Sleek and functional!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this specifically for the flush profile to put in our remodeled kitchen. We looked at 3 different brands and this one had the best looking front with the glass surrounded by the printless stainless frame. It looks beautiful and sleek in line with the 12 inch white cabinets. It was perfect for us since we installed a vent hood over the gas range and needed a low profile microwave installed somewhere else in the kitchen. There was an initial learning curve finding the right duration and power for the things we heat up often but we’re experts now and use the microwave everyday. I love the automatic fan that opens and closes on its own. It’s very easy to clean both inside and out.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We went with Kitchenaid because of the long standing reputation of quality at a reasonable price. Thankfully, that has been maintained. We love the new microwave.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great microwave!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We replaced our old appliances when we did our kitchen make-over. We are so happy we choose Kitchen Aid for our microwave. Without the turntable it cooks the food evenly. I love the over the stove look with the built in exhaust fan, works great!!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Not worth the amount spent.

Does not heat evenly and burns one side, leaving the other side not cooked or raw.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like the microwave it fits well as it is the flush mount and looks great with my cabinets. I like not having the turntable to have something else to clean

Sleek Built-in Design, HUGE Tech Leap
on May 4, 2023

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I, like many others, was originally taken in by how the built-in design of this Kitchenaid Microwave made it appear as though it was custom-designed to fit in seamlessly with your cabinets. In an age where we have tend to have way too many gadgets from ice cream makers to spiralizers to rice makers all epically battling for precious counter space, I try to keep things as neat-looking as possible by sticking to our stainless theme and choosing built-in appliances if possible with the smallest footprint.
Right away, even our installers were surprised how nice this microwave looks. Its really quite stunning, especially for something that is rather meant to meld away in the background. It does just that, but in a high-end feel. I noticed tiny things first: how the vent on the top actually opens outward during cook times and quietly returns to stasis afterward, how bright the under-lights can be at the highest setting (if that's what you want,) and the wow-factor of how lightly touching the front of the appliance, opens the entire front of the device, reminiscent of something you'd see on a star ship. (I mean who doesn't secretly love that.)
Oddly, though I was instantly concerned I picked a microwave that was too small! When the front opens, revealing the inside, its so sleek, it just doesn't look like it could possibly have the room I was used to (and that a family demands!) It actually took my husband to convince me to "put a dinner plate in there, there's plenty of room." Yes, happily, he was completely right! It looks deceivingly small but fits exactly as much as my MUCH larger looking chunky microwave that it replaced.
So, pretty? yep. Roomy? Yep. But I didn't get to the great part. No cleaning that horrid bottom glass plate and circular silicon ring.... Ever. It doesn't exist! I don't believe I'll miss the days of angrily pulling out the glass tray covered in baked-on burnt cheese and reprimanding children to no avail. This is a major win in my book. The inside consists of an empty compartment that you just put your large dinner plate in (our dinner plates are the largest ones I've seen,) and cook to your hearts content with out any annoying plate rotation involved. With Melt, Soften, and keep warm options, along with the usual potato, defrost buttons, etc, I've found it has heated remarkably better than others in the past. In fact, I have yet to 'explode' tomato-based dishes or even fatty dishes in it yet. Am I just that lucky? I doubt it, I've had this one for quite a while and am used to cleaning out my microwave about every fifth thing I heat. This one has barely needed it, (although I do, like most people, cover things with a paper towel just in case - they've all come out clean:)
As you can tell, I'm pretty smitten with this microwave. Although I've loved my kitchenaid mixer for years, I didn't know quite what to expect from them in microwaves, but I can confidently say this is a huge leap forward from any high-end microwave I've owned in the past. Hats off to them for continuing to make great tech leaps. Grab this one, you won't be disappointed.
