Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

We were looking for a replacement for an over the range microwave/ exhaust fan. We wanted one with a better exhaust. Came across this one. The exhaust fan is great and the smaller size has not been an issue.

DMF95 11/5/2019

The unit was installed about a month ago and since then it has been a pleasure. Not only is the quality excellent the aesthetics are wonderful. With the slimmer profile it feels like there is a ton of room to cook on the stove top. And with most controls hidden with the door we love the minimalist look and feel. Could not be happier.

The microwave light does not work properly as it will turn on high, low but not off. A maintenance guy came a week later and said it was a sensor. Waiting for that part. This was a very expensive appliance and I did not buy the extra warranty as Kitchen Aid is a quality appliance. Hope it is not a lemon as it's brand new!!!

great Microwave but cosmeticly poor

mbp1952 7/30/2019

The finish on the open button started to wear off after just 2 mts. My 5 year warrentee only covers this if reported in the first 30 days. For what this item retails for it should last longer I also bought a range at the same time and had to have a repair due to the finish on control panel being pitted, Kitchen aid is not the Quality i thought it was.

Plenty of room

TTessKS 6/25/2019

My biggest worry was the size inside. I have one dish I use for a breakfast casserole and I didn't think it would fit, but it does. As for outside dimensions, any other over range microwave would have been too big for my space. This one fits perfectly.

avantigel 5/23/2019

The low profile was the perfect solution for limited clearance above the stovetop. It provides plenty of room for stirring pots on the back burners. I am pleasantly surprised with the ample lighting both for the stovetop and inside the appliance.

French door counterdepth frig, water inside

Maryvanessa 3/28/2019

Mine has made a cycling noise since the day I got it, they replaced the part, I was sick for the year, at just under year same part already louder, they are agreeing to pay for 44$ part but then I have to cover install 125$ that's ridiculous for a new over 2300$ refrigerator. It's so loud I can hear it back in my bedroom. I really feel sick that this is going to be ongoing issue.

Finally, a microwave that fits in my small kitchen

Bizy lady 3/18/2019

This low profile microwave gives me much more room on my stovetop. This microwave's size now allows me to use my large soup pot without turning the lid upside down because there was not enough height from the stovetop to the bottom of the old one. The outer trim of the microwave matches my Kitchenaid gas range exactly. Installation was fairly simple, also. Am very satisfied with options and ease of use. Would recommend.

Binnie 2/25/2019

I wasn't sure about the capacity of this as it wasn't in the showroom but I ordered it anyhow. It handles everything I need it to. It gives me more light in the added space to work at the range and the fans are the best. Easy to use.

Toad24 1/19/2019

Purchased this microwave hood about a month ago and could not be more pleased. In our kitchen the larger microwave hoods would not fit. The new ultra slim design is perfect. We love it!! Another great design feature was the ease of installation. The mounting plate doubles as the install template! Great job Kitchenaid. Another great design is the Bright LED lighting!

Daytona675R 1/17/2019

Needed a new microwave after our old one was getting "tired". I didn't realize how big new microwaves have gotten! I was so thrilled to see that KitchenAid made a low profile option. Easy to install, easy to use, and works really well. Not to mention, it looks great!

techie junky 12/30/2018

We've had the microwave now for a few weeks, replacing our old LARGE 1200 watt over the range microwave. This microwave is SOOOO quiet and the fan is extremely powerful for using our gas range with grill. We love everything about it.

Space-saving replacement for an old vent hood

WayneS 12/28/2018

This product allowed me to get rid of a large countertop microwave and free up a lot of space in my kitchen. The dimensions of the KitchenAid were exactly what I needed to reuse the previous exhaust vent. After buying the KitchenAid, I saw a Whirlpool WML55011 in a store. It looks exactly like the KitchenAid for a lower price. Hmm. Feeling a little dumb for paying the higher price for the KitchenAid name.

Dr Deb 10/29/2018

We bought this to replace a larger microwave that had stopped working. I love the slim line look and lights under the unit that brighten the stove cooking area. I find the controls a little challenging, and I can't hear the timer chimes in the next room. The first one that was delivered was damaged inside the box and it took several weeks to get the replacement installed via Home Depot.

I wasn't sure about spending the extra money for a low profile Microwave. But in the end I'm glad that I did. It looks nice and the size is plenty enough. The fan works great-and with 4 speeds. The LED light is the nicest I've seen on an over the stove unit.
