Your review was just what I was looking for. I just ordered one and I'm currently waiting for the delivery. Our old mocrowave died and this model seemed to fit the bill. Yours is the first review I've seen from a non corporate type. Excellent review. Very informative. Thanks
We just got this exact one! Installing it right now…love the template for easy installation, however I’m just watching my husband so it’s easy for me 😂 while he’s installing I’m watching your video and it really put me at ease, reading the manual didn’t help me that much. We got ours at Best Buy… they price match which is nice .. loved your video, I’m excited to use it. I’ve never had an air-fryer, my oven has a convection setting and I’ve never used it! This will be a whole new adventure for me. Thank you. I was so happy to find you. 😊
Appreciate your review, good job. We have the same unit and the recommendation in the the manual is set oven temp 25 degrees cooler than package temp. My theory is that the convection is constantly recirculating the air and there is no need to compensate for heat loss. Speaking of heat loss, another terrific feature is the oven doesn't heat the whole house. You can bake and actually touch the front of the oven, it's not hot. Still trying to learn how to use the air fryer and cook things that are not covered by the preset menu buttons. BTW white is now an option too. Thanks again.
It’s definitely a great microwave. Starting to use the scan option that sends the info directjy from your phone to the microwave to set it up. Super easy to use!
Just ordered mine today for our BRAND NEW KITCHEN!!! The wife only uses the stove and oven to cook I only use the air fryer and microwave, so she got a $20,000 kitchen and I got a $600 microwave.... Even trade in my book! Looking forward to getting this. Only thing that it seems I won't like is that stupid one push start where you go to type 2:15 and as soon as you hit 2 it starts!!! But just something I will have to get use to I guess because the rest of it seems great
I do have a question. With the opening on the side, does your hand hit the cabinet to open the microwave? sorry if this seems silly but I can not find a view of the handle/opening
@angiebutcher4068 No. it sticks out far enough that opening it from the side is unobstructed. I was worried about it too since our previous microwave had a door handle, but I love this design a lot more now.
Same situation, just replacing the stock one that came with the house when we built, and picked up this exact model. We have not used the convection side yet, but it sounds like its doing a good job for you. Would be interested if you did a follow up after a few months to talk about any quarks or gotchas that you may have learned about. Also, why didn't you suggest using the App to scan? Perhaps I missed it.
Mine the top filter is very loose. I was wondering if the filter supposed to be flat or in an angle. When the wind is blowing outside the filter is moving and creates a scratching noise. Thank you.
The product description on Home Depot's website list the vent as "convertible" what does that mean? This doesn't have the Extendahood 2.0 from what I can tell.
@@david.delaney love it. No issues and definitely the best microwave we’ve owned. They need to make it so you can adjust the Air Fryer more and it would be 10/10. I’ll rate it 8.5/10 for now
I just sold my condo and I'm moving and I have to buy a microwave /convection. My current one has metal racks like my full size oven. I use cake pans, 9x13pans on a rack, you did not mention racks, how can you convection bake if no racks?
I literally showed you the rack that it comes with. It comes with a portable rack and pan for the convection oven portion. Maybe watch the video again?

THANK YOU for showing the button operation. One touch start is a must for me. So many reviewers never do that.

@@jbc4963 Great microwave! We love ours!

I hope you consider doing a one year review. I’m very interested in your feedback!
Just got mine installed today. Thanks for the quick-and-dirty lesson. Loving it already

Yeah, you will quickly get used to pressing the Cook Time button unless you just need a quick 1 minute, 2 minute, etc
Thank You. Great review We’re looking into this after our Samsung died. I love the idea of an air fryer and convection oven

6 months later... how would you still rate this? everything working properly? any issues you've seen?
@@david.delaney love it. No issues and definitely the best microwave we’ve owned. They need to make it so you can adjust the Air Fryer more and it would be 10/10. I’ll rate it 8.5/10 for now
So one month in, how do you like it? Have you been using all the oven style features? Has it reduced your use of your main oven for smaller items?
Love it! I have t used my regular oven to make anything since we got it
Will this work fine without using the app? This is going into my mom's house and she only has a flip phone. Thanks.
Are you to remove the glass and plastic wheels during convection and airfry???
@@benvondra no. Leave that in when using air fryer or convection oven
Does the convection feature make the food nice & crispy, or not so much?
Yes, just like if you used your oven
I dont even need a new microwave but now I do.
Does it have a toaster setting my countertop one does
@@Airreealistic-Transitions no toaster, just Microwave, Convection Oven, and Air Fryer settings
what if you put the metal pan in and accidentally press the microwave option. Will in blow up?
Probably not gonna test that theory
@@EastCoastJeepSRT Lol I had the same question
Nice review. How well does it softwn butter without hit spots
Haven’t tried it yet.
i push cook time. set time press start and it does nothing. It is brand new, just out of the box
Really? Let me ask you this. Close the door and just press the number one. Does it start cooking for 1 minute?
I just sold my condo and I'm moving and I have to buy a microwave /convection. My current one has metal racks like my full size oven. I use cake pans, 9x13pans on a rack, you did not mention racks, how can you convection bake if no racks?

Where do I find the notes?
Notes?
Why can’t you see the screen
? You can see the screen so I’m not sure what you even mean?
Looks to close to stove top
Same distance as any other microwave so no idea what you think you’re seeing
