Installer wouldn't Install

Would Not Recommend

I purchased this microwave online for my mother-in-law. The 3rd party installer came and didn't do anything. He looked at the existing microwave and said the new one won't work, something about the "hinges being inside versus outside. How is anyone to know which will work and which won't? He cancelled my order and returned the new microwave to the store. Now I don't know what to do. I cannot tell which on will work. HELP !!!

It’s perfect. Had to replace the one I “burned up”.? Next time, I will use Lowe’s installation services. Took me a week to find someone to install it.

It seems to work fine, but closing the door is a bit tinny.

Great features!

I really like how you can use the timer and microwave at the same time. It's very quiet as well.

Microwave for the MIL

Her old one only ran with the door open... Yikes! Lowe's to the rescue. Looked up the old model # and found the replacement. Walked in, bought, went to her house and installed. Perfect fit and it works with the door shut!!!

The Express Time is Annoying

Would Not Recommend

The express time is annoying when you just want to warm up a cup of coffee for 20 seconds. At least give customers the option to turn it off!

Great fit

The cooking area is large which is a plus. This was a perfect fit to replace original microwave. We installed it ourselves and it wasn’t too bad.
