AMV6167BDS - 1.7 cu. ft. Microwave Range Hood Combination

Amana Convection Microwave

This is probably the best combination of features you can expect in any microwave.

It is a over the range model, so you save the counter space with this unit. It will not sit on the counter but on top of your cooking range. The next is that it is a convection microwave so you get both the features.

The 1.7 cu ft. capacity is large enough for family cooking, though the 950W power may be on the lower end for some special dishes you may want to cook. But what you lose in power can be adjusted by longer cooking times and given how quickly the microwaves cook, it could probably mean just about five to ten additional minutes.

The unit comes with scrolling prompt display to guide you through various settings, a digital clock with timer feature. Among the presets you have options for popcorn, beverage, potato, pizza, fresh vegetables and frozen dinner. That should cover most of the things that you would like heated or cooked quickly.

It also has the Sensor cooking technology for adapting the cooking power levels and time to the extent of cooking. It comes with one sensor for cooking and three for reheating options.

The vent comes with its own great features like five speed fan. You can adjust the speed as per the fumes in the kitchen, so that you do not start a din unnecessarily.

The 300CFM exhaust is great to clear the kitchen of the smoke, fumes and odor quickly. The charcoal odor filter will get rid of the lingering odor that tends to remain in all kitchen. The Wire mesh ensures that the grease and others are prevented from entering the vent and damaging it.

The convection oven has its own features for baking and grilling needs. The best part of the combination function is that the microwave can bake the cake quickly, while the grill will brown the cake perfectly.

So you not only bake cakes faster, but you also get the same great crispy exterior. The same holds true for meat too, you can get the perfectly cooked meat with juicy interior and crispy exterior.

The entire unit is made from stainless steel for perfect finish and great looks. At that same time, the stainless steel makes wiping out of splashed food simple.

Just a simple moist cloth is good to get rid of most stains, it done in time. Otherwise with a good soap you should get back the unit to its original class.

In all, the Amana convection microwave is a perfect mix of great functions and user friendly features. It does not occupy the counter space leaving it wider and cleaner and at the same time with the great vent functions keeps your kitchen odor free and fumes free.
