    Went to location on Beach and Imperial. Was waiting at the customer center for appliances for 20 minutes. There was 3 or 4 representatives in the cubicle. Not a one acknowledged us. No one said, we’re busy but will be right with you. Sorry for the wait. Nothing. I went home and ordered online. I will never go in your store again. I am need of new large appliances, but I will go to Home Depot or Lowe’s.

  • Breaks down after a year

    This model has been good for us up until recently. We purchased it February 2020. Now it does not heat. Power is fine, timer is ok, but would not engage and heat. I searched for issues since I was confused. I came back to reviews of this item with issues and a faulty fuse being common. It's absolutely true. This started happening after about a year well out of the warranty period. Now we are having someone come fix it. By the sounds of other review we could be dealing with this issue often. A $178 microwave shouldn't be breaking down after a year, avoid buying this model if possible!

    Purchased and installed by Best Buy in 1/2018.... No longer works and has to be replaced 11/2020. Shut off in the middle of cooking, and the keypad is completely dead. Flipped the breaker on and off, now it only lights up inside, then goes dead again as soon as you press a key. TOTAL GARBAGE.

  • Don't buy an "Open Box" item

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    bought this microwave as an Open Box, supposed to have all the parts. Missing the Support Bar and the bag of hardware. What was supposed to be a bargain, ended up costing me hours of time running to the hardware store, and the cost of purchasing a generic support bar and all the missing hardware.

    Had issues with the older version of this unit, broken handle, cracked plastic covers and it died even though we’ve only used it for less than two years. We’ll see how long this one lasts

    I am not happy with the all black face and the buttons on the microwave you can not see. Very hard to read. I was hoping they would be in white.

    Stopped working on the year anniversary hence, no warranty, if you buy ensure additional warranty is purchased. Worked great while it lasted. The cost for parts is worth the repair.

    It fit the space, was white and avilable. Installers cost less than some others. It does what we need but does not have some of the buttons that the Kenmore did.
