Overview
The Kenmore 2287063 is a 1.7 cu ft over-the-range microwave with 1000 watts of power and a 300 CFM, two-speed, three-way vent fan built in. It suits kitchens replacing an existing OTR unit that want simple preset controls along with real range ventilation.
Reviewers who installed it to replace a broken-handle predecessor describe setup as quick and the controls as free of unnecessary complexity, which is not always true of newer microwave interfaces. The one design element several call out is the child lock, which adds an extra button press before you can enter a cook time, something that gets old if you use the microwave several times a day.
- 1.7 cu ft interior with 12.4 inch turntable
- 1000 watt heating power
- 300 CFM two-speed, three-way venting
- Interior LED plus cooktop light
Who it's for
Suits anyone replacing an existing over-the-range microwave who wants straightforward preset controls, solid heating power and real range ventilation in one unit. Less suited to buyers who specifically dislike extra safety-lock steps, since the child lock adds a button press before cooking.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Buyers consistently praise the straightforward controls, reliable heating and effective venting, and several specifically like the clear display and preset options. One recurring complaint: the child lock requires an extra button press before you can enter cook time, which some found annoying for daily use.
