Kenmore Microwave Reviews

I bought my Kenmore microwave with pizza drawer over 10 years ago. I use the pizza drawer almost daily since it doesn't need to be preheated and I live in Florida where keeping the heat out of the house is important. I would love to buy another one but it doesn't seem to be available anywhere. Kenmore, please bring it back!

I purchased over $8000 in product (all Kenmore Elite) from Sears in 2019 along with the 5 yr warranty. The Kenmore Elite microwave stopped working and I have been trying for 3 weeks to get ahold of someone to fix it. The 1st person never showed and now all they need to do is cancel it so a new appointment can be made but no one knows how. I am extremely disgusted at this point and will never buy anything from Sears. By the way I have made 63 phone calls so far. Shame on you.

The Kenmore microwave that I inherited with my house and was less than 10 years old broke. I replaced it with the exact model and the new one broke within 3 years. After replacing several parts myself and the fuse still blowing every time the microwave was used I called customer service. I was told that to have a tech come out to repair it would cost $249.00 plus labor. The microwave itself was only slightly more expensive. I also have a Kenmore fridge (that I also inherited with the house) that has broken twice within the 7 years that I've owned it. I will never again buy Kenmore products or anything through sears. The products are unreliable and Sears customer service is awful. What a frustrating experience.

Our Kenmore Elite Microwave we use everyday. We have been using it for years and love all the features. In fact, we have all Kenmore appliances in our kitchen. We use it for cooking popcorn, baked potatoes, frozen and fresh vegetables, warming food and defrosting. And the occasional microwave meal or instant oatmeal product types.

The Kenmore countertop microwaves we have perform as superb as larger models. A quick coffee warmer or an 8 minute roast thaw provide excellent service. This small model Kenmore is no exception, though it’s at the top of my pick of small microwaves. Where it excels for me is at defrosting. I give the Kenmore an Excellent rating. Our new Kenmore is very quiet and speed of heating earns a Great rating. Heating evenness gives it a Great level rating also. I have not tried our Kenmore microwave with Alexa. We don't use Alexa much. In the basics category Kenmore earned an Excellent rating for predicted reliability as well as owner satisfaction. You will enjoy all Kenmore microwave products.

I have a built-in Kenmore microwave (not my choice). I just don't like it when compared to my older Whirlpool or Panasonic microwaves. It lacks the conveniences the others had and doesn't seem like it works as good as them. One thing that gets on my nerve is the weird sound it makes when it is done.

I have a Kenmore Over The Range microwave. It is a great microwave. It cooks well, and easy to clean. My favorite feature is the minute plus. If you need to add time to the cooking time simply press the number one button for each minute you need to add. This feature enables adding time easy and convenient. The thing I dislike the most is the amount of time before the end timer signal goes off the second time. It sounds when done then again in less than a minute. This is particularly annoying to me. I wholeheartedly would recommend this microwave.

We continue to use our 1986 countertop Kenmore Microwave (model 87627) several times a week. Still works perfectly, display and keypad never had a glitch. Even the original light bulb works. My point? We have had much newer Sears Elite appliances that have not lasted as long, or the display/control panels burn out, refrigerator diffusers stop working, light switches fail, some push buttons stop working, etc. They don't make them like they used to.

Purchased the Kenmore pro microwave oven. Beautiful looking appliance for my new kitchen. I loved the features along with the over the stove lighting. It was the first microwave I owned that had useful lighting. I never had any problems with it. Then it happened--one year and 7 days later it stopped working. Out of warranty, out of luck.

I have consistently had good luck when purchasing Kenmore products, and the microwave is no exception. I got it at a reduced price on a Black Friday, and it has consistently performed well with accurate "doneness" based on recommended settings. It is easy to clean and is 9 years old... so it was a good choice.
