[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This microwave is awesome and provides great cooking options with faster results. The “open door” option is a very nice feature. I love the higher profile because it allocates more space above my cooktop surface.
Everything about this microwave is great apart from the HUGE time lag between pressing a button and something happening (cooking, fan, light - all of it). It's extremely frustrating and I can only imagine it would be trivial for the manufacturer to address. It is so annoying that I considered returning the microwave. Ugh!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this to replace an older microwave and are thrilled with the quality! We really like the slim and sleek design. Not having a handle to open the door was a nice feature, allowing for easier cleaning. Happily, now our kitchen is full of Kitchenaid appliances!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I find it hard to operate especially setting the time,, I wish they a microwave with a larger had a little linterior. Maybe average size, medium and this one. Otherwise it serves its purpose. I did try to pop a bag of popcorn and over half of the kernels didn’t pop. I wish I had just purchased a counter top model. Lesson learned!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Has some nice features our old microwave didn't have like the vent fan turning on automatically when cooking something on high for a longer period that is typically normal and at a high-power setting. Tremendous power on high setting with the vent fan. Uneventful installation of the microwave. Used it immediately to cook a meal after the install. We needed more clearance between our stove and the microwave and this model gave us what we needed.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works good as expected. Added features as 3 level lighting plus warm/cool adjustments are nice. Programming and connecting to Wi-Fi can be confusing. One negative, being a low profile model with a lower inside height, the rotating dish needs to be flush to avoid hitting food and drink containers when entering the munit
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice features with adjustable light color/intensity, sound, fan and wifi capabilities. Programming is a bit confusing as directions and diagrams don't always sinc. With a shorter height, the rotating shelf should be recessed to avoid hitting contents being inserted.
