Pricey Microwave for Short Warranty

I loved the look of this, and the function....until....I've had this for one year and one month. The turntable just cracked in half while steaming a bag of corn.
Now I'm told that I'm out of warranty (one year) and I can buy the parts on my own.
Don't get me wrong- I love the look of this microwave. I love the function. However, If I'm paying this much for a microwave, I'd assume that that it function correctly for more than one year.

We like the microwave. We where limited due to the built in space we had. The Kitchen Aid microwave we purchased fit our space. We had confidence in Kitchen Aid products thus our decision. Othe microwaves we liked didn’t fit due to their size being too high or too deep. Several retailers we visited stated most microwaves are now 30” wide. Our width limit was 25.

We have had this microwave for less than a month and it completely broke on us. We had a repair man out to look at it and he’s having to order a huge amount of parts to fix it. I asked Best Buy if they could please just exchange it since we had it less than a month we’re all in quarantine and I have five kids, family of 7, wanting a microwave They wouldn’t do it they insist that I have to have it exchanged within 14 days. Insanity. So, now I’m waiting for parts to come in. Going to be a whole week. Repair man is not sure that it will make it work. Could be a lemon. Should’ve just bought a cheapie microwave and stuck it in my hole where my built-in should go like I had before. I’m disappointed with Best Buy. I even purchased a five year protection program on this thing. KitchenAid was incredibly helpful and send somebody out the day after I spoke to them. I have the microwave set up in my garage, as I have a special needs child with compromised health and I am not allowing people into my home during this crisis. They should have just made an exception and exchanged this microwave. I will never buy an appliance from Best Buy again. I’m hoping KitchenAid can get it fixed or replaced quickly, as it is not fun to not have a microwave and be on a stay-at-home order. Thanks Best Buy.

Really love that this microwave matches my other Kitchenaid appliances. I’ve only had it a few weeks so I’m still learning how to use it, but so far it’s great. Relatively quiet also.

**High-Quality Microwave with Great Features**
I recently added the KitchenAid 1.4 Cu. Ft. Built-In Microwave to my kitchen, and it has been a fantastic addition. This microwave combines sleek design with impressive functionality, making it an excellent choice for any kitchen.
**Sleek Design:** The stainless steel finish is modern and matches perfectly with my other KitchenAid appliances. It looks fantastic built into the cabinetry, giving my kitchen a seamless and polished appearance.
**User-Friendly:** The controls are intuitive and easy to navigate. I appreciate the variety of preset cooking options, which make heating up food and cooking simple dishes quick and effortless. The display is clear and responsive, adding to the overall user-friendly experience.
**Performance:** With 1.4 cu. ft. of space, it has plenty of room for most dishes, and the power output ensures that food is evenly heated. I’ve used it for everything from reheating leftovers to defrosting meat, and it performs consistently well every time.
**Quiet and Efficient:** The microwave operates quietly, which is a nice bonus, especially in an open kitchen. It also heats food efficiently, cutting down on the time I need to spend in the kitchen.
**Easy to Clean:** The stainless steel interior is easy to wipe down, and the turntable is removable, making clean-up a breeze.
Overall, I’m extremely satisfied with this KitchenAid microwave. It offers a perfect blend of style, convenience, and performance. If you're looking for a high-quality built-in microwave, I highly recommend this one!

This microwave is easy to use, plenty big and works well. The dial is pretty quick for setting intermediate power levels or specific time requirements but I find myself just clicking the “add minute” button a couple times for most items. This one has the side panels to fit a 27” or 30” built in space which is nice since we wanted a built in (that looks a lot nicer than a counter top model with surround trim) but didn’t want to splurge on the 30” unit that had convection and other features we didn’t need since we have 2 regular wall ovens with the convection baking option. One thing to be aware of is that the door opens down so if this is installed in a high position it can be hard for kids/shorter adults to reach inside to clean it out. Overall, we are very happy with this purchase.

Just remodeled our kitchen and this KitchenAid Built-in Microwave is So Pretty. It looks so “cute” built-in right next to our new KitchenAid double wall oven, because they look alike, just a smaller version. The Stainless Steel is very nice and prettier than other brands I’ve look at, so shiny. I also love that it includes the Stainless Steel frame to install this in a bigger size opening. Usually, you have to buy that separately. Not only is it Beautiful, but it works perfectly. We just had it installed a couple of weeks ago and have only used it a few times, but have had no problems. This KitchenAid Microwave is well built and I am very pleased with our purchase.

The microwave from KitchenAid is great. It heats up food quickly and the pre-defined functions work accurately as well.
The only down side for us was its door's inability to open fully at a perfect 90 degree. This prevented an easy access to the inner plate to place the food trays

Looks and Quality are Great! Little pricey and user interface is difficult to learn. If you mount it over your oven like we did it is hard to reach items inside due to the height and the drop down door. Side opening door if possible would have better.

We bought this as a replacement of the same model that went bad after 10 years, at first the LED lights started acting weird, then missing LED lights that made it hard to tell the time remaining. Alas, the buttons intermitently not working so we had to replace it. Wanted to buy another brand but due to the built in cabinetry, it would have required modification, therefore purchased the same unit hoping they have improved the quality otherwise it functions quieytly and effeciently.
