Maytag Over-The-Range Microwave With Convection Mode - 1.9 Cu. Ft.

We purchased this to replace a 20y.o. GE. I will say it is very nice looking but there the positives end. I cook all the time and certainly know my way around the kitchen. This microwave will cook bacon/frozen pizza/reheat an item - anything/everything - in a 3” center circle only. The 3” center of an item is overcooked/perfectly cooked or charred (you never know what you will get) and the outer area is still frozen/cold. Making a cup of tea/cooking in any microwave approved Pyrex/glass etc renders the item so hot it is untouchable without burning your hands/or reaching for the oven mitt and even when you get it out of the microwave with the mitts you can’t touch the cookware b/c it’s so hot. I contacted Maytag several times. 1st tech that came out said I needed to put food on plate/in cookware run for 25% of recommended cooking time, stop microwave, turn product 90^ and cook for another 25% of cooking time, then stop unit, turn another 90^ and cook another 25% etc...until I had completely rotated the 4 outer quadrants of the food item through the center?! What the heck? Are you serious? Am I on candid camera/being punked? I called Maytag again, they sent out a different guy and he said I needed a dedicated electric line b/c it shared a line with the cooktop - so $200 Electrician bill and a new line later - still the same problem. My mom was helping me out and made an Omaha Pot Roast (Followed the microwave instructions perfectly) and the center of the pot roast was charred/couldn’t be eaten/salvaged...the outer area was fine so 5 people attempted to share 1/3-1/2 of a pot roast meant for 6. She didn’t know about the 25% cook/turn thing - who would? She felt just awful - was only trying to help...house smelled for 2 days like charred pot roast and we are told by Maytag “it’s cooking as intended”... can’t tell you how much I absolutely regret this purchase, I have asked Maytag for another of the same thing b/c I believe this unit is defective...they said it’s working as intended so they can’t help us. I just wish they would make it right and switch it out. Whirlpool/Maytag/Kitchen Aid is all the same company - so I will replace it with a GE - too bad b/c it’s really a good looking unit.

Loud Humming and no longer works. It says 10 year warranty but you know how those work out

I've had a few convection microwaves and love them - this model was priced well, carried the "Maytag" name. Attractive and functional. Installed it and it worked probably twice. Died a non-functional death (no power) after about 3 uses. Can't return it, had to schedule a repair. Took about a week to get someone out. Cavity Thermostat dead. Will take another 6 days to get the part and install it. I'd love to more - but I need a reliable appliance. Based on reviews, my failure is unusual, but with a 3-week time to repair, Maytag should have shipped me a new one.

I have had this approx. one month and knew I wouldn't really love it when I purchased it online. I loved my eight year old, broken down, discontinued, and could no longer get parts for Whirlpool microwave that I had paid over $1,200 for. I knew nothing would compare. Whirlpool and Maytag worked diligently for a couple weeks trying help me in finding one as close to my old microwave as possible. I was heartbroken and finally settled for one, knowing it could never compare to my old one. It was delivered and installed by Maytag. Boy was I SURPRISED!! I love my new Maytag microwave, there is nothing I can't do with this one! Many thanks to both Whirlpool and Maytag for all their help. I will buy nothing but your appliances. It's always been Whirlpool in the past but I found out Maytag is also GREAT!! AWESOME.

We have had the microwave for about a month and we have had great success with baking zucchini cake and a dark chocolate cake. It also worked well at reheating pizza. I like the quiet four fan speeds and it seems to exhaust cooking stem and odors well. We needed to use the microwave/convection because our new main oven was inoperable due to shipping damages. As far as the microwave function, it heats up our tea and coffee water fine.
