Maytag MMV4205

Pros: Price, overall looks, size and ease of use

Cons: At altitude, auto settings don't work so hot.

The Bottom Line: This unit will work well for most people. If you consider yourself a Gourmet, you might not be happy with the basic functions.

Review: I have learned several things since I started in the business of appliances. Most importantly I have learned that price is a good place to start for quality. They don’t always go hand in hand but there is a relationship. This machine is not only a ...

Pros: easy to use, cooks quickly, enough options to keep me happy.

Cons: fan is noisy, not always sure what time to use for food items.

Review: we replaced our old GE with this model recently. it has lived up to our expectations of being able to reheat leftovers, cook vegetables, melt butter plus the usual small chores when cooking larger meals. it is easy to clean, and the turntable is easy to ...

Pros: Size for the money

Cons: No complaints yet.

Review: We shopped around quite a bit and found this one at our local home improvement store. We selected this one because it was a combination of the most powerful and largest of the over-the-range-microwaves we could find for a modest price. Since it has ...

Pros: Cooks well and quicker than other microwaves. Is attractive.

Cons: Sound is too low to hear. Easy to overcook foods.

The Bottom Line: Check out other reviews. Maybe mine is a lemon.

Review: We purchased this microwave in a Bisque color to match the new Maytag oven we installed during a complete Kitchen remodel, September 2006. It cooks very quickly, which is not a bad thing. The directions on the backs of food packages should be adjusted ...

Pros: Very powerful oven. Appearance is nice and clean.

Cons: For every cooking option button there is at LEAST one sub-menu. Too much effort!

The Bottom Line: I would hesitate to recommend this oven because I already seem to have two repair issues in just two months.

Review: We purchased this oven about 2 months ago. About two weeks after first use I glanced underneath and saw that the glass cover on the light was cracked in many pieces. We were fairly sure we hadn't done the damage during installation of the oven, but we ...

Pros: Built in fan and light
Large capacity

Cons: Downlight too dim
Too much power--overcooks most foods
Presets too complicated

The Bottom Line: The oven is difficult to use and tends to overcook foods. I would not recommend it.

Review: I bought this Maytag microwave from Sears two years ago and have still not gotten used to the heat output.  When heating tomato sauce, the sauce bumps out of the container, even when using a very low setting.  I almost never use the highest ...

Pros: Love the melting, softening and defrosting programming.  Makes perfect popcorn.

Cons: Poor quality.  Unreliable.

Review: I love the way this microwave looks and works BUT it has not been reliable.  When it was 3 or 4 months old, it quit working.  The repairman discovered the internal wiring had been done incorrectly, causing wires to come in contact with ...

Pros: Price

Cons: Motor on fan faulty, Maytag service, noisy ventilation fan

Review: Seven months after purchase, the motor on the microwave fan froze and it had to be replaced. Fortunately, it was under warrantee. Unfortunately, it took 2 service calls to fix it. Now it's 2 years old and the same motor on the microwave fan isn't ...

Pros: None

Cons: Biggest waste of money ever, avoid like the plague

The Bottom Line: Don't buy anything from Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air or Amana.

Review: Model: MMV4205BAB Serial: 10006643JL Ordered and Purchased from Home Depot: Jan. 2007 Delivered and Installed: March 2007 Failed: Aug. 2007 Original Symptom: Does not heat food Current Symptom after 3 repair attempts by Maytag service tech: Does ...

Pros: Looks nice, microwave works ok

Cons: The range hood fan & light are both totally useless

The Bottom Line: Save yourself time and money, buy a separate microwave and fan. The idea is nice, but it doesn't work.

Review: Our old microwave died after a couple years, and the range hood over the stove didn't work, so when I saw the Maytag over the range microwave w/vent hood, it sounded great. What a great idea, I'd save space on the counter and get a new over the range ...
