[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was disappointed when I plugged this micro in as I need a flashlight to read the display .
The micro works great , but I thought it would have back lighting . Now I know it doesn't .

Display Difficult to Read

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Although we are very happy with the overall performance of our Jenn-Air Microwave we have one concern.
The display panel is very difficult to read due to the size and color of the function keys. The color of the function keys causes them to blend too deeply into the display background rather than stand out making it very difficult for those with 'older' eyes or vision problems to use them.
If the function keys were outlined more boldly it would allow for easier identification of each function.
Thank you.

Powerful, but lacks ease of use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This microwave came as part of a Jenn-air package deal which included a fridge, oven, range, and dishwasher. I'm impressed by the quality, design, and features of all the other appliances, but this was not well thought out. It has plenty of power and does heat food up quickly, probably faster than other microwaves we've owned, but the controls are lacking.
Previous microwaves I've owned, have "one touch" cooking, that set the cook time start the microwave when you press one of the numeric keys. For example, press the "1" key and the microwave immediately starts cooking for one minute. This microwave requires you to press for keys 1,0,0, Start. Also, the power level can not be adjusted while the microwave is running. You must set the power level before hand.
Lastly, the font on the keys is small so I have to grab my reading glasses so read the keys I don't use often, like reheating an entree.

Should this microwave die an untimely death, it will be replaced with another brand. No need to spend a lot to get the features this unit lacks.
Pros: Quality Construction
Cons: Hard To Use

Even Cooking

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my new microwave. It is extremely quiet and cooks incredibly evenly. All the available presets make it easy to use and takes the guess work out of microwaving. It matches my Jenn-Air convection oven perfectly, almost looking like a single unit.
Pros: Convenient, Attractive Design, Easy To Use, Quality Construction
I would recommend this to a friend!

Life is Short

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased the microwave a month ago because the one we had stopped working. The extended warranty company could not find a repair company said they would give us some money to buy a new microwave. They did not cover the entire cost. It was less than 6 years old and in a built in space above the oven. We had little choice but to get a replacement, same size and same product. We have moved into our new home January of 2013. We chose all Jenn-Aire appliances. So far the dishwasher and microwave have failed. We could not have better incentive to continue purchasing extended warranties.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I replaced my old Jenn microwave after the magnetron went bad for the second time in 4 years. Unfortunately the replacement of the same style has lacked some of the previous ones features. For a high end microwave it looks a feels cheap. The stainless steel trim kit that is made of plastic is wavy and shows dimples in the face which doesn’t match the othe jennair appliances I already own.
Disappointed, but it does still make popcorn.
