kitchenaide chat support and all they did was tell me that the user guide is all there is. We are deeply disappointed. Same problemk with the matching dishwasher.

Rated 2 out of 5 by waterw from It is a lovely looking GUTLESS WONDER This microwave is very nice aesthetically; but beauty is only skin deep. From a utilitarian perspective, I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND it. (1) It is grossly underpowered (especially given its price point). It takes at least 3 minutes to get a mug of water hot enough to make tea; at least two minutes to melt a stick of butter. (2) If you install it at the recommended height, and boil a pot of water (like for pasta or making soup) the steam from the stovetop will collect on the front of the microwave while the exhaust fan is on its maximum setting. I don't mean a little bit of water, I mean coated in water and dripping.

Rated 5 out of 5 by SPS_531 from So many features! The first thing to note about this microwave is that it is large. Our upper cabinets are extra-narrow, so this microwave sticks out from the cabinets more than normal. With the convection features, coupled with the double oven functionality of our new range, we decided to get rid of a countertop toaster oven. It is great to reclaim the space! My favorite feature of this microwave is that it has sensor or pre-programmed cook times for almost any type of food you can imagine. That makes it very easy to use. The convection feature still blows my mind somewhat--it's hard after a lifetime of training to put a metal tray of cookies into the microwave.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Troiano27 from Love this microwave,mbut confusing to use. I've had this microwave for 3 weeks now. I really like everything about it. But it is somewhat confusing to use. The actual user instruction are lacking greatly. I'm not sure when I'm using microwave, convection or a combination of. I've gotten into the habit of just heating up to a temp, and following the instruction of the recipe or box. For example, I tried making a frozen pizza. It said heating up/ 15 min. After a long time, I just put the pizza in. It didn't indicate to put it, and continued to say "preheating". I didn't know if it had some sort of sensor and would turn itself off, or know when the pizza was ready. I just winged it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by DG from It actually cooks meat! It does everything that I bought it for - amazing. The only thing is doesn't do is go shopping and wash clothes (even though I heard the lady next door dries her stuff in it - which I don't recommend...). The best part is that its both a microwave AND a conviction oven. So far no complaints or compliments from all the meats that I convicted. They were justly served in no time flat. I'm looking forward to using the conviction oven even more since it eliminates wasted time and speeds that process along. But ever since I had it installed I have had nothing but good luck and found parking spaces easily. Coincidence? I don't think so.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Alex from Love this microwave I recently purchased all new kitchen appliances for my new house. When I was at the appliance store selecting the ones I wanted, the sales rep told me about this one and the features. I've never really spent much money on a microwave before because I don't like to use them. Since I live in the Phoenix area, heat in the kitchen during the summer is always a concern. The convection option on this microwave is the best thing since slices bread. We use it all the time because it has pre-programmed settings for pretty much anything you can eat, plus it radiates almost no heat throughout the house. Since purchasing this, we almost never use the oven anymore.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Charleston SC Bill from Convection was the Conviction After researching microwave vs. convection/microwave ovens reading reviews and discussion with my wife we finalized our decision to purchase another KitchenAid appliance. This is our first convection/microwave. Purchasing this was absolutely the right decision for us. We have downsized our life style. I'm looking forward to using the convection ,ore and the oven less. It has all the features we were looking for and others that are learning about. Especially like the auto sensing capabilities. Only drawback is that I seem to be prone to clicking cancel when I open the unit with my glommy (it's not a real word) left hand.

Rated 1 out of 5 by NSNVille from Stopped heating within 4 months Bought KMHC319ESS from Best Buy as a replacement for another Kitchenaid Architecture series microwave. This new model was taking too long to heat up - upto 2+ minutes for a cup of water, which typically took about a minute in another GE basic model we have. After about 4 months of use, the microwave function stopped working. Kitchenaid sent repair tech - issue was diagnosed as faulty magnatron which was replaced. In less than 3 weeks, the microwave is now making loud noise during heating - definitely not what was advertised. Plan to call tech again. Hopefully Kitchenaid will fix it properly this time. We have been a loyal Kitchenaid customer so far. This experience could be an anomaly but we have definitely started to reconsider our preference.
