[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this microwave overall. The design is modern and sleek, especially the matte black finish with the edge-to-edge glass display—it looks amazing in the kitchen. The performance is also great: it heats food evenly, runs quietly, and the controls are easy to use.
However, the main downside is the ventilation system. The fan is not strong enough, and every time we cook (especially anything with smoke or strong odors), the smoke spreads throughout the house and even triggers the smoke alarm. For an over-the-range microwave, I expected much better ventilation performance.
Aside from that, everything else works perfectly. If ventilation is important to you, this is something to consider. Otherwise, it’s a solid and stylish microwave.
