[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This unit replaced a KitchenAid oven/microwave that was damaged by an electrical malfunction. Although the oven replaced an identical item, there has been much improvement in this product.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Replaced an older KitchenAid model! This version is excellent. The microwave is very powerful and heats very evenly. The oven heat much faster plus in it know has an Air fry mode.
I have the earlier version of this combo that doesn’t air dry and is the 30”. I love this combo Going on 8 years of heavy use with my in home cottage cupcake and specialty cake business, and it doesn’t disappoint. And for the review that states they can’t use the microwave when the oven is in use, u use the touch controls on the upper left to operate the microwave
Very attractive oven with intuitive controls. Recent purchase so haven't had the luxury to do much with it yet. One misleading advertisement of the oven is that, under features, it shows that the oven door is "self-closing". This would be a nice feature to have but isn't the case. The oven has a standard closing door.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been debating on buying this built in combo micro-oven for 2 years. I replaced a Viking double oven. I very happy I decided on KitchenAid. It is very well made. The only one thing I wish was different is that when the microwave timer goes off, the fan continues to run and you must hit the cancel button to stop the fan. I haven’t used the oven more than a few times so far and I have to get used to how it heats. I roasted asparagus at 400 and it came out perfect but when I baked Pillsbury biscuits following directions they came out dark. I was lucky I checked them early or they would have burned. But it takes time to get used to a new oven. I use the microwave every day and it’s great. I’m very happy with my purchase so far.
Very nice looking and it seems sturdy. But there are several shortcomings:
*Microwave door opens down. It makes getting stuff in and out difficult. All microwave ovens open on the side, but looks are more important than usability here.
*We have never used the combo microwave / oven because we don't know how to. We have scoured the Internet for instructions and they are all very general. Why would any company build something and not provide a user manual? What can we put in to cook with?
*We have not used the temperature sensor in the oven because, yet again, no instructions. This should be pretty simple to figure out, so we will tackle it eventually.
I don't know if I will ever buy a Kitchen Aid again because of this aggravation.
