Great upgrade!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently upgraded to the Frigidaire Professional built-in microwave and I’m really glad I did. This isn’t just a basic microwave—it’s more like a multi-purpose cooking appliance.
The air fry setting has been a huge surprise. I’ve made fries, chicken, and even roasted veggies, and they’ve all come out crispy without having to turn on my big oven. The convection option is just as impressive; it heats evenly and is strong enough to bake or roast smaller meals when I don’t feel like using the full oven.
The sensor cooking feature takes the guesswork out of reheating and defrosting. It actually adjusts power and time automatically, and everything comes out just right. On top of that, the LED lighting inside makes it easy to see what’s cooking, and the smudge-proof stainless steel looks sleek and modern in my kitchen while staying clean even with daily use.
It’s a little larger and more powerful than a standard microwave, so you’ll want to plan the installation carefully. But once it’s in, it really feels like a built-in upgrade that makes cooking easier and more enjoyable.
Overall, I’d say the Frigidaire Professional is perfect if you want one appliance that can microwave, air fry, bake, broil, and reheat with precision. It’s become one of my favorite kitchen additions, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone considering a step up from a regular microwave.
I would recommend this to a friend!

All in One Device!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been really impressed with the Frigidaire PMBD3081BF since installing it in my kitchen. It is much more than just a microwave — the built-in air fry and convection oven features make it incredibly versatile. I’ve already used the air fry mode a few times, and it does a great job crisping things without needing oil. The convection oven setting it also amazing as I don't need to use my large oven for small baking needs.
The sensor cooking and reheating features have become my go-to for leftovers. It takes all the guesswork out and keeps food from overcooking. Incredibly, it has a "melt/liquify" setting that does a great job with butter. I used to have to keep a close eye when melting butter (or use a paper towel) since it would splatter all over the microwave but not anymore! The keep-warm setting is handy when I’m juggling other parts of a meal.
The design is another highlight. The smudge-proof stainless steel looks great and actually holds up to fingerprints, which I appreciate. The interior LED lighting is bright enough to clearly see how everything is coming along without opening the door.
What I like most is how it replaces multiple appliances in one spot. Instead of reheating in one machine and crisping in another, I can do everything in this unit. I was able to get rid of my countertop air fryer and now I have more kitchen space! So far, it’s been a great upgrade and is easily the most versatile machine in my kitchen.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Space Saving All-In-One Appliance
on October 3, 2025
Posted by: ArronM
from Montgomery
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always had good luck with Frigidaire appliances, and this one keeps the trend alive!
My addiction to cooking appliances led to a cluttered countertop. I prefer a small convection oven over my full-size built in and an air fryer for quick crispy items. Who would imagine both of those items could be combined with a microwave all in one unit?
This Frigidaire Professional Convection Microwave Oven with Built-In Air Fry checks all the boxes in one unit that fits directly into the spot my old microwave occupied just above my oven.
I am impressed with the quality of the appliance. It has a high-end appearance, and the drop-down door is whisper quiet compared to closing an old-school microwave. The microwave function heats evenly and faster than my old GE Profile. The air fry and convection functions also meet my expectations. Controls are easy to learn.
There are two items that resulted in me giving this unit four out of five stars. First, my old microwave had the ability to quick start with a simple push of one of the numerical buttons resulting in the same number of minutes of heating; this unit does not offer that convenience. Second, the convection oven does not have a pre-heat function resulting in an immediate countdown of the set time when started.
Overall, I am very happy with this purchase and look forward to many years of use and clear countertops!
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This built-in microwave with convection and air fry is such a time-saver! It heats evenly, bakes beautifully, and makes food crispy without extra oil. I love how modern and sleek it looks - it really completes the kitchen. The controls are easy to use, and it’s perfect for quick family meals or when I don’t want to turn on the big oven.

Very Versatile!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This microwave is the most versatile microwave! It warms, bakes and air fries! I use the baking function as back up, especially as I have only one oven. I most especially love that it is powerful. Unless the food is frozen, most food items are hot in 2 minutes or less. The hotness is even with no cold spots in the food and no need to reheat for a few extra seconds! It completes my frigidaire kitchen!!!

Does (almost) everything

from Concord
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product includes microwave features, air fry and convection features! No need for separate appliances.
We love convection and have been wanting to move to air frying for health reasons.
We also are enjoying the sensor cooking so we do not need to guess cooking times and overcook.
Air fry pan and tray are included! The exterior also appears to be finger print resistant which we love.
We have a refrigerator with no handles and seem to be cleaning the exterior frequently.
We have had a good experience with our other Frigidaire appliance and expect to continue to enjoy this one for many years to come.
I would recommend this to a friend!

A lot of bells and whistles

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] OK. Bear with me because I tend to ramble on about products… here we go. I was really hesitant about getting this Frigidaire appliance. We haven’t had the best of luck with their products. I won’t divulge any of the specifics, but I was willing to give this a try and give them another chance for redemption. At first, it really looks intimidating. All those buttons, presets, and whatnot. I had to read the instruction manual a few times, but I think we figured it out. For the most part. The Frigidaire Professional microwave/convection oven is wonderful so far. We have only had it for a short time. It has all the bells and whistles you could dream of. It looks very high-end and performs it as well. We love the numerous presets and ease of operation; it’s amazing. The single display is multi-colored for easy viewing. We haven’t had time to use all of its many functions, including the top grill mode, but we are looking forward to it. It also has a function for two stage cooking. I can’t wait to try that out and start baking Thanksgiving and Christmas goodies, but for the most part, we would recommend the Professional Frigidaire Microwave/Convection oven for anyone who wants the best! Hopefully, it will last, and cleaning it won’t be too difficult. If I can I will update if anything comes up!

Awesome microwave!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was excited to finally have a built-in microwave, freeing up some counter space. But I didn't realize what an amazing product the Frigidaire 30" Built-In Convection Microwave Oven with Air Fry is. It heats quickly, evenly AND it doubles as an OVEN?! Yes, it does! Plus, it's also an Air Fryer! How amazing is that?!! It has clean, sleek lines. Looks fabulous in the kitchen. Easy to clean. And the drop down door makes it even more sleek and it's quiet to close. Love it and am looking forward to making a lot of goodies this winter.
