The convection and baking capabilities

You know you're a grown up when you get excited over a microwave. I wasn't planning to replace my old one but it was stainless and didn't look right with my new white Cafe appliances. I didn't realize what I was missing until I got this one hooked up and working. The controls are simple to figure out and the convection and baking capabilites will come in super handy this summer when I don't want to fire up the oven. Great microwave!

Easy installation

The supplied instruction were easy to follow. It took two hours to remove the old microwave and install the new microwave. Once we plugged in the microwave, we tried all the cool settings, ventilation fan, and light and all worked with no issues. The capacity was a little smaller than my previous KitchenAid (2.0) but the Cafe is still large enough for my needs.

Great microwave with amazing features

High performance, and great looking appliance. Goes great with our Cafe oven.

Great features

So far we are loving the look and ease of use. We like the dial control!

Great features and style!

This is the second microwave that I’ve bought. The is the first Cafe style since I really liked the look of it. My other is just the GE brand but they are almost identical.I love the different functions of it and that I can use it as an extra oven during the holidays. There’s plenty is space.

Fairly good

Easy to use, pretty good as a microwave. Vent is not as powerful as I hoped. Air fry feature doesn't work well... not hot enough fast enough. Convection cook works fairly well. Clock matching (so it shows same time as the range) quit working with daylight savings.

Large capacity and loaded with features

Large capacity was one feature I looked for when buying a convection microwave. The many features were also a contributing feature that caught my eye.

Great addition

Beautful addition to our kitchen. Love that it ties into range- fan and light activate when using burners.

Great use of warming foods

Really like the ease of heating leftovers up & making popcorn too.

Lovely but complicated!

Just received this microwave and am still exploring its many features. So far I am very pleased with the warming and cooking capabilities. I had to print the manual as I was not sure how to use all the functions ( will increase to 5 stars if and when I finish exploring this microwave). I would really like a video on how to use this appliance to it’s fullest.

Performance

Great microwave, did not expect the rack. Thank you !

Perfect execution

It literally does everything extremely well. It also is stunning in design and seamlessly matched our other Cafe appliances, Oven, Dishwasher and Refrigerator

Frustrating detail

I like our microwave. I'm super frustrated by a tiny thing -- this is the one cafe appliance in our home that doesn't connect to wifi / the app. I'd you're going to put the fridge and the oven and the dishwasher and the laundry machines on there, why would you leave this off? Why can I boil water from my phone, but not remote start the microwave or have its clock auto update? Frustrating detail.

Great Microwave

Get microwave with alot of functions beside just a microware, i.e. convection oven. Very elegant looking and easy to use with the display choices.

Would not recommend

It looks nice, but the performance is subpar. It takes three times longer to air fry items than air fryer recipes suggest, three times longer than convection cook recipes suggest and twice as long to microwave items. Why would a higher end microwave air fryer convection oven with all these bells and whistles only be 950 W. It looks good in the brochure, but does everything substandard. Absolutely would not recommend it

Great Features

Beautiful microwave and lots of features, the matte white is beautiful and the bronze handles.

Well made and beautiful OTR

Well made. Honestly it one of the best looking OTR on the market

Cafe Applicances

Just installed both the Cafe dishwasher and the Cafe microwave. Wish there were better instruction manuals with both the microwave and the dishwasher. So far so good. Very nice looking appliances. They seem well made. The dishwasher is very quiet. The washing cycles are quite long but there are options.

Don’t get rid of your countertop air fryer

I thought I’d be able to get rid of my countertop air fryer, but no. It’s a decent microwave, but had I realized the air fryer portion of the oven is so underpowered, to make it almost useless, I wouldn’t have not spent the extra dollars on this unit.

Great product!

Great product. I love all the features and how much space it has to pok large items. The air fryer feature is awesome!
