I had a maytag over the range microwave that died after 4 years. I replaced it with the stainless steel kithenaid convection over the range microwave and I am definitely pleased. After reading review after review of other brands I decided to go with this model and I am glad I did. This microwave offers everything and then some. I probably won't use half of the features on here, but in the event I need them I have them! The convection is amazing, it literally cuts my cook time in half with out overcooking my food. Kitchenaid is reputable for producing quality products and I already own thier restaurant quality mixer. This microwave is highly recommended and the price I paid for it on Amazon blew the competitor's prices out of the water.

Bought this product and refrigerator and stove. Microwave’s door panel had to be replaced the first month. Repairman told us the microwave had electrical issues. Had it for six years and now inexplicably stopped heating even though the turntable turns and lights come on. It’s a horror as I had no warning. The refrigerator after two years began leaking causing floor damage and moisture in fridge. I called kitchenaid and they told me that the part was recalled. They sent a repairman and was charged $200 for service but he said, “Good news, the part is free.” I called up kitchenaid and they refused to refund me the repair charge. They kept telling me that the part was free. I asked them if they wanted me to put the part in myself? Over the course of a month we settled on a gift card for half the price. Their products look beautiful but are garbage. Don’t buy them. They don’t last. So far the stove is okay.

Have been happy with this except for high price and turntable failure. Was intermittent but now almost never spins. Am now hunting for info on this (out of warranty) to attempt repair. Have been reluctant to take it down and out of service since it otherwise works. In case it matters to others, is marked manufactured March 2007. Will report any developments here.2012-11-22 Update: Fixed it myself with a $5 relay; an easier board replacement would have been $120. Probably wouldn't be terribly costly to have an appliance pro do it. Here's a description of the repair with pictures:[[...]2013-12-01 Update: Still working perfectly after above fix. Still very happy with this purchase.

We bought this oven in December 2009 and have used it for about a year.Pros: + It is visually appealing and dresses up any kitchen + The internal lighting is very good and the over the range lighting is excellent + The exhaust fan rivals a jet engine -- in both airflow and noise. It will move some serious air, but when it's on high normal conversation in the vicinity of the oven is difficult. Lower speeds are much better, venting well at a reasonable sound level. I have it mounted above a gas oven/range, so in the summer it easily vents the excess heat outside on the lowest fan setting + It is the most powerful microwave I have ever owned. This thing cooks quickly + It is also versatile. We bought it because of the convection capabilities, assuming it would dissipate less heat into the kitchen in the summer. That's not quite true (see cons, below), but we still like it for baking smaller items + It's HUGE. I haven't tried it but I could probably roast a leg of bison in the darned thing. It'll accommodate some really large dishesCons: - Reliability. We had one failure which required three service calls. Though the initial failure was Kitchen Aid's fault, the multiple service calls were their warranty provider's fault - Heat. When using the convection function, the oven directs excess heat via a fan through a vent in the top of the oven -- right into your kitchen. I would have thought that the logical place to vent this heat would be through the external vent, but it does not. This produces a GREAT DEAL of heat. Dandy in the winter but insane in the summer. And because the heat shoots from the top of the oven it can't be captured. Thus we find it is far more economical to use the big oven in the summer, because the heat from it can be directed outside via the vent in the microwave. I consider this a nasty design flaw - Broiling/grilling. A nice feature but I've found it's just as quick and easy (and more tasty) to throw something on the grill as to get out the browning pan, the extended rack, etc., then have to clean everything. I occasionally use this feature (when snow's covering the grill) but not muchNeutral: * The meal reheat feature takes longer than my old microwave, but that's because it is more intelligent. This microwave produces an evenly-heated meal whereas my old one produced a meal that was hot around the edges and cold in the center. It varies the power and timing to accomplish this, but unless you understand what it's doing you can easily grow impatient. * My old microwaves (GEs, mostly) had shortcut buttons that allowed you to quickly zap something for, say, five minutes by just pressing the "5" button. One button, five minutes. I didn't realize how often I used those shortcuts. I miss 'em.All in all we're pleased with it. I would probably buy it again, although my expectations would be tempered a bit.

This is the best microwave I have ever owned. It fits in beautifully with my kitchen, cooks the food fast and effectively. The different setting on this microwave are amazing.
