A year in....

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This microwave was purchased as part of a kitchen renovation. It has been in place for almost a year now and has met all our needs. The only challenge is retraining the user to use the controls inside the door!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We put this in as part of a renovation, it sits above our wall oven. Most built-in microwaves are smaller (less wide) than a normal oven, and require a fit kit (sometimes ridiculously expensive, looking at you, Miele) and just overall waste space. This oven uses the width of the wall oven and is only as high as 90%+ of the stuff you put in a microwave. The most detailed use buttons are cleanly put inside the door, the ones I use 90%+ of the time (add 30 seconds, open, cancel) are outside the door. It also microwaves perfectly well.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have not had much opportunity as remodeling is ongoing, however....I find it to be very quiet, cooks even, more like conventional ovens. fingerprints are an issue however. Exterior needs to be cleaned, not just wiped, after each use as prints a very visible.
We bought this 2 years ago because of its sleek design and external exhaust fan. The fan is extremely loud, cant hear tv and hard to carry on conversation. I hate the tray mechanism. It comes off the track very easily and has to be put back correctly almost daily.The fingerprints are horrible! The only things I do like about it are the non‐ stick inside surface which makes cleaning easier and the exhaust fan comes on automatically if the stove temperature gets to high.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
