Fire Hazard - Electrical
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We’ve owned this for 6 months. Today it caught on fire after 3 minutes cooking at 400 in air fryer mode. The source of the smoke was not the food - it looked unblemished. The smoke smelled like burning wires and you could see it coming into the inside of the microwave, through the vent slits, from the sides and rear of the unit.

Lasted just under 2 years, and then died.
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had this microwave for almost exactly 2 years and have absolutely loved it, until it all of a sudden, Yesterday it completely died.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBad Convection Oven
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As someone who's owned many different models of convection microwave, this one was by far the worst. Because the heating element is located at the top, it just burns the tops of everything without cooking the bottom. It doesn't matter what racks or dishes or anything you use. The results are always the same, uneven baking.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendMrs.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So many options, don't know how to use it for toast! I need more support to use this appliance. The directions are not complete. Considering returning it and buying a toaster for $25.00.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendFire hazard on air fryer setting
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Less than three months after we bought this machine, my teenage son went to reheat some leftover french fries on the air fryer setting. He used the cooking time chart included in the box, and checked in about four minutes before it was supposed to be done. With the rack raised for air frying, he couldn't see inside the machine, so he opened the door--and flames leapt out. Thank god he kept his head and extinguished the fire, or who knows what might have happened.

||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this mircowave 14 months ago so it's no longer under warranty. It now catches on fire when I use the convection feature. This is ridiculously unsafe, please stop selling this microwave.

Nice!
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice microwave/air fryer. I wish the air fryers didn’t get so hot around the outside of them, but I guess that’s all of them. Just have to make sure you don’t have anything the hot air will hurt sitting next to it.

Didn't last a year
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The microwave no longer turns on. The warranty process is for me to purchase another microwave out of pocket and then wait a possible 2 months to get possibly reimbursed instead of just sending me a replacement because they say it's not cost efficient to fix. Again we have not even really hit a full 6 months of use. Very disappointed for a $200+ microwave
No, I would not recommend this to a friendGood buy for the money
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this to replace the microwave that went bad on my fifth wheel. Cooks well. Air fryer works well. Only complaint is that no written instructions for use were included in the unopened box

Disappointed
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Difficult to use and not a fan favorite in our work lunchroom especially after a nurses lunch got “stuck” in the microwave. Even the Best Buy geek squad couldn’t get it out when we returned. You get what you pay for. Beyond disappointed
