    Great Microwave

    Posted by Jason Rodriguez on Nov 1st 2024

    This microwave is replacing our old OTR microwave from 2007. In comparison, the inner dimensions are wider and deeper, but a little shorter. We can fit everything we normally put in the microwave, and there is plenty of room for a 2 cup Pyrex measuring cup. The inside wipes down easily. The light is excellent, very bright, with a High and Low setting. The fan is very powerful with 4 settings to choose from - High, Medium, Medium Low, Low. The front of the microwave does show finger prints easily, but with the sleek look and the hidden keypad buttons, it’s simple to wipe down. Installation will require 2 people to lift and get it hooked into the bracket. The new standard sized microwaves are too long top to bottom and reduce your cooking space underneath, so this low profile microwave is excellent to open up more usable space between the stove and the bottom of the unit.

    Amazing microwave- super handy

    Posted by Mitchell Duncan on Oct 31st 2024

    Amazing space saving and what a difference the power is in heating of the food. Super fast and conveniently placed above the stove.

    Love how bright the lights are underneath

    Posted by Mariah Knapp on Oct 30th 2024

    Between the low profile, saving me over a foot compared to my old microwave, and the led lights underneath I can finally cook and see my stove top! Also love the brightness and how large the time and numbers are. I do keep forgetting that you have to set it before I shut the door since the panel is inside but I can always push the add 30 sec button if I forget. It’s pricey but I decided to splurge to get what I needed. Now you can see my new tile backsplash too.

    Awesome product

    Posted by William Espinoza on Oct 29th 2024

    It’s awesome. We wanted to get rid of our counter microwave replacing it with an over the stove type. We have an older home with less space above the stove than newer homes. This thing fit perfect. It also cools great and the low profile hasn’t been an issue at with fitting anything in. We have other kitchenaid appliances and wanted it to match.

    Very Satisfied

    Posted by Daniel Davila on Oct 27th 2024

    Don’t have an outside vent. We looked for the best rated recirculating filtration system. The fact that it’s low profile was a plus. Love the way it looks with more space above the range. It’s hitting on all cylinders. Decent overhead light, powerful fan for our enclosed space and the microwave is what you’d expect.

    Posted by Michelle Scott on Oct 26th 2024

    It is great looking and always gets noticed. Dose a great job lighting the stove top and the wisper fans clear away smoke and steam beautifully. Oh yeah, its a great microwave too!

    Very good range hood even without the microwave

    Posted by Jeffery Livingston on Sep 19th 2024

    As a range hood with 500cfm rating we have found this unit much quieter than expected, though at highest speed it's notably louder (and moving *much* more air) than a 400cfm unit from another brand that is likely made in the same factory. Dimensions are a frequent question and were of real interest to me when shopping: I wanted the smallest possible intrusion into the over-range space, so as to be the least distraction to the cook. Height: 10 1/4" per marketing; 10 5/16" per Q&A. It is 10 1/4" on the side face. The lip at the mounting plate's base adds 1/64". The inevitable sag off the front mounting bolts adds 3/64". So yeah, installed it's gonna be 10 1/4 at the rear and 10 5/16" at the front. No big deal in itself, *but* this could make the opened door swing into the kitchen when left ajar. If leaving an oven door ajar is part of your cooking style, you might want to install the rear mounting plate 1/32"-1/16" low to balance the door swing. Depth: 18" marketing, 18 5/16" installed. The unit's side faces are 18" but the rear includes several protrusions that the mounting plate accomodates. I somehow overcame my temptation to tear out the sheetrock, notch the studs, and put in new sheetrock to gain back the "lost" airspace above the range. The extra 5/16" has been less of an issue than expected, so I'll leave it as is. Width: 30" marketing, 29 7/8" in some other place (installation manual, maybe?) The chassis 29 7/8" and the side's sheet metal has enough flex to bow out and close the gap in a 30" cabinet opening. This makes a much easier install without scraping up the unit or your cabinets on the way in. The sides' sheet metal flexes out 1/32" on each side to touch the side cabinets for a nice clean & flush look. Venting efficiency: Very good, I'd say excellent for a sub-600cfm hood. Keep in mind any vent 500cfm or greater requires an air-balancing intake into the house. Any exhaust greater than 200cfm really will tax your living space's ability to leak in enough air to balance, and as you approach 400cfm only the draftiest houses will leak in enough to keep from drawing in bad air (from a gas furnace system, radon-trapping crawl space, etc). So before you crank up the speed past 2, crack a window 1-2"; for max running, don't be afraid to give yourself a full 2 square feet of open window for air-balance inflow. Grease traps: this is one of my pet peeves with household range hoods: why do they all use aluminum mesh? The downsized "restaurant-style" grease traps really work, they're easy to remove, and so much easier to actually clean. Finally a household level option that is designed to be maintained! Just remember: while they've made it so-o much easier to maintain, you still have to do it. Try cleaning them, frying a seared-steak, burger or bacon meal, and pulling them out right after: voila, there is your meal's exhaust, ready to wash right along with the pots & pans! And it's a good learning moment to learn which meals put how much grease into our kitchen exhaust systems. Venting range exhaust into the indoor space: I saw this comment on several reviews and I think the concern is warranted. I installed as a rear-exhaust through wall, with a 90-degree to vertical 7" duct, without a damper for maximum air flow - and in part because I thought a poorly installed or obstructed damper might be a source of these complaints. This did not reduce recirculation to zero: the front vents (ostensibly for the microwave's operation and venting only) do return some small amount of dirty air into the kitchen. This makes sense to me - if the microwave is venting its own air, that air must be coming from under the unit, and that's the same air I'm trying to get rid of. I've still got more to look into on this, but for now I've covered the left-side vent with a fridge magnet and that takes care of it enough for us. It's easily removable as I wouldn't want to go against manufacturer recommendations when using the microwave. We replaced an old Venmar dedicated range hood with this unit. At 800cfm it was more than we needed. Downsizing the this 500cfm unit means we can't get away with belching out smoke without opening a window, but that's for the best anyway (we have a gas furnace and a crawl space, so turning the kitchen into an 800cfm negative-pressure vacuum was not our brightest remodeling move). This unit helps remind us the proper source for air balance is the good ol' kitchen window. Microwave: it works! I guess! I heated a cup of water from 60 to 150 in about 30 seconds to pre-test before full installation. That's the last time we've used it. We're not microwave people I guess, and getting a microwave hasn't yet changed that. Um... it stays clean. it's big enough for us. The good news, if you're reading this you'll find plenty of other reviews with more to say on the microwave! :)

    Great Customer Service from BB

    Posted by Jessica Fields on Sep 15th 2024

    After settling on this model, BB price-matched the warehouse store where it was out of stock, so very pleased. We installed it ourselves which was a bit of a struggle due to our tile backsplash affecting the alignment of the forward bolt holes in cabinet above with those in the top of the unit. Like the auto 30 sec Start feature, covers most of our needs. Took away a star because the option selections are limited & you have to press the button several times to scroll through them. Also the door was squeaky but sewing machine oil with a needle tip applicator applied to the recessed hinges did the trick. We replaced a 36" wide KA full size unit so had to order 3" brushed SS side panels to fill the gaps on either side of this 30" unit. Whirlpool/KA does not make them for space saver models; had to take their 17" L brackets to a sheet metal shop to have them reduced to the 10½" height of this unit. These are visible in the photo.

    Sleek

    Posted by Jason Davis on Sep 12th 2024

    I hate to describe a microwave as “ sexy” but this one is low profile and is worth the extra $. Yes, it’s sexy! You don’t microwave a turkey, do you? This Kitchen Aid micro works quicker and better than the “old school” larger models and brands from the ‘70’s!
