Is the low-profile design worth it over a standard over-the-range microwave?

If clearance above your range matters, yes. At 10-5/16 inches tall it sits lower than most OTR microwaves, but you give up interior height: only 7 inches.

What are the dimensions and cutout requirements?

It is 29-7/8 inches wide, 18-1/2 inches deep and 10-5/16 inches tall, sized for a standard 30-inch opening. Plan on a 120 V outlet and either a ducted or recirculating vent setup.

Does it vent outside or recirculate?

Both. It can be installed with exterior venting or set to recirculate, so it works in kitchens without a duct.

The listing shows 1 W, which is clearly a data error; over-the-range microwaves in this class are typically around 1,000 W. Confirm the cooking wattage with the store before buying.

When is the price lowest?

The best new price is $659 at Home Depot as of November 4, 2026. Appliance prices usually dip during holiday sales and major appliance events, so compare across the 4 stores then.

About the KitchenAid 1.1 Cu. ft Over The Range Microwave

This is a 30-inch over-the-range microwave with a low-profile body: 10-5/16 inches tall, so it leaves more open space above the cooktop than a standard OTR unit. It has a 1.1 cu. ft. cavity, sensor cooking, keep warm, soften/melt and reheat modes, and a glass touch control panel. It vents either recirculating or to the exterior, and comes in fingerprint-resistant stainless or black stainless. The best new price is $659 at Home Depot as of November 4, 2026, with 4 stores selling it new.

3.8 / 598 ratings

Owner ratings average 3.8 out of 5 from 98 ratings, which is decent but not strong for this class. Buyers tend to like the low-profile look and the sensor modes; complaints center on the short cavity and the touch controls.

Pros

Fingerprint-resistant finish stays clean

Cons

Interior is too short for taller containers
Touch panel can be fussy to operate
Some units arrive with venting or install problems
