Okay. Now we understand where you are. You like MW + fan over the stove.
And your question has to do with microwave + convection. I just don't know,
Taria. Our new stove came here in January and I honestly haven't tried the
convection ability. Just haven't had a need for speed. =)
Just a little warning. New microwaves are powerful - as in they can
petrify anything really really fast. I'm pretty good at cooking with a MW
but I never use mine above 8 power. Proceed with caution. Polly

I really wasn't looking for the speed as much as the
extra oven capability. Sorry if I am not so clear.
You know all the worrying that goes into looking
forward to a drs. appointment? I get there today and
find the dr. went home sick and I got cancelled. The
new mixer I have waited 5 weeks for got here and
was the wrong one. It just has been a wacky day.

Stay away from the SM.

*Really*! I'd no idea over-stove ones were coming out that big these days.
Mine's 1.5 cu ft, and I love it to death. (It's a KitchenAid KCMC155J,
circa 2005, for whatever it's worth.....)
Try doing some boneless barbecued ribs on the convection bit. Lovely :)

That sounds incredibly tiny to me. Barely enough space for Polly to
bake a batch of her special "top-shelf brownies". But then we've
never broken down and gotten a nuker...
