KitchenAid - 1.1 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave with Sensor Cooking - Stainless Steel

Our new hood has been installed and use now for awhile now. First the price as a whole is very high. With that said, for us it saved me from doing all the vent work to the roof. That has some value. Was an outstanding choice for our pot filler as well, with the hood only being 10 inches instead of 20 or 30. The is Geeat on low or high, The fan outstanding, 500 cfm. Some vented hoods are only 300-400. All in all it’s exactly what we wanted. O ya, kinda important we don’t use microwaves. But Mom and Dad live with us and they use it like cray. They love it. Pop says it’s heats his of coffee up like a champ. Overwhelmingly recommend. USMC/USAF Ret.

I love love love this microwave! We have limited space between the range and the upper cabinets and didn't want to waste counter space with having a bulky microwave sitting out. We replaced the original vent hood (which was outdated and came with the house) when we purchased it. We mainly use the "30 second" button and this one has it front and center. I also like the "quick defrost" button which automatically is set to defrost 1lb and only takes about 40 minutes. At first I thought I wouldn't be able to fit taller items inside, but after having this for several months, that hasn't been an issue. I was originally looking for something that would match the other appliances in the house (which are GE Profile and in perfect condition), but come to find out that Whirlpool (who also makes KitchenAid) holds the Patent on this, so if you're looking for a brand other than Whirlpool or KitchenAid, don't waste your time. (At least this is true at the time of me writing this 12/2020.) Since replacing all the appliances for a matching microwave would've been foolish, we opted on spending a little extra for the KitchenAid since it matches the mixer which sits nearby. We actually installed this ourselves. (With the help of my step-dad) who is wonderful in all things handy. I've put together and installed cabinets before and also a grill. And this isn't terribly complicated once you read the directions. But, doing that also saved a couple hundred dollars. Overall I'm very pleased not only with the KitchenAid low profile microwave, but thankful BestBuy was having a sale when it was purchased.

Item is sleek, saves space, easy to use and clean.

I've had this installed in my kitchen now for about 2 weeks now and am very impressed with this small unit. It's quiet, has a powerful fan (2-500 cfm fans) and the lights can't be beat for illuminating the surface of your range. I have mine installed as recirculating (venting baffle included) and it eliminates smoke, grease and keeps that smoke alarm from going off if your searing a piece of meat on a high BTU burner. The compact height of the unit allows for large pots on the stove without compromising work space. As far as interior space, you can fit large bowls or glass casserole dishes with ease. Nice simple forward control panel, makes it easy to use. Highly recommend this unit. High quality and worth the money.

The amount of space you save is fantastic The features are all there like any microwave and it is sleek it has lighting underneath and it is the best microwave I've had and I've had the KitchenAid with convection oven that does everything This one is perfect for today's living

I’ve had several GE over range microwaves over the past 3 decades and they really haven’t changed much over the years. They were all big, bulky and not particularly nice to look at. This KitchenAid machine is a departure from that. It has a very sleek design without an exposed keypad. You can operate it just fine with the few buttons that are exposed with the door closed but don’t worry, the keypad with all it’s features is there, hidden but accessible once you open the door. There is a button that pops the door open electronically or you can pull it from a recessed cavity underneath. No handles on the machine which improves its appearance. . The machine 6 or 7 inches shorter than a standard which affords you more space to access your range and show off your backsplash tiles. The microwave protrudes out a few inches more than what you may be used to and the van vent blows up out of the top instead of the top of the face like standard microwaves. The inside space is still generous and can fit most dishes but it’s shorter and a tall bottle may be a problem. Baby bottles may not fit standing up, I haven’t had an opportunity to use it that much but it’s been a pleasure to look at and it appears to be really well made. There is a less fancy whirlpool version that is cheaper that could be a good option. I got this on sale which did help with the decision and it matches nicely with my kitchenaid suite of appliances. Best Buy has always been great to deal with for my appliance purchases but right now, appliances are in short supply and it takes some shopping around just to find them.

When buying it I had doubts about the size, now installed at home the size is perfect, there is no difference with one of regular sizes, with times I have to put more time to meals than with my previous microwave. Beautiful but no powerful

Like the size of the microwave but it protrudes from the cabinet a bit more than expected; we have gotten used to that. On the inside there is plenty of room for what we use it for. Thought it was strange that the top of the microwave (by the vents) are not the same color as the external walls but depending on your height you may not see that

Great microwave, so far. I switched my old over-the-stove microwave out, primarily to gain more space between the microwave and the burners below it. Now, I have plenty of space in my microwave for our needs, but have gained a ton of useful work-space above my cooktop. Works well. Great design. Cons to date are minor: the design is sleek and clean with most buttons hidden. But, the unnecessarily large Kitchen Aid logo detracts from that nice design. It also means you have to open the microwave door to get to most of the function buttons.
