The KitchenAid Architect® II KHHC2090S microwave oven is a top-of-the-line over-the-range model that has more features than any other microwave on the market. This attractive model has a stainless steel finish that is sure to be a talking point in any modern kitchen it graces. If the good looks were not enough, this microwave also has a convection feature and a large cooking capacity.

Salient Features

With a whopping two cubic feet of interior capacity, it’s not likely that you’ll be able to find another microwave out there that can outdo the KitchenAid Architect® II KHHC2090S. This model’s convection feature is definitely another plus and goes hand-in-hand with its size. The convection feature essentially lets you turn this unit into a convection oven, microwave, and broiler all in one. You can cook anything from pizza and cornbread to filet mignon and even roasts with the convection feature.

The KitchenAid Architect® II KHHC2090S also has the TruCapture Ventilation System, which is the most efficient ventilation system you will ever find in a microwave/hood combination oven. This is a huge plus for any over-the-range microwave and this feature does not disappoint. While we all like the smell of food cooking, we don’t want the smell to linger in the house and on our clothes for days. Because of this, good ventilation is a must and the KitchenAid Architect® II KHHC2090S has the best one out there. Of course, with a model of this stratum you can expect the regular features found in most microwaves: a turntable, one-touch electronic controls, food-specific defrosting and programmable features. It is also very powerful, packing 1200 watts that are sure to cook your food faster and more evenly than anyother microwave.

Any Downsides?

The downside? Well, mostly the price. The KitchenAid Architect® II KHHC2090S usually comes in at a hefty $1000, which is much more than most folks want to spend on a microwave. Though this model pulls double or even triple duty with its convection capability, $1000 is still a bit much for most folks. However, if you have exquisite taste and a fat wallet to go with it, this may not be a problem for you. AS most folks who are eyeing a stainless steel microwave probably have a similarly-decorated kitchen and can afford it, this may not be a problem.

Another problem that seems to have cropped up is a bit of malfunctioning, which is a problem with some Whirlpool appliances (Whirlpool owns KitchenAid, as well as Amana). As long as you have some sort of warranty (the manufacturer’s or the retailer’s) you should be fine, however. To be fair, there are more positive reviews for the KitchenAid Architect® II KHHC2090S than negative ones.

The Bottom Line

In the end, if you are in the market for an attractive stainless steel over-the-range microwave, the KitchenAid Architect® II KHHC2090S may be the right microwave for you. Though it is definitely going to cost you, this microwave has all the features you could ever want and makes a great addition to any kitchen that prominently features a stainless steel motif.
