Problem on the horizon with door latch
Lgsl
7/31/2019
The microwave was recently installed and already the door latch button is not feeling right. When I depress the button to open the door it doesn't always catch and I have to work at getting the door to open. I can tell that it will totally fail soon. No problems with the microwave functions but if I can't open the door the unit is obviously useless.

I bought this microwave to replace an existing kitchen aid from 2006 which recently quit working. This one came recommended by our local appliance store. They ordered the microwave along with the installation kit to mount above our oven in the wall. I was immediately dissatisfied with the finished look. It does not have a flush side finish. It is flush on the bottom and top, but the sides leave a huge gap. I assume this gap is for ventilation, however you can see the microwave and even through to the other side of my kitchen. Completely cheap looking! The front even has gaps. I called the appliance company as well as kitchen aid custom service and apparently this is the only kit available and there are none with an aesthetically pleasing look like my original mount. The kitchen aid customer service representative was rude to me and kept shifting the blame to the installer, not the product itself. I wish I had just gone with another brand. We have used kitchen aid appliances faithfully since 2002. Not anymore! Not only am I dissatisfied with the cheap look, poorly designed and I'll fitted kit, but the microwave is very difficult to OPEN!! I mean my daughter swears it requires magic. Lol! It is a very stiff button to push. Overall, not a happy customer. Maybe fine for countertop, not built in!

This was part of our new house purchase. Fits great in a cabinet to keep it off the countertop. Only negative may be a little small.

Poorer quality than earlier model. Noisy.

I had a similar K.A. Microwave that died after 15 years. I had great service from the old one so replaced with closest available. Bought the trim kit for the new model. Labelled correctly, but neither kit nor micro had needed screwholes shown in instructions. Am trying to make it work, but trim kit doesn't allow door to fully open. Also, the new micro is much noisier than the old one and sounds tinny when door closes. My kitchen is all this brand, but standards appear to have changed. Lots of money to spend for disappointment.

I have had two of these units in the last 3 years and each failed at just over a year when they went out of warranty. KitchenAid's response "try outlet.kitchenaid.com and see if there is low priced one to replace it with. We don't service counter top models. But we would just replace it if it was under warranty." Not even a concession on the price of a replacement! Don't believe me, look at the photo. This model number. Manufactured in June 2017 but purchased in January 2018. Failed in June of 2019 less than 18 months later.

Defective After 15 Months of Use
Steve1000
7/10/2019
This was my third KitchenAid microwave. The first was broken after 15 months of use. The second one was broken within 12 months so I got a new one from KitchenAid. The third one was broken after 15 months of use and out of warrantee. Microwave supposed to last more than 5+ years. For some reason KitchenAid microwave tends to breakdown around a year time frame.

We got this microwave to replace one that failed after 10 years. Unfortunately, the old size and model was discontinued and this does not have the great appearance and solid feeling our last one did. We give it 4 stars because it fits and it cooks quickly. We're hesitant to rate it higher than that because of the comments of the opener latch that fails. Ours does not open smoothly. One has to press it hard, and suddenly it gives. There is no smoothness or ease of pressure to the opening mechanism. Perhaps this is just a quirk that will continue for the next 10 years, or it's a sign of a poorly designed latch. So it just gets 4 stars.

I bought this 2 months ago to replace a previous Kitchen Aid microwave we purchased with our new home. It was very disappointing that the first microwave quit in 3 years. We tried to repair it, but parts were no longer available due to the first model being discontinued. More disappointment & $ for service call. Called Kitchen Aid & this model was the replacement for the surround we had in the new house. $500 later at Home Depot we had a working microwave. Ugh!!!!

Top of the line that can't be fixed
Microjacked
5/6/2019
Bought 4 of these for the new suite our firm has moved into. Two for our breakroom & two for our catering kitchen. Have one that started making loud noise while cooking and actually called a KitchenAid service tech here and San Diego. Long story short. Paid the tech $70 bucks to tell me it cannot be fixed. Apparently this model is $600 bucks of trash because you can't fix it after the one year warranty. Imagine paying good $$ for a car and not being able to fix it.... This was not disclosed when purchased. Very disappointed.

I had to replace my Countertop Microwave that was only 4 years old. I would have purchased another brand but because all of my applicances were Kitchenaid I was stuck. For the price that I paid, I feel I should have gotten something with more quality and that would last longer.

Much quieter than previous model. Wish there was a way to reduce the number of beeps when cooking is finished, it seems to be either all or none.

We selected KitchenAid appliances for our new construction home. This microwave is possessed. From the start, when you close the door, 50% of the time it will beep once and the clock will reset to 00:00. Last week, I closed the door after removing an item and the microwave came on, with NO time remaining. I opened the door and closed it again and it started again. On the third try, it did not come on again, whew! On top of that, now the 7, 8, & 9 do not work at all when selected. This microwave is only 1 1/2 years old. My first experience with KitchenAid, but since it is out of warranty, I guess I will be looking for a replacement before this one decides to cook on its own again.

Replacement Kitchen Aid Microwave for the wall

Microwave works great. We realized how dependent we are with this. The mechanism to open the door seems hard to push open but okay. The alert beeps after cooking has ended is loud & does not stop even when you open the door is awfully loud. Inside turntable works well for heat distribution. So - all in all - Good Product.

We have had this microwave for all most a year and still do not like it. The microwave heats up very slowly. The convection oven also does not work well. We have a convection on our regular oven but thought we could use this instead of heating the large oven.
I told the appliance company a two months after we purchased it we hated it and they would not take it back. They did cover up two holes that had light shining through the bottom with some silver tape.
I like Kitchenaid but do not purchase this microwave/convection oven. We regret we did.

I purchased KitchenAid as part of my builder package. The countertop microwave with trim package was built into my custom cabinets. Like the others who reviewed, the seldom used touch pad quit working. I called Flamingo paid $98 for service call only to find out no parts are available anywhere. I called KitchenAid and was told I would have to buy a new unit. Unfortunately, this is not a good situation and does not speak favorably about KitchenAid products.

Plastic too easily scratched keypad!
Cfss
12/29/2018
Less than a month after having this installed, I discovered that the "start" & "stop" buttons are scratched! The most used part of this appliance & the cheapest performance! The plastic covering of the keypad is scratched! Why is the keypad covered with easily marred plastic? Better yet why is this plastic? I am truly dissatisfied with this keypad & would expect that Kitchen Aid would replace it. I purchased an electric wall oven, duel fuel free standing range, dishwasher & this microwave. Purchased the top end of Kitchen Aid appliances.

Replaced older KA microwave...
Barrie
10/21/2018
This is an updated version of an older KitchenAid unit that has worked wonderfully for many years. The only failure after all that time was the "Push to Start" button, or surface. New unit: Same good quality. Only comment that perhaps needs to be considered: The "Push to Start" surface requires much more pressure than the prior unit, perhaps a bit more pressure than is needed. I called the company and they told me that there is no way to adjust the amount of pressure required to start the microwave.
