Overview
A 24 inch, 1100-watt microwave built to work as a standalone countertop unit or drop into an existing built-in trim kit, with 2.0 cubic feet of capacity and sensor cook presets for nine common foods. It includes three weight-based defrost programs.
One reviewer's newer unit came in with a smaller overall footprint that didn't match a previous trim kit exactly, so measure your existing cutout rather than assuming a drop-in fit across all trim generations.
- 1100 watts, 2.0 cu ft capacity
- Sensor Cook with 9 food presets
- 3 weight-based defrost programs
- Standalone or built-in installation
Who it's for
Fits owners replacing an aging Dacor or DCS built-in microwave who want to reuse the existing trim kit and cutout. Also works as a standalone countertop unit for anyone who wants sensor cooking and weight-based defrost without a fancier interface.
Pros and cons
- One buyer's unit had a smaller footprint that didn't match an older trim kit exactly
- Warranty registration issues reported when purchased through some third-party sellers
- Auto door lock during cooking catches out owners who skip the manual
Performance notes
Sensor Cook reads moisture and steam to set time and power automatically across nine preset food types, while the three defrost programs work by weight for meat and poultry rather than a flat time guess. The door locks automatically once a cooking cycle starts and stays locked until you press Unlock Door, a child-safety feature that can be bypassed through the Setup menu if unwanted.
