I got it installed, my old one quit and it was over 22 years old, I was worried about getting one to fit and having to get work done to trim it out but it fit perfectly and the installer did a great job!

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.

Great features

I purchased this a few weeks ago. It heats well and has several quick, censored heating options. It does do a loud humming noise when it first starts, but that quickly goes silent. Not sure if that's normal. The inside also seems warm all the time.

We needed it!!

Our microwave died and we were excited to find the same "updated' model. Our sales guy was amazing. We installed the over ourselves and are happy with the purchase.

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

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