1.5 cu. ft. Countertop Microwave in Stainless Steel

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Sometimes works, sometimes does not work, getting ‘door’ error. Scheduled warranty service.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After much research we decided on this microwave. We love it! The SS matches our current appliances and it’s just the right size for our larger plates and bowls without taking up too much counter top. Love the convection option- used this option once so far for chicken wings reheat and came our crispy. I liked that I didn’t need to heat up my gas oven! Interior is also SS and easy to wipe up.

Great appliance. Cooks well - but there is a learning curve if you have never had a combo oven. The one major concern was the fact that in convection bake mode, the back & sides of the unit get VERY hot! We have it in a corner so that at least provides an open area in the back for air cirulation. We had to move/relocate items away from the unit & made sure its wire was not compromised by the heat. The 1st oven delivered had a very loud buzzing/vibration. The following week they delivered the 2nd one. Looks great, works great without any buzzing/vibrations. The button seems a little sketchy & does not operate very smoothly. We'll see about that; at least we bought the extended warranty! Otherwise, we love it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this microwave due to the dimensions, which saved me from having to buy another trim kit. It is identical to my last one except for the nameplate. I like the convection feature for baking small cakes and breads without the need for using our main oven. My only concern is the magnetron makes an unpleasant noise at startup. (which eventually subsides) Very similar to the noise my previous unit made just before it failed. Time will tell. Otherwise it's a good microwave with nice features.

If you are looking for a convection microwave that has a trim kit that will give a built into the cabinet design to your kitchen, this is not it. I purchased the 27" trim kit (MKC2157AS) for my new Kitchenaid Convection Microwave (KMCC5015GSS) but because the trim face plate has no vent holes on the front of it, all the heat generated when using the convection oven is pushed out through the openings along the edge of the trim face plate. My drawer fronts butt up to the sides and bottom of the trim face plate edge so the heat is all being directed onto the adjacent drawer fronts and cabinets. This amount of heat will cause damage to my custom cabinetry. The only way to use the convection function now is to open up all the drawers and doors so it doesn't heat up the adjacent cabinets. Poorly designed trim kit. What is the point of a trim kit if it doesn't vent out in a direction away from your cabinets?!?? As a consumer, you are better off not even installing the trim kit if you don't want your cabinets damaged (even though KA recommends the trim kit if you want to install into a cabinet). So if you want a "built-in" look, choose a different convection microwave (GE designed theirs with venting on the front - why couldn't Kitchenaid?) (see photos).

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I am happy to have purchased this item as it matches beautifully with the wall oven mounted below it.

This microwave saved our home dining life during our kitchen remodel. I could cook most everything in it and used it every day for 2 months. I used every setting and it worked exactly how it should, maybe taking a little longer than an oven as it takes time to heat up. Now it is installed in my new kitchen and I still use it everyday. Of note, be sure to include the feet height in your measurements for your cabinet cubby. Ours was a bit tight fit. My favorite option is the dinner plate option as it uses sensor cooking to heat up anything to a perfect temp. Convection roast makes items a lovely crispy. And the fresh/frozen vegetable options are very convenient. My only wish is that it had a melt or soften option for items like butter/ ice cream but I can adjust power level and cook time well enough. I am happy to have this item and it brings comfort to have it as a stand by for large gatherings where I may need more oven space.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this to replace my previous built in Kitchenaid microwave

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this microwave to match the rest of my kitchenaid appliances when remodeling my kitchen two years ago. I love kitchenaid products. Its a good microwave with a lot of cooking space inside. Though at times I find the temperature is a bit inconsistent when heating up side dishes. But not a big deal I just add more time. It also came with a convection function, I personally am not a big fan of convections so I have not tried/used that function. I also wanted a microwave that I could put a picture frame around to make it look like a built in one piece with my oven. This model had the picture frame for it (sold separately). Making it easier if ever either appliance needs replacing. All in all it does its job and I’m happy with my microwave.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had to replace a 2009 Jenn Air microwave that was paired with a wall oven so the space was predefined. This one fit the size requirements and the trim kit matched the existing stainless steel color. It also had a convection oven option so it gave us two standard ovens instead of one. The trim kit was the same size top and bottom so I had to trim the bottom to fit our needs. We haven't tried the convection oven yet. Cons are it is a little noisy when rotating (sounds like the lugs on a bulldozer going around, but much quieter) and it is only 1000 watts so we have to change the time to cook common things (popcorn used to be 2:45 minutes, now 4:00 minutes) the upside is the popcorn never scorches now like it used to on occasion. Pros are the color match is good, it looks good and it works well as a microwave. We are satisfied overall.
