Kitchenaid KHHC2090SSS 2.0 cu. ft. Capacity 1,200 Watts True Convection Oven Architect Series II

 (6 customer reviews)

We bought this oven in December 2009 and have used it for about a year.

Pros:
+ It is visually appealing and dresses up any kitchen
+ The internal lighting is very good and the over the range lighting is excellent
+ The exhaust fan rivals a jet engine -- in both airflow and noise. It will move some serious air, but when it's on high normal conversation in the vicinity of the oven is difficult. Lower speeds are much better, venting well at a reasonable sound level. I have it mounted above a gas oven/range, so in the summer it easily vents the excess heat outside on the lowest fan setting

I had a maytag over the range microwave that died after 4 years. I replaced it with the stainless steel kithenaid convection over the range microwave and I am definitely pleased. After reading review after review of other brands I decided to go with this model and I am glad I did. This microwave offers everything and then some. I probably won't use half of the features on here, but in the event I need them I have them! The convection is amazing, it literally cuts my cook time in half with out overcooking my food. Kitchenaid is reputable for producing quality products and I already own thier restaurant quality mixer. This microwave is highly recommended and the price I paid for it on Amazon blew the competitor's prices out of the water.

We purchased the microwave directly from kitchenaid. The microwave worked a total of 5 minutes. Kitchenaid sent a subcontractor technician that said he can't look at the microwave because it is a built in and it requires two technicians to take it out. Now we have to wait two weeks for the two technicians (first availability) to come and look at a new product that doesn't work. Kitchenaid used to be high quality product. Unfortunately that is no longer the case.
