What Customers Are Saying

The microwave has a sleek, modern design and high-quality build that customers describe as beautiful and stunning. It features intuitive touch controls, bright LED lighting, and powerful performance that provides even heating and a large interior capacity. Many customers appreciate how well the microwave integrates with other appliances in their kitchen. However, some have experienced issues with the popcorn sensor, Wi-Fi connectivity, and overall reliability, and a few found the dial-based controls less convenient than a numeric keypad. Despite these concerns, the overall sentiment is very positive, and many customers highly recommend the microwave.

No manual- very cheap for a high end appliance!

Would Not Recommend

I am tremendously disappointed that you don’t even offer a user manual with the product. I have to specifically request one. That is the height of cheapness. This is supposed to be a high-end appliance. How am I supposed to know how to get the best use out of it without a user manual? Also, There is an artifact on the front glass that is extremely noticeable. This is the second microwave that I’ve gotten that has this problem. It looks like a long scratch in the front of the glass on the insi...

CAFÉ™ 2.1 Cu. Ft. Smart Over-the-Range Microwave

It is a good choice if you already own other Café Modern Glass appliances. The Scan-to-Cook and Chef Connect are cited as really useful, at least for me, its glass exterior and steam-clean enamel interior make it easier to clean.

Good Microwave, Good Value

Would Recommend

Great performance.. It's a little larger than we expected, but fits our space. Our only issue is that the time doesn't appear consistently on the front of the microwave. Strange!

Very loud and large but small inside. Control panel buttons don’t aren’t sensitive to touch and don’t work at times

Needs redesign

Love the clean look. However , to use ANY microwave feature, need to open door to "light-up" any options on door. Only time is displayed when door is closed. Not helpful.

Looks great but could be designed better

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First of all this microwave is beautiful. Two issues with it though. First the exhaust fan has 4 speeds but they are all so loud (even on low) you can’t hardly stand close to it. Secondly you have to open the door to get the control panel to light up. It should light up when you touch it.

Was it worth it?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Had to call for repair the day of installation because several key connections weren’t properly put together. Microwave randomly stopped, would flash on and off rapidly, and couldn’t keep proper time. Thankfully was a quick fix but made my wife and I question whether buying a higher end appliance was really worth it. Love the look. Time will tell regarding longevity and value for the higher price cafe’ platinum glass.

Sleek looking microwave

Would Recommend

The microwave is aesthetically pleasing and performs well. The vent is powerful enough for our gas range BTU outputs. We changed all four appliances to same platinum glass and it works well in our kitchen. Only drawback in this microwave is to 'activate' the buttons when microwave is off to say start the vent. Opening and closing the door activates the button. Touching the pad is still a learning curve on where to touch to activate the lighted buttons. Overall good microwave.

Totally Worth It!

Would Recommend

Installation was perfect. The microwave looks fabulous. I love the sweetness of the exterior and that the controls are not always visible, but easily pulled up. Love that I can connect it to my stove and have the lights and fans turn on automatically when I turn on a burner. By the way, they turn off automatically after a while not sure how long. Totally worth it!
