Ratings & Reviews for Cafe 23.9-in 1.2-cu ft 1000 -Watt Microwave Drawer ( Matte Black )

Great features

Much easier to to remove hot products safely from the drawer.

Controls designed by monkeys

Lack of backlighting of controls is a major inconveninece. Typically Microwave Drawers are mounted below waiste level to facilitate raising cookware above the door and side rails. Since the controls do not angle out (see Sharp Microwave Drawers), reading non-backlit controls requires strong room lighting and the need to bend down to put the controls at eye level.

Microwave review

Very nice looking. The open/close is very sensitive and will often open when only standing in front of the microwave.

Beautiful built-in mic

Just had my kitchen remodeled and this built-in microwave is such a beautiful asset in my kitchen. It’s not bulky yet. Looks very stylish in my island 10/10. Recommend to anyone. And for the microwave itself, it works wonderfully heats up stuff very evenly!

Microwave

Delivery was on time. Fits perfect. I’m excited to start using it.

No lit control panel???

Expensive unit with no control panel backlighting is unacceptable. We would never have purchased this if we we knew that. So inconvenient to bend over without seeing control panel selections.

Great microwave

I love this microwave - I think a good change would be to put the controls on top of the door so you can see them without bending over.

Well made

Easy to use. Quality made product Heats up quickly and evenly

Great microwave

Excellent microwave! Glad we bought one for our new home

Roopa

Nice. Easy to clean. All features are there. Easy to defrost the food.

Malfunctioning early on

We just had this installed and have only been using it about a week when the drawer would immediately close upon opening. I thought maybe someone leaned on the panel and changed a setting but I cannot find any setting anywhere related to this. In order to get the drawer to stay open we have to press "close" once it is open far enough and it will stop. This is literally brand new. Does anyone have any info or tips?

Great Microwave

Great appliance. Beautiful to look at and easy to use. 5/5 Stars

Very Glitchy microwave

This microwave is very glitchy. The drawer started going in by itself. You would have to put your food in quickly or your hand would get pinched. Now that stopped and we have to push the close button twice for some reason.

Great features!

Ease of use and feature rich! Very nice addition to recently renovated kitchen.

Very Cool!

This is the coolest microwave on the market!! We love that it is in the cabinets and not over the stove or on the wall under or over the oven -- a much cleaner look and gives us space for two ovens (Also Cafe of course!) The position of the buttons was easy to learn -- not long before we weren't bending over to figure out what to push.

Nice but appears to be junk

Thought a built in Microwave was a great upgrade for my new kitchen. Broke after 8 months and hardly used. Have a 5-year warranty with Bray and Scarf and parts have been on order for almost 3 months. I have always bought GE appliances, but I may be changing my mind since I cannot get any satisfaction where I bought it from.

Worked great until it didn’t

Bought approximately 5 months ago. Assumed with a higher price tag that we would get a quality appliance. The magnetron already needs replaced, which is luckily under warranty. Did not expect issues this early on in the lifetime of the appliance.

Pleased with this model

Easy to install. Very smooth drawer action. Looks great in my existing island.

Sleek Lines for a modern look!

It was easy to install. We absolutely love the look of it and it’s very easy to operate.

Sleek and classic

So far I’m loving this microwave, it looks great in my new kitchen, and I love the open and close feature. It’s sleek and has a smooth open and close drawer type door. I like the sensor settings for different types of dishes.
