Kenmore 63292 / 63299 1200 Watts Microwave Oven

Pros: Great toast, silencing option, looks nice
Cons: Too big for my kitchen but may be right for yours.

What do you do when you've earned a $1200 bonus? You start replacing your ancient kitchen appliances, if you're me. First off, I apologize for perhaps not being complete. I'm not doing reviews for the money or the compliments, I just want to share my ...

Pros: shiny, beautiful--gives the illusion of being magnificent!
Cons: plain and simple--doesn't work... always near the holidays too!

i bought this unit on March of 06 and was so excited. has to wait awhile because of the almost 200 dollar price tag, but was finally able to purchase it! it was so beautiful! and the fact that it had a toaster attached was perfect! but then a week ...

Pros: lots of space in microwave, good quick-use features (eg. add 1-min), looks great
Cons: toaster is loud (haven't found a silencing option) and slow, overheats, and stopped working.

We bought this microwave to save space because we needed a toaster and microwave and didn't want the toaster sitting on the counter. The microwave is great -- works fast, cooks evenly, has nice options for lower power, and is really easy to just add a minute (or two or three) but doesn't over-guess about what I want to do. I love the round interior, easier to clean than the square kind, and seems very roomy.

As for the toaster, it's very loud (several people mentioned a silencing option, which we haven't found), seems to overheat after 1-3 runs, toasts unevenly (more on the top, less on the bottom), and takes a very long time. Still, overall it has done the job for us for about 4 months. But, just recently something seemed to "blow" in it (seemed like a crumb caught fire or something) and now the toaster doesn't work at all. I'm hoping it's just a matter of replacing a fuse or heating coil or something, but so far I haven't found any info. So for now, we are stuck with a great microwave with this clunky, useless space hog on the side...

Pros: It is a great unit, and we love it
Cons: It stopped working after 8 months

We have had the Kenmore Toast'N'Wave for about 8 months and just absolutely love it. It is so handy having the toaster built right in the microwave. This morning I put in a Bagel and pressed start and the unit just went dead, like someone had pulled the plug. I tried it in a different outlet, but nothing. I was wondering if there is a fuse or breaker or something that could make it easy to fix. Like I stated before, we have had this for only about 8 months, and we don't have any children that would misuse the unit, if you could let me know if there is a fuse or something, it would be greatly appreciated.
