It Doesn't Work After Less than Two Years
I get the open/close door message when trying to use the microwave. The interior light won't come on and unit doesn't work. I'm frustrated to see online that this is a fairly common problem. Needless to say it is out of warranty, but more painful is the time to figure out the problem, find a replacement part, find a repairman, stay home from work to wait for the repairman, oh, and the inability to use the unit while all of this is happening. If I wanted to come home from work and cook dinner from scratch, I wouldn't have purchased a microwave. First world problem, I know, but very annoying. If KA has known about this problem for years, why isn't it fixed yet?

Failed twice in 1 year
I bought this a little over a year ago. Had dealer replace door sensors and keypad control board a couple months later because it would not operate with door open error. Now it a couple months out of warrantee and it's doing the same thing again. Will work gone for a while then refuse to turn on because it thinks the or is open. Dealer reached out to kitchenaid who will not do anything about it. Dealer is largest in Chicago area, they are going to diagnose it and see what can be done. At least I am getting good service from them!
Normally sending repairman plus parts will practically cost as much as new one.
This is a premium product?

Great microwave-tricky install!
Love our new microwave from KitchenAid. We've been loyal KitchenAid buyers for several years now and always pleased with our appliances. We replaced a 12 year old KitchenAid over-the-range microwave with a new unit and are happy with it. The old one was much easier to install than the new one, however. My husband installed the old one with the template provided and it was a breeze. This one was much more complicated and made us wonder why we didn't pay the extra $$ to have it installed. The mounting bracket is flimsy and we had to drill into the cabinet above to hang it. They should have stayed with the old design for installation!

Looks great
I bought this microwave because I have changed out all my kitchen appliances to be stainless steel and this was just the last one. It is good to have a microwave that matches the rest of the kitchen. I don't really use the microwave for much except for reheating things, heating water for instant oatmeal and popping microwave popcorn. But it does all those things well. I didn't even know it has 7 sensor functions until you told me in the e-mail that asked me to rate it. I guess I should figure out what those 7 functions do. That might be cool. And I could not open the Terms and Privacy Statement, so I could not possibly agree with it.

Poor Product Support
My wife and bought a complete set of kitchenaid appliances when we bought a new home two years ago, including this microwave oven. It stopped working for the same reason 2 times and was repaired under warranty. Now it has stopped working for the same reason a third time. I called customer service and requested the unit be replaced since it had broken down 3 times and was told that, since it is now out of warranty, we’ll have to contribute to the repair or buy a new unit at a discount. We’ve always believed Kitchenaid supplied good products and stood behind them. Apparently that’s not true anymore.

Best Money Spent on a Microwave
I love the features on this microwave. My husband wanted it because it matched everything we had already purchased. We had a microwave that worked ut he convinced we should spend the extra money and replace what we had. He was so right. Not only does it help to make our kitchen look very clean and professional, it also has some features I love. The fan comes on automatically if the temp from the range top gets to high, the tone for letting know it is complete is soft and multi-toned so it is easy on the ears. The melt, thaw and various preset settings are perfect for our lifestyle and how we use it. Overall it is a win for us!

Excellent Microwave!
This was the last of four matching KitchenAid appliances that I purchased and installed. Love it!!! It is big, and very well made. I have used most of the auto and quick features, and they have worked flawlessly. Takes a lot of the guess work out of cooking the most common things we use a microwave for, and having to check to see if something is done and add time. I like the option of turning off the turntable, the 3 speed fan, the energy saving display (who needs another clock on all the time directly over the range one anyway?) etc. I could go on, but I am I think it is clear that I love this microwave. And it looks great!!!

Great microwave!
This is a really sharp addition to our kitchen. I needed to get a new refrigerator, which was a built in. After purchasing the KitchenAid refrigerator, I was in love. Nobody likes to spend money on appliances but if you have to, KitchenAid is the best brand for your money. The microwave matches perfectly and I also found matching cabinet and drawer pulls. My Kitchen looks “redone” without spending thousands of dollars. The microwave works great. Some reviews say it sets up too high and can’t see food cooking. Mine is perfect although we did have to cut out the granite backsplash to make it fit. Highly recommend this microwave!

Faulty light and terrible product support
Bought this in Jan 2017. In May 2018, after the over-the-range-light at the bottom of the microwave burned out, the light would not turn off or dim setting after replacing bulb. I paid KitchenAid Service $175 to fix this in May, and now in July (2 months later). Same problem after the bulb burned out again. KitchenAid wants me to pay another $175 to fix the same problem again two months later.
Who would pay $175 every two months for a microwave light switch? Whatever's wrong with this unit, I've already paid to fix it. I bought this and matching dishwasher from KitchenAid, but with this level of quality and support I'm finished with KitchenAid products.

Love it!
We were needing a replacement for a microwave that was initially installed in 1996. Love that the filters are hidden so you don't have to look at the greasy fan at the top of the microwave. The fan is great! We were frequently setting off smoke alarms in the kitchen with the old fan whenever we cooked. So far, even when using cast iron, we haven't set it off!
We currently have an older Kitchenaid range in the black. The black stainless with the solid black window on the microwave goes well with it.
Still learning the sensor functions, but so far it works well, especially when reheating leftover Thanksgiving dinner.
