SO, we decided to shell out the big bucks to buy this Electrolux. (It matches our new Electrolux range, which we actually love). The problem is that there is no turn table in this unit and the "cook-2-perfection technology" is, in a word, *PITIFUL*! The way it cooks reminds me of the $100 units you give your kids to take to college. Breakfast sandwiches (from the freezer) burn in the center and are still cold on at least one edge. Two hot dogs for one minute wrapped in a paper towel were nearly burnt on one end and just warm on the other. I tried the "sensor cook" for a mini-bag of popcorn and it shut off after about 10 kernels popped! The "sensor cook" settings appear to be trainable so I think I can add more (or less) time, but it's not clear to me from the manual if the microwave remembers those, or if I have to add more time every time I use the...Read more 9 of 10 people found the following review helpful: By flyingwasp (United States) - See all my reviews This review is from: Electrolux : EI30MH55GS 30 Over-the-Range Microwave Oven - Stainless Steel We bought electrolux kitchen appliances despite advice that they were "hit or miss". The look and the features are very alluring, and they seemed to be worth the premium pricing. We also held Electrolux in high esteem due to their Swedish origin and strong reputation in the vacuum business. We hoped for a "hit".
We haven't had the trouble with uneven cooking as reported by others, but perhaps that's because it took some time for the new microwave to work AT ALL. Unit as delivered had a loose connection that eventually gave up altogether. The internal fan stopped working. Took a week or two to get service -- just what you want when you're excited about your new kitchen. Next the mounting screws stripped the captive nut buried deep inside the frame of the unit. Because of incompetent service by the dealer (obviously not Electrolux's fault, but counts in our overall horrible experience with this line of appliances), it took another 3 weeks to get a replacement...Read more This review is from: Electrolux : EI30MH55GS 30 Over-the-Range Microwave Oven - Stainless Steel We bought all Electrolux appliances 2-1/2 years ago. We are unhappy with the performance of the fridge and gas burners, but they do work (just not as well as we think they should). They did replace our icemaker for free, but can't explain why the right front burner can only be set to high or low, there is no in between. Plus the oven cooks unevenly, even on convection. The real issue we have is with the microwave; parts keep breaking off of it. My husband and I are not hard on the unit at all, but last year the top trim piece broke off - the plastic was brittle and just snapped. It cost $125 to replace it. Then a couple weeks ago I closed the door and heard something snap and break inside now the door will not latch shut. We had a repairman out and he said the piece that broke was actually part of the door and held the latch spring. To fix it they only thing they could do was order a whole new door. With parts and labor the cost is $400. Plus the trim piece we already replaced...Read more |
