Whirlpool : WMH3205XVB 2.0 cu. ft. Over the Range Microwave - Black Review

Whirlpool : WMH3205XVB 2.0 cu. ft. Over the Range Microwave - Black

(More customer reviews)
We were asked to pick out appliances for our new home. I picked this one for three basic reasons. It was the same brand as the stove and fridge I picked out, was black, and went over the stove. I had no other criteria. Microwaves in the past, for us, have never been used for much more than reheating leftovers, microwave pancakes for our son in the morning and maybe a bag of popcorn every now and then.
Had I consciously decided to research more functionality in a microwave, this would have been it!! I cannot believe how awesome this microwave is.
Functions I've used:
* The "Dinner Plate" function is a thing to be awed. Load up a plate of leftovers, pop it in and hit ONE button (Dinner Plate). The microwave's internal sensor automatically adjusts the cook time to ensure the food is heated evenly throughout. WORD OF CAUTION: Do NOT stop the cycle to check the progress, then cancel and hit "Dinner plate" button again. For some reason it will get way too hot!
* The "Soften / Melt" function has been used numerous times already. You're able to select to soften different products (butter/ice cream/cream cheese). I've used it for both butter and ice cream. The butter selection truly softens your butter without having half soft and half melted. The ice cream selection is another thing that awed me. Our freezer was set too high, so our ice cream was like a rock. Put it in the microwave, selected the "Soften/Melt" button, hit "1" for soften, then "2" for ice cream, then key in the number of ounces. The consistency of the ice cream was perfect!!
* We just used the "Steam / Simmer" function last night to steam fresh asparagus for dinner. Again, we were thrilled with the outcome. We put 2 large bunches of fresh asparagus in a glass baking dish, drizzled with olive oil and seasoned with lemon juice, salt and pepper. Hit the "Steam" selection and steamed for about 10 minutes. Again, AMAZING!!
We've only been in our house just under two months and have already gotten so much enjoyment out of this microwave. I give it the highest recommendation and cannot wait to further investigate the other functions this oven has to offer.

My Wife thought I was nuts when this arrived in a box the size of an stove. We got the silver metallic with stainless trim. This thing does more than any other "microwave hood" I've read about or heard about. The sensors are abundent and amazing. We reheat something in it everyday. The steamer function allows to steam veggies with fish layered over the top to perfection everytime in the steamer unit that came with it.All with a push of a button. The exaust comes on automaticlly when is senses a high amount of heat or smoke. Can also be set manually. This is year 3 and now something is wrong with the touch sensor so I might recommend looking into extended warranty if its not too expensive. I ordered all new sensor board for $250 which is just about the whole door. Think I paid $800 for it new, and would buy another one......................... Askaspen

KitchenAid Architect Series II KHMS2050SSS 2.0 cu. ft. Over-the-Range Microwave Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Quite frankly - the best microwave I've ever used. Read several reviews around the net, and decided to go for it despite its fairly high price. So glad I did. First, it's flat-out great looking in my newly remodeled kitchen. More importantly, it seems to be more powerful (or at least more efficient) than any other micro I've ever used. It's simple to use - you can punch in time and power settings just like any other micro, but its preset and sensing options so far seem to be extremely accurate. That's quite a "bonus," as I really did not expect those to be much more than gimmicky, but they've proved me very wrong. Note - many micros in this price-range have convection (or more aptly "convection lite") built in; this one does not, but for me it wasn't an issue.
One thing to watch for is your vendor actually having it in stock. I actually tried to purchase this from 3 different vendors who advertised it as "in stock"; however, all 3 had to get it from the manufacturer. Not sure if this is industry-wide, or if I just had a little Schleprock-syndrome. On the first 2, I canceled the order once I got delivery estimates; on the 3rd one, I acquiesced and just waited the extra week. If you need it immediately, beware; if you can wait a week or two, settle in and wait - it's worth the wait.
UPDATE: After one year, it's still performing fine. Note however, this is one of the "leakiest" microwaves I've owned (from an RF perspective). When this microwave is running, it effectively kills any WiFi 802.11 b/g/n signal anywhere around. My profession involves wireless networking, and microwaves are notoriously bad about this, but I have to admit, this one (at least the one I have) is one of the most disruptive I've experienced - you absolutely cannot keep an 802.11 b/g/n connection with this microwave running ... good thing it's quick and doesn't run long ;-). (In case you care, I've had multiple routers/wireless APs and multiple wireless clients with the same results, so the "issue" seems to be with the microwave versus my computer equipment.)

JVM1790WK %2DProfile Spacemaker Series %2D Over%2Dthe%2DRange Microwave %2D White Review

JVM1790WK %2DProfile Spacemaker Series %2D Over%2Dthe%2DRange Microwave %2D White
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Bottom-Line: Overall I am very pleased with the GE Profile Model JVM1790WK Over-the-Range Convection/Microwave Oven.
None of us (except the uber-rich, who have enough money to ride the whole thing out) are immune to the economic downturn it seems. My wife and I had decided to put our house on the market this spring, but decided not to when the numbers just didn't add up in our favor. So we decided to remodel our small, but comfortable home instead.
In the kitchen and dining room we replaced the flooring. And we decided to replace our 10-year-old countertop microwave oven with an over-the-range convection/microwave oven, that could also act as a warming oven; we eventually choose the "GE Profile Model JVM1790WK" over-the-range convection/microwave oven, which we purchased for ($519.00) at our local Grants Appliances & TV.
The Unit
The 65lbs. "GE Profile Model JVM1790WK" over-the-range convection/microwave oven is an all-white 1.7 Cu. Ft. capacity, 1000 watt unit that offers the following feature-set:

oConvection cooking - produces flavorful, beautifully browned results
oFast bake - delivers oven-quality results up to 25% faster than conventional cooking
oSensor microwave oven - uses built-in sensors to automatically set power and time based on food moisture levels
oWarming oven - keeps prepared foods exceptionally warm and fresh
oAuto Recipe conversion - automatically converts standard recipe temperatures to proper convection settings, eliminating the guesswork
oBi-lingual scrolling display - provides helpful cooking tips and oven use instructions in easy to read English or Spanish
oThree speed, 300 CFM venting - allows adjustment of ventilation levels according to your needs
oEasy set control dial - allows quick and easy adjustment of time and temperature settings
oStainless steel interior - reflects heat and surface cleans quickly and easily
The unit is of course designed to fit is standard 30" over-the-range opening and fit into our opening rather nicely once the hood was removed. The all-white unit is attractive, and relatively easy to use and operate.
The "GE Profile Model JVM1790WK Microwave Oven" ships with a standard rotating glass plate, along with two stainless steel racks for convection roasting and baking, instruction manual, and cookbook.
During over-the-range installation one can choose to vent the "GE Profile Model JVM1790WK" outside or inside the kitchen via charcoal vent situated at the top of the unit. Air is drawn into the microwave via vents at the bottom. A two-way light is also situated at the bottom of the unit, but unfortunately it does not provide as much light as the hood it replaced. This is probably due to the face that the light is much closer to the cook top and it is off to the right front of the "GE Profile Model JVM1790WK." Push the "Surface Light" button once and the lamp comes on full power, push is again and the light enters night light mode.
The "GE Profile Model JVM1790WK" comes with a powerful 3-speed Vent (fan). Push the "Vent" once and the fan comes on High, push it again, medium, once again, low. Both the high and medium vent fan setting is quite noisy, but not annoyingly so.
Use
Microwave operation is pretty straight forward and needless to say the "GE Profile Model JVM1790WK" with is 1.7 cubic feet of cooking space and 1000 watts of cooking power excels at this task. The ubiquitous Popcorn button (a must in my house) is the first button on the top row left. Push it and the unit automatically adjusts its time to turn out the best bag of popcorn.
Timed cooking is accomplished by the push of a button and a rotary dial to input the cook time. Push the "Reheat Plate" button and the "GE Profile Model JVM1790WK" utilizing the units auto-sense technology automatically adjusts the time and power to reheat the food evenly. The feature works and works well.
Convection cooking is not so straight forward but it is one of the reasons we purchased the "GE Profile Model JVM1790WK". There are a number of options available for convection cooking and one is well-advised to read through the manual to find the selection that best suits your needs.
I baked my first dish in the "GE Profile Model JVM1790WK" soon after it was installed: homemade cornbread. I pushed the "Convection Bake" button--there is also a Convection Roast--and then dialed in the temperature I needed, in this case 400 degrees. Unlike some reviews I read the oven took less than 30 minutes to warm up; in fact it took a little over 15 minutes, which is on par with my conventional gas oven.
After to required 23 minutes the cornbread was done, well sort of done. The outside was sufficiently golden brown, but the inside middle was not quite done. Something tells me that this convection cooking stuff is going to take some getting used to!
Closing Thoughts
Overall I am very pleased with the "GE Profile Model JVM1790WK Over-the-Range Convection/Microwave Oven." Despite the fact that my first attempt at convection baking did not turn out quite as expected, I will over time learn the ins and outs of convection cooking. The microwave portion of the "GE Profile Model JVM1790WK" works as expected and the unit look fabulous with our kitchen full of other GE appliances.

GE JVM1740DMBB 1.7CF Over-the-Range Microwave 1000W Black Review

GE JVM1740DMBB 1.7CF Over-the-Range Microwave 1000W Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
About 6 months ago, we upgraded from an ancient GE spacemaker - might have been 10 years old. So anything was going to be better. I wanted one that had a revolving turntable to spin the food and I wanted a stronger microwave. This one delivers. But Please - take my advice and don't try all the silly "auto sensor" features. Use manual choices and you can't go wrong. If you are upgrading from a lower watt microwave, be sure to adjust and lower your "usual" cook times. I burned popcorn and Weight Watcher Smart Ones meals at first so I speak from experience. My husband has yet to understand this concept and still burns food!
I have the black color instead of the bisque which I think looks nicer and is relatively easy to keep clean. However, I wish I had stuck with bisque color instead of getting black finish for our stove and dishwasher though because keeping those clean is MUCH MORE DIFFICULT.
I like that there is two optional racks for those holiday family meals when we're heating up multiple large items.

Average Reviews:

I like this microwave. It works well, has good features. My gripe is one of those maddening little design flaws that makes you pound your head on the wall - or wish you could pound the engineers' heads on the wall.
We have ours mounted above the stove, so the light on the bottom of the microwave functions as the stove light. Lights do burn out, so you would design it for quick and easy bulb changes, right? No. 1) This uses some obscure bulbs I haven't seen before - trip to Home Depot! 2) The mounting is by a Phillips screw that is positioned so that if it falls (and it's screwed in upwardly so it will) it can easily fall behind the stove. And did. But that's not all. 3) The bulbs plug in backward to the front of the stove, so you have to feel with your fingers or use a mirror to push the prongs of the bulbs toward you into the holes that you can't see. All this sounds picky and unimportant, and it is, until your bulbs burn out (ours lasted a year), and then it's a completely unnecessary, stupid irritation. What were they thinking?
Again, it's a good microwave. We love it, except for once in a while when we're going to hate it.

Short and Simple.....
Bought a Maytag Model MMV5165BAB over the range 1.6 cu. ft. micro in March of 2009.
It died on 12-26-2010, 20 months and then DEAD MICROWAVE. It sounded like it was working but the turntable stopped turning
and no heating at all. We bought Maytag due to their reputation for long lasting appliances, Well NO MORE!!!.
They are now owned by Whirlpool which we've had before and had numerous breakdowns in both a Washer, Dryer
and Refrigerator, and now they've effectively killed Maytag.
We scored this Microwave, in Black, at a local dealer on an end of year sale, and Not only does it just 'pop in'
to the mounting structure of the old one, it is alot quieter than the Maytag and it heats ALOT quicker than that
old unit! Same size, same 1000 watt power, but seems much more efficient. The underside light that shines on the
top of the range is bright and blows away the Maytag light. So, all said and done, we're extremely happy with this
Samsung! It seems very very well built, it's heating blows away the Maytag, and it's a very good looking unit.
RIP Maytag, you've lost another customer. Buyer Beware!!

Our microwave was delivered and installed on 6/28, it worked for twenty minutes. On 7/3 the repairman came to fix it, he ordered parts. On 7/18 he returned with parts, however, the microwave is still in parts on the kitchen floor, numerous calls to everyone concerned with it (Whirlpool, Lowes, the installers, and an 'authorized' repair facility) and have garnered only apologies. I believe this was an item that needed more research before purchase. So as the title says, beautiful to look at because that's all we can do, and actually since it's in parts on the kitchen floor, it isn't even that.
(ASIDE) The Whirlpool folks were particularly apologetic, it seemed as though they were trained to say, "I'm sorry and there's nothing we can do.", as they managed this in a pleasant, polite, and smarmy manner.

Average Reviews:

If i had not found a glowing review of this product on the web, I would not have purchased this item as I was skeptical the eggspress would work as described. This gadget makes great hard boiled eggs!!!!! The first time i put raw eggs in the unit i did not snap the top on correctly and the eggs started oozing out the sides. Once I snapped the top on correctly the eggs stopped oozing. I also misjudged the time need to cook the hard boiled eggs. All i did is put the unit back together and microwaved the eggs for 90 more seconds and the eggs were cooked perfectly!
During my first test run I figured out how to correctly assemble the eggspress and time needed to fully cook the eggs. the eggs taste great! Some of the eggs are a little rubbery on the top side. The eggpress is a quick and easy way to make hard boiled eggs!!! Not having to peel the shell off of the eggs is a real plus!!!!!!!

My 10 year old over the range Hotpoint microwave suddenly died. I needed a replacement. I came across this Magic Chef unit and couldn't believe the price: A replacement for $150? I ordered the unit and didn't expect that much. What I got is a great working microwave with features I didn't have on my old unit. It has more internal space and with he recessed turntable I can cook and defrost much large food items than before. The fan is extremely effective although it's quite noise on full, but so it was on the old unit as well. I have noticed that some of the details like hinges and such seems a little bit more flimsy than on the old unit. We'll see as the years go by and this unit is used several times a day to feed my four kids if it holds up. But the first couple of months has been a great experience, and I can replace this one twice without it costing more than some of the units I saw at the appliance store.

GE Stainless Steel Profile 2.2 Cu. Ft. Microwave Review

GE Stainless Steel Profile 2.2 Cu. Ft. Microwave
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I am very disappointed at the poor reliability of this unit. Ours is less than a year old and has failed--now, when attempting to cook, the unit shuts off before the end of the programmed time. Even though the light comes on and the turntable turns, the unit does not heat food. Like others, I purchased this unit based on the recommendation in Consumer Reports; this recommendation didn't pan out. I tried to schedule warranty service and GE is making us wait a week to schedule and their frustrating telephone system does not provide information on where I can take it for service for faster turnaround (and didn't put me in touch with a live representative).
When the microwave oven worked, it worked fine. We replaced a Sharp unit with this one; though this unit has the advantage of a larger capacity, its controls are less intuitive.
Based on poor reliability and poor service, we're certainly not going to buy another GE microwave. We've had good success with GE refrigerators in the past; this is very disappointing. A quick search on the web now reveals that GE microwave ovens are not reliable--many others appear to have similar problems with the magnetrons.
Perhaps this is one reason why GE is looking to sell its appliance business...

WE've had this oven/microwave for 4 months now and absolutely love it. We got it so that we could have a second oven without doing a major renovation. So far it's worked well as a microwave and great as an oven. I'll assess them seperatly.
--AS a microwave, it's a little slower cooking than others we have had, but heats evenly, has a turntable, and rack. We really love the dial control...kind of like an ipod, simple and efficient.
--As an 2nd oven it is perfect for us and we actually use it frequently as the primary oven because 1) It heats up faster and cooks faster 2) It is more energy efficient with a smaller space to heat adn 3) it vents outside so it doesn't heat up the house in the summer at all.
As for the price, it is expensive, but was a much cheaper way to get a second oven for us and we are very happy with it.

Sharp 950-Watt 1-2/5-Cubic-Foot Over-the-Range Microwaves Review

I bought this on Amazon to replace a Sharp microwave, which has served me well for several years. Based on the price, compared to other with similar features, this unit is the least expensive. I was also impressed with the comprehensive directions for installation. I am closer to being Tim (the toolman) Taylor than a professional at home improvements, so I followed the instructions with precision. The results were outstanding. Not only does it look GREAT where my old stove hood used to be, it passed my "popcorn" test, of which, I am particular. No scotching, full bag, satisfying and an extra plus, while I am beaming over my accomplishment, the beep sounds indicating the popcorn was finished, the display read "Enjoy". Am I ever! I have in my "digital locker",courtesy of Amazon, my own .pdf manual. What a great investment in money for the microwave and the time for installation of the unit.
Solidly built, looks great, came with lightbulbs for range light INSTALLED! No cons, but could have used some help with installing, as the manual recommends 2 people install, but I did manage nicely by myself. I would suggest an additional set of hands for final insertion, once preparations are complete. I have only owned this for a day, but, I wanted to tell my tale to give others an incentive, if they are on the edge, to jump at this opprotunity to snazz up the kitchen in a big way and for little out of pocket.
Panasonic wants like $300 for a comparable unit. I am pleased to pay 1/2 as much and get a quality unit such as this. You can even get this for $25 off before January 31st, free shipping (this dude is HEAVY!) and no tax, do the math, it is a steal!

This is our 3rd version of this same unit (1st one sold w. house...second burned out after 11 years of continuous use! This newest of this Sharp line is very good looking, beautiful Stainless throughout & larger (inside) then previous units...it has really simplified convection & mix cooking with help of it's internal computer. This is great for all of your cooking, especially cooking for 2, we never use the regular oven except for a large turkey (this unit will hold a 10# bird.) There was a problem with one of the large bolts that holds it on the back plate..did not line up correctly...that was a pain. Also shipping by UPS or FED EX ends up with a mutilated box & I'm sure damaged units (we lucked out no damage to unit- the unit is quite heavy 84# so I'm sure the carrier just "heaves" it - so if your box is badly damaged don't even open it - send it back for a new one) they should really be shipped using another source.

Nordic Ware Microwave Omelet Pan Review

Nordic Ware Microwave Omelet Pan
Average Reviews:

The Nordic Ware Microwave Omelet Pan is quite a nifty little kitchen gadget. Before purchasing, I had said to myself, "Making an omelet in the microwave? Impossible." I got this pan and was proven wrong. To my surprise, the omelets made in this pan come out rather tasty. I was also pleased that the eggs come right out of the pan and don't stick at all. However, as others have said, you must use some kind of cooking spray, oil or butter for a completely non-sticking surface when removing the egg from the pan. It's easy to clean. No stuck-on, hard to remove egg whatsoever.
I remember reading one or maybe a few reviews that said their pan didn't come with instructions. Mine did. I followed them and the resulting omelet was not the best. It came out a bit hard. It was edible and not bad but not particularly the best omelet. The instructions are rather standard and goes as follows:
- 2-4 eggs
- 2 tablespoons of milk or water
- Beat in a small bowl
- Pour the mixture in the omelet pan evenly on both sides
- Cook for 2 minutes
- Stir from outside in
- Place the toppings on each half and cook for another 1.5 minutes
- Remove from the microwave
- Fold the pan to make the omelet
What the instructions do not take into account is the wattage of the microwave you're using or that times may vary depending on the amount of eggs you use.
My findings based on the use of 2 eggs, which I think is more than enough(for me anyway), is that hand or electrically mixed eggs took 1.15 to 1.30 minutes to be completely cooked or when the eggs started to bubble up and it looked like they would bubble over and the wet egg was consumed. Any longer or following the above directions provided by Nordic Ware resulted in the hard or rubbery eggs that I described earlier. However, using the times I indicated resulted in a soft, fluffy, fully cooked omelet which was more to my liking. Another important note is that I'm using a 1250W microwave. Perhaps the factory directions would be more suitable if you have a lower wattage microwave or are using more than 2 eggs.
I mostly make cheese omelets. I like to place the cheese on after I take the omelet out of the microwave because from experience when I did it as instructed, the cheese came out watery.
Pan fried, stove-made omelets taste better in my opinion but this pan still does a good job and in a fraction of the time.
I also use the omelet pan for making eggs to put in my breakfast sandwiches. I just beat one egg and pour it on one side of the pan. Cool gadget for quick eggs in the morning.
