I recently purchased the Kenmore Elite 2.0 Microwave for several of its neat features.  Having researched for a reasonably priced large capacity micro for large casserole dishes, ease of use, and the ability to be built-in with the optional trim kit, this oven seemed our best buy.  I also wanted...

This Kenmore Microwave is excellent for the money spent.  We looked at many models before purchasing a replacement microwave.  Our old microwave was from the 80's and still worked, but it took up so much conter space and was hard for the kids to use. 

 This has easy buttons that allow the kids (even my 4 year old) to make popcorn at the touch of a button.  It does not take up half the space as my old one does. 

The rounded inside makes clean up so much easier.  The inside tuning tray easily comes out for cleaning and does not weigh a ton.  The defrost, soften, and melt buttons are easy to...

I had a Kenmore Microwave for 5 years.  It is now garbage. 

In the first year the plastic turntable broke.  It cost $20 to replace.

Recently an additional the same part broke and the plastic started became dirty

I than dropped the glass plate which is my fault but it cost over $40 to replace

I could not get it cleaned.  It started pealing off.  I thought I could replace it so I pealed it off completely. 

Finally I purchased a new microwave from Lowes.

 The motor and everything else is fine.  I will not purchase another Kenmore.  It seemed like planned obsolescence.

The kenmore elite microwave is just the best of microwaves I have ever had in the last 5. For one thing it has buttons on it that I have not had on the others and it really does work well have had this button on the last 2 which is the popcorn button. When used the popcorn wasnt popped well at all. This time popcorn is done all but a least 5 kernels not done when the others was 15 or more kernels not done. With this microwave it is easier to clean inside. It has rounded corners instead of blocked. When cleaning it is very easy and when done you have all food out of the microwave where with the... read full review »

This is the second microwave to quit working in less than three years. Both times the employees at the store acted like this was normal and told us they are "cheaper than what they used to be" and we should have bought the warranty. Nice service, when I went into the store to replace the second one they told me the model number was no longer made and referred me to the more pricey model $328.. no thanks.. I got online and used the personal shopper on the Sears site who said they do make it and that it was in stock at the store that I just left. After I told him I just left and what happened he...

We bought this microwave three years ago with many other Kenmore appliances for our new home.  It was fine up until two days ago when the number 1 through 7 buttons just decided not to work anymore.  Numbers 8, 9 and 0 still work and the microwave still cooks just fine.  I'm sure it will be cheaper to buy a new one than to repair it.  We didn't buy the extended warranty, but to me the point of buying a Kenmore Elite appliance is that I shouldn't need a warranty.  It should last.
