30-Inch 4-Element Induction Slide-In Convection Range with Air Fry

Manufacturer reviews · owners of this model, published on the manufacturer’s site

• I just started using mine. Love the induction cooktop but don’t like where they put the controls for the oven. If you are a messy cook like me things get spilled on it. Because it is recessed in the stainless panel it is hard to clean. I also don’t like how hot the front of this panel gets when the oven is on. I do love the way it looks ! I haven’t been able to use all the functions of the oven. I’m not a big cooker so I mainly purchased it to get rid of my dirty gas range when I decided to renovate the kitchen. Love the way the new cook top looks with the new countertop. I already had a Kitchen Aid dishwasher and wanted everything to match.

• I have always preferred a gas range for cooking, as my kitchen in electric, and the older electric range sucked, I had a chance to try this KicthenAid induction range, and wow!! I am impressed. I love the flat glass top. with the controls built in(I think the controls are really great and easy to use once you have figured them out). Stainless Steel is so great, It is easy to use and clean. Induction cooking is really precise, I know exactly what settings to use for Salute, frying and pancakes, that I rarely overcook or burn anything, it is almost like cooking on gas. So fast to heat up too.... I have never seen water boil in a pot so quick, the boost function on the burners, so easy to get a pot up to temperature. The Air Fry Mode in the oven is amazing.it really gives a perfect crispy finish. The Steam Bake option works great. I have never tried that before with my baking, the results have been perfect every time. The only con I have so far, is if you put anything on the glass top over the controls(easy to do, as I sometimes use the stove top for extra counter space), it starts beeping at you, but I am fine with that. I really do recommend this KitchenAid Convection Range. It has exceeded all my expectations. I have been telling everyone how great this range is.

• This Kitchenaid range is a very well built piece of appliance. My wife loves the speed of the induction cooktop and range. We replaced all of our kitchen appliances with Kitchenaid, including the dish washer. My wife has been a chef for the past 20 years and she rate these appliances as some of the best she’s cooked on. The air fryer is an amazing feature on the range. The dishes are super clean and it is amongst the quiet dishwasher we’ve ever used. Calling in to register the items was fast and a breeze. Five stars and two thumbs up for these appliances.

• I recently got my hands on a KitchenAid Convection Range and I have to say, I'm loving it! First of all, It is easy to use and clean. Stainless Steel color is so sleek and modern, that it fits perfectly in my kitchen. Air Fry Mode is by far my favorite. It's guilt-free and gives me the perfect crispy crunch I crave. And Dishwasher-Safe basket is a huge plus for me. I don't want to spend extra time cleaning after a meal. Even-Heat True Convection feature is a game-changer. I'm no longer worried about unevenly cooked cakes or cookies. I made my favorite honey cake and it was perfectly baked. But what really surprised me was the Steam Bake option. It adds moisture to my baking, resulting in the perfect crust and moist interior. It's like I'm a professional baker! Overall, I highly recommend the KitchenAid Convection Range. It has exceeded all my expectations.

• I'm having so much fun learning about all this range can do. The air fryer is great. I use it all the time for that crispy texture I love on my foods The stove top has touch screen buttons that are really smart. The elements don't heat up without a pot or pan on top which is a great safety feature. I've had nothing but good luck baking in this oven. I enjoy the look and features of this beautiful KitchenAid range. It looks great in my kitchen and is making cooking easier.

• The short version is that we love everything about this range except that the air fryer is essentially "convection bake in a mesh rack"-- that is, the air fry mode is okay, but doesn't get the same results as a dedicated air fryer. Otherwise, it bakes great, cleans easy, and boils water quicker than any other range we've owned. The long version is that we switched to this from a higher end gas range because our oldest toddler figured out how to turn on the burner knobs. This range moves the controls to the top, which can still be touched by curious fingers, but are more out of the way. In addition, the induction burners will never get hot if there is no pot present. CONTROLS: Easy to use, easy to clean, and the menu is easy to access and scroll through. All of the options are in plain language and not acronyms or number codes. Also allows for options like changing the beep volume, etc. BURNERS: This is the fastest we've ever been able to boil water. It's markedly faster than even our dedicated electric kettle. It's impressive! The controls do allow you to dial in the settings lower as well, so it's pretty easy to set up. It does take a little mental adjustment coming from a gas stove, but it's not bad. OVEN: Works just fine, heats up in a reasonable time. Our breads have baked evenly, or dinners have come out perfectly. The main rack is basically on drawer slides and slides out, which is great for heavy pans. The oven light is bright. The menu also allows for "conversion" of conventional recipes to convection times and seems to work well. The set oven temperature matches our thermometer that we hang off the oven rack for confirmation. AIR FRYING MODE: It's alright. It doesn't get things out as crispy as a dedicated air fryer, but it still does alright. It's basically convection baking in a mesh basket (basket included). LOOKS: Glass surfaces and stainless steel surfaces look sleek and clean easy. Zero complaints. DOWNSIDES: I mentioned that the air fryer is just alright-- the only other thing we've noticed is the clock. Since the controls are on the top, we can no longer rad the time from across the kitchen. This is obviously only a minor annoyance, but something I didn't even think of until after we had this installed.

• The range came in damaged during shipping. Was bought at Orville. They gave me a discount to keep it. The reason that I wanted the induction technology was for boiling water fast. It takes forever to boil even when on boost mode. If I would have known this I never would have spent the money on it.

• I haven't been able to use the range yet as the glass door shattered on installation on July 7, and more than a It took 2 months to get the range after ordering and paying for it. On July 7 it was installed and the glass door shattered. it was supposte to be replaced immediately. One month later I'm still waiting for replacement. I was told it was on back order and may/may not be here in late September. Waiting 2 months for a replacedment glass door is totally unacceptable. I have a home business that include catering workshops, and this means I am loosing money every day i can't use the range. I am disappointed in customer service from Sierra West and KitchenAid.

• I purchased a 30-INCH 4-ELEMENT INDUCTION SLIDE-IN CONVECTION RANGE WITH BAKING DRAWER (Model KSIB900ESS) which does not seem to be for sale any longer in May 2023 (it is now October 2023). This appears to be the closest model to what I purchased. My feedback is that the protective clear coating on the edge of the oven door is peeling off, most likely due to the heat from using the oven. We reported this issue to Kitchen Aid and we were told this is a cosmetic issue and only covered under warranty for 30 days. Regrettably, we now have a stove that functions well mechanically, but looks awful.

• We purchased this stove from the KitchenAid website in November 2023 on their Black Friday sale and have a major issue with it. The back left hand side of the stove has an exposed vent (see pictures) that gets VERY hot when using the oven. If you touch this portion of the vent for more than a split second you get burned. I’m concerned that when I use the self-clean feature of the stove will it get hot enough to ignite flammable material behind the stove! If so, Whirlpool could have a major issue on their hands because we have tried to get them to resolve this problem.

 We contacted KitchenAid several times regarding this issue and they keep telling us this is normal. They have also transferred us to one of their safety representatives who told us the same thing. We and our daughter both own a similar stove with the same features (slide-in, induction, convection) and neither stove has this issue. These stoves are from manufacturers other than Whirlpool. Their vents remain cool and touchable while baking. 
 We finally got KitchenAid to send a repairman to check out the fan because there is no noticeable air movement inside the oven when using the convection and air fry settings. (See photo) We thought poor air circulation might be the cause of the hot vent issue. The repairman did not find anything wrong with the fan, but he did quickly remove his hand from the exterior vent area due to the hot surface when reassembling the stove. Maybe this stove works on a different principal and doesn’t have air movement when the fan is in use?

 If the extremely hot area is normal for this stove, you should consider placing a warning label in the area. We placed the stove in an island which has bar seating near the vent area. This makes the stove a burn hazard for those sitting close to the vent area. We are considering reporting the issue to the Consumer Products Safety Commission. In general, I love induction stovetop cooking. I wish you did not need three separate touches to turn on the stove and a burner with this appliance. I also would rather have one touch to quickly turn down a burner rather than needing two touches. If you set a pan over the control panel by accident, it will beep and eventually turn off the entire stove top which is very annoying, especially if you don’t realize your pots are no longer cooking. A warming burner would be a nice addition. I have a warming burner feature on my stove from another manufacturer and I frequently use it. Except for the extremely hot exterior, the above complaints would not be a deal breaker for me because I wanted a stove that matched our other three KitchenAid appliances. However, based on the fact that the exposed vent is extremely hot when you are baking, we DO NOT recommend purchasing this stove because of the safety hazard. If this stove is faulty, you should consider replacing it with one that works correctly since the repairman you sent can’t seem to fix it.

• The oven is not baking properly. The temperature isn’t calibrated correctly. The service person was out and still doesn’t work right. It doesn’t bake the center of cakes. For a 30min bake time it took 50 mins in the oven. Less then three months old. I’ve been baking for 65 years and I’ve already ruined two cakes in the last month because of this oven. This is a very expensive oven and I would not recommend it. And there is no owners manual to discuss the burners or the oven features. Not online or from the service dealer. What is available as the owners manual there is no instructions whatsoever on any features.

• I bought this to replace my 20 year old KitchenAid Architect Series II range. I'm happy with the new range. I wish I could have gotten in it black, though. It is easy enough to use and fairly intuitive. The documentation is a little sparse and there doesn't seem to be any help online for using its features (for example, I had a question about the LOCK). I'm happy to have an air fryer to try out!

• If you look at their responses to customer reviews, they give the reviewer a case number and write something as if it will help the customer. Don't be fooled by this. If I contact KitchenAid again with the case number, etc., they only bother me by asking for all the information like the first time I reported the problem, and the final answer is the same as the one they gave me when I first suggested it. Just a waste of time and energy After 5 months of using it (I'm not a chef and I use the stovetop for about 15 minutes a day), they take no responsibility for their product and the customer's inconvenience and say that the warranty does not cover it. very bad

• I love it. Still getting used to it. Not quite sure why the front metal gets rather warm to hot when baking.

  Dontonio05/21/2024 05:30 PM

• I love the range. I did think that KitchenAid did not made it easy to find the owners manual on how to actually use the functions on this exact range. The quick start only covered the very basics. So far the missing range rack has not been provided. This does not reflect on the range itself but the customer service handling the claims.

• It’s a joy to cook again! The accurate response time on the induction cook top is fantastic and I love the sturdy oven trays! Just tried the air fryer basket and it did a great job. The larger oven cavity makes it a bit longer than the smaller compartment size of the small appliances. However, it’s a great feature to have.

  JereCKD05/05/2024 08:34 PM

• I have this same model and after only 2 years, 10 months the oven has stopped working. I would not recommend buying this product unless you are planning to move away and leave this ready to fail product to the next occupant. Kitchen Aid, when it was a subsidiary of Hobart. had great products. Now that they are under the umbrella of Whirlpool quality is horrible. Another example, I bought a K45SS stand mixer in 1981 and it lasted 35 years of heavy use. When it finally died, I bout the same model in 2019 and it lasted just 13 months. You can fool me once, maybe twice, but I will never consider or purchase another Kitchen Aid product.

• I have purchased this stove because you all would not provide replacement parts for the stove that I had before. The new stove did not come with an owners manual so I have been trying to. Operated as much as I can figure out I called for an owners manual, but have never received one. I still believe in your product, but I also believe you should be providing me with an owners manual, so that I can fully understand the operation of the stove.

• I bought this stove in September to replace a dual fuel one that I loved. This one is not good. The hob works very well but the oven is terrible. The temperature is inaccurate, it takes ages to heat up and it it NOT self clean. OK you can clean the the bottom with the water clean, but the racks and the rest have to cleaned by hand. A great disappointment. I am in my seventies and getting down on my hands and knees to clean the oven is not easy! I do a lot of cooking and my old convection oven was great. I am replacing this one with another company's model at great expense.

  Merida04/20/2024 07:24 PM

• Induction cooking is the way to cook. Presic temperatures, easy controls, makes the cooktop easy to use and clean. Convection oven with air fry makes baking, roasting, heating, are easy and quick with less time and temperature. Easy clean is a big plus. The only downside was the range arrived with the lower drawer uneven. Being out of level really detracts from an otherwise great range. We are trying to get someone to look at the problem, but no response yet.

  Chas 4004/23/2025 05:58 PM

• Have had this model for 5+ years and there have been never ending issues. Front compartment with oven instrumental panel went first and had to be replaced. Then one of the burners went out and the entire cooktop had to be replaced. Now the cooktop shuts down for no apparent reason. I will not sink anymore money in this lemon and rue the day I replaced my old reliable GE range with this product. And don't waste your time with customer service. They have nothing more to share than "you will need to schedule a service call."

  dmcdmc02/06/2024 10:23 AM

• The oven does not bake evenly. I’ve called the repairman out twice, on the second visit he replaced the sensor and checked the temperature and the right side is 25 to 30 degrees cooler and the repairman said the the variation was writhing the normal range. I disagree, I can see maybe five degrees difference, but no more than that. Everything on the left side seems fine, but on the right side, everything is underbaked. I am requesting a Kitchen Aid Rep to come to our house and rectify this problem.

  Santa Cruz Marty11/27/2024 09:30 AM

• This appliance brings a lovely look to the kitchen. It’s very sleek and I love the lack of actually buttons for operating. I do find the touch screen buttons on the cooking surface to be a bit difficult to operate. I have to make sure to touch it in just the right spot to

  Nurse967404/14/2024 07:31 PM

• On my initial purchase, I was not fully aware of all of the capability features. After I finally had the opportunity to connect it, I discovered the inability to NOT be able to utilize the majority of my cookware, simply due to their nonmagnetic composition! As it turns out, I have enough remaining cookware to prepare anything that I want, and I like many of the safety features (honestly it will take me a lot of time to truly understand most of the operational procedures). if it means anything at all, I investigate everything that I spend my hard earned money on, and what I purchased made it near the top of the list.
