Reviewing the KitchenAid® KMMF530PPS Microwave
Shop This KitchenAid® Over-the-Range Microwave
There’s a lot to be said about a brand that takes the humble microwave and turns it into a space-saving solution that inspires home cooks to do more during meal prep. The KitchenAid® KMMF530PPS is a prime example of that skill, proving an intelligent design and an eye for detail can make a big impression. When it comes to this KitchenAid® over-the-range microwave hood combo, here’s what stands out.
A Winning Design
Today’s kitchens are all about sleek lines and appliances that work organically with a space—not compete with it. For us, this KitchenAid® built-in microwave oven combo satisfies current trends with an ultra-refined profile that is modern, sophisticated, and designed to complement its surroundings.
For starters, this KitchenAid® over-the-range microwave oven offers true flush installation* that fits parallel to cabinets and cupboards. On top of its cabinet-depth dimensions, this model replaces the traditional handle for a push-door system to accentuate its pared-down look. Additionally, that allows the bottom portion of the front door to double as a control panel with everything available for easy access. The result is a seamless presentation that’s equal parts edgy, contemporary, and refined.
*When installed in a standard cabinet depth of 12 ¾”
Great Features
Freeing up countertop space isn’t the only winning feature of the KitchenAid® KMMF530PPS. In fact, this multi-functional cooking appliance is packed with a diverse range of functions that assist with dinnertime prep from small jobs to main entrées. These top features give users more range than a typical microwave, providing more function on a single footprint, all while using zero countertop real estate.
| Feature | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Air Fry Mode | This KitchenAid® over-the-range microwave with air fryer does the job of a countertop air fryer, except with more room. The feature uses three heating elements for all-around heat that blasts foods to crispy perfection, all while using less oil than traditional deep frying. |
| Convection Baking | Upgrading to a convection oven is a game-changer in the kitchen—but it’s also pricey. This KitchenAid® over-the-range microwave convection oven is an affordable alternative with a temperature range of up to 450°. Whether it’s pastries or roasted poultry, this microwave hood combo with convection baking delivers the performance of a full-size oven with convection using a fraction of the space. |
| 3-Speed Fan | This KitchenAid® over-the-range microwave with exhaust fan with three distinct fan levels provides up to 400 CFMs of ventilation. That’s enough fan power to keep up with gas appliances with up to 40,000 total BTUs of output. |
| Wi-Fi Compatibility | Installing the KitchenAid™ App to a smart device allows users remote programming to start, stop, and adjust cooking modes anywhere with a compatible smart device. |
Other Features We Love:
✔ Steam Clean Mode for chemical-free cleaning.
✔ Grease filters that are easy to remove and economical.
✔ A Bake Mode with dual heat sources for even baking.
✔ A Toast Mode that uses an isolated bottom heating element to toast up large batches of bread and pastries.
✔ A Broil Mode with a dedicated top grill element that replicates grilling.
✔ The exclusive PrintShield™ Finish that resists fingerprints and messes for cleanup that’s done with one swipe.
About the Price
Compared to a countertop microwave, the KitchenAid® KMMF530PPS is a considerable upgrade with prices starting at around $1,100. On the other hand, it provides the function of three appliances: an oven, a microwave, and a range hood. Factoring in individual costs for each, the average buyer will spend $1,500 on an oven, microwave, and range hood (according to Angi.com).
