RobbyB says "Worst microwave I have ever had" about Kenmore Elite 2.0 cu. ft. Microhood Combination with Even Glide Plus Turntable

RobbyB — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 17:48:45 GMT

Let me list the problems I have had.

1. Tray jumps off the track, this knocks top heavy containers on their side spilling the contents. This also may cause the container to know the top tray off the plastic hooks and when the metal of the tray touches the sides it sparks and burns the surface.

2. Sometimes the display goes out inexplicably, found that unplugging the power and plugging it back in brings it back.

3. The vent does absolutely nothing, steam bellows out and around the microwave face.

4. The vent faceplate broke the two tiny tabs that hold it on so it leans forward unattached now.

Mammotech99 says "Noisey and Dark" about Kenmore 30 in. Microhood Combination

I bought this microwave hood combination last March to replace our old hood vent and gain some counter space in our small kitchen. It was not easy to install. Like our Kenmore dishwasher and garbage disposal, the microwave is NOISEY (I run the dishwasher on my way to bed or we wouldn't be able to watch TV). 3 months ago, the light went out, but due to surgery, it waited. Imagine my surprise when there were NO 30 watt candelabra bulbs available at Sears or Kmart or *****. You can order one through the Sears website for $7.49 plus shipping & tax, or if you are lucky like me, you can find 2 at a local appliance store for $3.25 (including tax). BUT apparently when the bulb blew, it did something else because even with a new bulb, the oven doesn't light. I give up. We will NEVER EVER purchase another Kenmore product. When the next appliance quits, we'll buy Whirlpool...like our replacement refrigerator. We will not buy anything from Sears again. I'd rather pay a little...

GeeS says "Perfect for small kitchens in dormrooms/tiny apartments" about GE Appliances 1.5 cu. ft. Microwave Oven

I have had my GE 1.5 cu. ft. Microwave Oven for two years now and I find it to be satisfactory. Besides the fact that I find it noisy, I really feel for the price, it is the perfect microwave for a student on a budget who will use this for a few years and who will probably end up selling it at the end of their student career (likely for a very very low price). Although it does not some of the fancy heating options like the other microwaves, I feel that it was perfect for me as I never end up using them anyways!
