[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm writing this review a bit prematurely because I'm still figuring out all of the features. I didn't realize this "microwave" had the features it did. It is GREAT! Once I master it, I know I'll use more and more. It is a strikingly beautiful design above my Kitchen Aid oven. I've received many compliments. Excited to try more.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We've been using this new microwave for several weeks now and are generally pleased. Didn't like being pushed to download apps and connect it as a smart device as we will never use it that way. Maybe I could have avoided the app but doing so presents its own hassles. Also wished instructions were more specific on how to cook bacon & disappointed that settings only offer maximum of 6 slices to be cooked at at time. We do like the well lit display panel and the fact that it serves as an Air Fryer too but haven't had occasion to put that to the test yet.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like that it has variable cooking methods, and the aesthetics are very pleasing, however, sometimes the place with more options are not so good with those options. If there is only one or two, they are usually better. In this case, it seems to bake and toast okay but it takes forever to defrost and microwave anything. And the noise the fan makes when it is cooling off after using it for a length of time is quite annoying. I realize it serves a purpose but we have to leave the door open to cool it off because the noise is unbearable.
They should have not even included a microwave in this! It does not work well at all. I wish I would have known this before buying it but I didn't. The sales person told me how great it was.. it's not.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our favorite part(s) about this microwave is all that we can do with it. We love how it toasts bread, how it air fries french fries and how well it bakes our small pizzas. It does everything so very well, it has become our go to appliance for almost all things cooking.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] we are having a hard time figuring out how to use all of the features and it would be nice to have an instruction manual of some kind. I have not found anything on line that helps. Cleaning the front screen is a pain. when I wipe it it sets off all kinds of things. You have to download an app to set the clock!!! That is ridiculous!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Air fry is slow and doesn’t really brown anything in the basket. I can cook frozen fries in 8 minutes and they are nicely brown in my old air fryer. Twice as long in the new microwave. Need to use the toaster tray for criisp fries.
