Know before you buy
No, this model is designed for recirculating venting, meaning it filters air through the unit and releases it back into the kitchen. It is a great choice if you cannot vent your microwave to the outside of your home.
Yes, the 1.9 cu. ft. capacity is quite spacious. You can also turn the turntable off, which allows you to fit larger or rectangular dishes that might otherwise get stuck while rotating.
The steam clean feature uses the moisture from a bowl of water to loosen food splatters and spills inside the cavity. Once the cycle is complete, you can simply wipe the interior clean with a damp cloth or sponge without needing harsh chemicals.
Sensor cooking controls automatically detect the humidity levels released by your food during the heating process. The microwave then adjusts the power level and time accordingly to prevent overcooking or drying out your meals.
The 400-CFM fan is quite robust for an over-the-range microwave and features four different speed settings. It is effective at clearing smoke and odors from standard daily cooking, though it may not match the performance of a dedicated high-end range hood.
The melt feature is specifically calibrated for delicate ingredients like butter, chocolate, caramel, and marshmallows. It uses lower power levels to ensure these items melt smoothly without scorching or burning.
