Maytag MMV5208WS 2.0 cu. ft. 1100 Watt Combination Range Hood Microwave - Stainless Steel

The Maytag MMV5208WS is a fantastic over the range microwave. We've had it for three weeks now, and absolutely love it! We replaced an older countertop microwave that was decent, but took up too much counter space, and frequently tripped the fuse (requiring a trip to the basement). This Maytag was easy to install (replacing a standard range hood). It has not yet, even one time, tripped the electric fuse to our kitchen - so that problem is solved. Plus, it has freed up a tremendous amount of counter space. It's like having a brand new kitchen!

The microwave itself works fantastic. It has setting for just about everything you can imagine. It can sense the food in the microwave to determine the best cooking time and settings. The baked potatoes turn out perfect...as does the popcorn. The turntable doesn't turn at all, but kind of moves around the bottom of the cooking space - novel, but it works, preventing hot spots from burning any particular point of the food...Read more

We replaced a previous maytag over-the range microwave with this one. After a month of using it we think it is easily the worst one we have owned over the last 25 years. It has slightly less power--1100 watts compared to 1150 watts in the last one. It cooks MUCH slower. Heating a slice of cooked, frozen bacon took 10 sec in the old one and 30 seconds in this one. The fan is very loud covering up conversation unless you go to a different room. It does look nice but if you are buying a microwave to heat/cook I would not recommend this appliance.

microwave worked great for a year, lucky i bought the 1yr extended warranty. after having the parts replaced twice the warranty ran out. even though they replaced the part under warranty the same part broke and i was left holding the bag.
