Broken part

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Cane with a broke inlet cover and I can’t get anyone on the phone due to being put on hold for over an hour. Also when I look for the part online it says it’s discontinue. This is unacceptable

Mine not reliable, poor functionality & design

Would Not Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm an architect & my first microwave lasted me about 17 years. In 2009 I remodeled my kitchen & went with stainless steel. I bought a built-in then & it lasted me 16 years, until July 2025. My cooking habits have not changed, I use it almost every day for light cooking such as frozen vegetables, fresh vegetables, hot cereal, pancakes, defrosting, heating left-overs, cooking gravy & so on. My most-used cooking times are between 1 & 8 minutes. ...
