[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this to replace the 8 year old Kitchen aid microwave. The ceramic tile backsplash dictated that the replacement was the exact same size as previous model. Installation was easy and I was even able to use the old mounting plate. The reason I gave 4 stars is the lights underneath are too dim to illuminate the stove below it. I had the same complaint with the old one as well.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this model to replace my previous 8 y.o. KitchenAid microwave. The ceramic backsplash dictated that I go with one the exact same size as before. Installation was easy and even was able to use the old backing plate. The reason for the 4 star review is the lighting underneath is so dim, even on high. These are obviously LED bulbs, so heat shouldn't be an issue if you go with a higher wattage. I had the same complaint with the previous model as well, but that had the old school incandescent bulb.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, the unit is fine. It's a no-frills model. The unit works well, but it seems a little flimsy. The under-unit light is not bright at all. It is fine!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Size is perfect, very quiet and very easy to use with many options. Love the reheat button and food comes out perfect
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The microwave is ok. The inability to turn off the fan that auto starts when the microwave is put to use really is a bad feature. If we had known that we would not have went with that model. The fan is extremely loud
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This microwave has a very elegant and sleek design. It is quiet when in use, and the alert sounds are pleasing. Our family loves the express start feature as well as the +30 Sec button. We are very happy with our purchase!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The microwave heats well and has a good capacity. It looks nice. The fan moves a lot of air and is no louder than other microwaves we’ve owned. The controls are generally good. The comands for choosing the options under specialty commands such as reheat are not intuitive to me.
