Does this microwave really air fry?

Yes. It has a dedicated air fry mode plus roast and convection modes, so it can crisp and bake, not just reheat. Results depend on batch size in the 1.1 cu. ft. cavity.

How does it compare with a basic over-the-range microwave?

A basic OTR unit only microwaves. This one adds convection, roast and air fry cooking, sensor cooking and a turntable-free interior, but its cavity is smaller than many plain 1.6 to 1.9 cu. ft. models.

What are the dimensions?

It is 30 inches wide, 17-7/8 inches tall and 12-3/4 inches deep, sized for a standard 30-inch over-the-range opening. The interior measures about 18-1/8 by 9-1/8 by 11 inches.

Can it vent outside or recirculate?

It supports both exterior venting and recirculating installation, so it works whether or not your kitchen has a duct to the outside.

Does it need a turntable?

No. It uses a turntable-free design, which fits rectangular dishes and is easier to clean, but you may need to stir or rotate food for even heating.

Grill power is listed at 1,700 W on a standard 120-volt circuit. Microwave cooking power is lower than that figure.
