Excellent over-the-counter microwave hood

This is a great microwave - it looks great and cooks evenly. It has a sensor so there is no more guessing on cooking time and power. Everthing comes out perfect and reheated items appear freshly prepared! Amazing! At first it was strange to "dial" in my categories and directions; however I now prefer... read full review »

BUY THE WARRANTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We purchased this microrange about two years ago. In this time, the touchscreen display has "wigged" out twice, the first time it reset itself after I unlpugged the unit and plugged it back in. The exhuast fan is WEAK (read the cfm compared to other units). While the unit did cook well, I still think... read full review »

venting system is useless

I love the look of this microwave and after two years of use, it's going strong BUT, and this is a HUGE BUT, the venting fan is so weak as to be completely useless.

BUYERS BEWARE !!!

I purchased this microwave 1 1/2 years ago. My husband and I were very pleased until approximately 1 1/2 months ago when the LCD screen started to go. Now, it is completely blank and the microwave is rendered useless. I received a repair quote today........$450 (which includes labor) if the problem is strictly LCD or $750 for both LCD components! I was shocked to say the least! This microwave is only 6 months out of the one year warranty period and the LCD is shot. One would only hope that by purchasing a $760 microwave that it would last for at least 5+ years, and not one year and six months.... read full review »

2 stars

We bought our new house about 13 months ago and were extremely please with the appliances. Unfortunatly, the microwave made a fool of us. One month after the 1-year warranty expired the LCD went out. Now I'm faced with either repair fees or repurchase fees. I'll never buy another Kenmore appliance again.

Very disappointed

The microwave/oven worked great...for about a year and a half and then if stopped working altogether. The Sears serviceman said it could not be repaired due to bad "cards". For such an expensive oven, you would think it would be more durable.
