Author's Review
I purchased this product to match my Kitchenaid stainless kitchen suite, without having to pay the price of a Kitchenaid appliance. We were also able to place it in is a "built in" configuration with an optional stainless built in kit. It seems to fill well with the Kitchenaid and probably would match well with any stainless group. The microwave's stainless wrapping is magnetic unlike the Kitchenaid products. Some may feel this is a bad thing, but to us, it is the only place in our kitchen we can put magnets.
I also purchased it for the convection settings, but have found that it seems easier to use the oven. I have used it to bake things such as cookies and chicken. With the chicken the messy microwave afterwords convinced me not to do it again. It does seem, however, to cook and back adequately. We do use it daily, and have no problems with being reliable daily microwave cookery and reheating. The defrost options are very easy to follow and works well. One thing it does well is sensor cooking of vegetables. You can place raw vegetables in it such as carrots, broccoli, potatoes and it will determine on its own how long it needs to cook them. It says foil can be used in it, but doing this sometimes creates a spark, so I tend not to do it. Another quirky think is popcorn popping. With popcorn popping, the popcorn bag has to be elevated off the bottom of the carousel or else the sensor will pop it incorrectly. With it elevated, the popcorn turn out well.
