Poor interior lighting

I just bought this microwave on 10/11/2026 and pretty disappointed the lighting inside is so dim you can’t see the item that’s heating up.. especially butter that you want to keep an eye on so it’s not splattering all over the place.. My previous Kitchen-Aid microwave had much better lighting The exterior and trim kit is very nice ..
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Everything as expected so far, as I've only had it a couple months. No problems or concerns to report at this time. It does heat faster than the microwave it replaced.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'd counter top microwave has performed well. There is plenty of space to heat or cook all sizes of microwaveable dishware. Cooking seems to be evenly applied to food. I like the sound and volume of the timer. I would definitely purchase this item again.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very good performance and powerful. Heats food fast. Steam clean option is great as well. Highly recommend
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The first microwave lasted 3 months before the door broke. Lets see how the replacement unit does.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The microwave we had quit working so we decided to replace it with a larger one. We were very happy with that decision. We are very pleased with the microwave in general.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love the microwave. There was just a bit of a learning curve for how the buttons functioned compared to our old one. All my cookware has been able to fit in the large capacity. Everything has heated well and come out great with the exception of microwave popcorn. I have to stop it a few seconds early so it doesn't burn. Pretty soon my entire kitchen will be Kitchenaid products. When checking size make sure you consider where the feet are and not just overall size. Our microwave goes on a shelf and just barely fit.
