AirFry Features Does Not Work
on October 29, 2026
Posted by: Judy 234
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been purchasing KitchenAid, Whirlpool appliances for the past 35 years. I purchased them for home and rentals. I have been very pleased with the products over the years. However, this microwave oven is not worth the money. I appreciate the support service but somehow the AirFry function is not up to par. The reason from Google is that microwave and AirFry use different technology. When the 2 features put in one mechanism, it does not work. I wish that I had this information before I purchased the product.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This convection microwave was a complete waste of money. When using the microwave feature, it creates hot spots. One part of the plate will be boiling with the other is stone cold. The air fry and oven features are completely useless. The machine generates so much steam that anything you try to fry becomes gummy and eventually rock hard, instead of cooked properly. We are so incredibly disappointed in this piece of equipment. It is a thorn in our side in an otherwise amazing new kitchen. All of our other appliances we purchased (fridge, commercial oven, a second single wall electric oven and dishwasher) are phenomenal. I regret buying this every single day. Do not waste your money.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far this microwave/oven is exactly what we hoped for. It looks great and functions great. We did notice that it holds in moisture a bit more than we’re used to but we simply leave the door cracked over night from time to time and it dries out great. We have it in an appliance cabinet below our island and the flip down door is very helpful for getting things in and out. I am very happy with it overall.
Love the idea of this, BUT nor ready for prime time...Air Fry option is a no go...hard to figure out the options without going online to figure it out.. My door does not close properly and it keeps giving me door error...I called on it and no repairs are available for it...so brand new microwave that sort of works.
