DCS Appliance 24-Inch Convection Microwave Oven CMO-24-SS

Date Published: 11/8/06

While many microwave ovens look out of place and flimsy in a commercially influenced kitchen, the DCS Appliances CMO-24-SS has a solid build and features to match.

Commercially styled cooking equipment can transform a boring kitchen into an amazing one, but most families still need a microwave oven to keep up with busy schedules. The DCS Appliance CMO-24-SS fills this need while staying true to the look of even the most elegant kitchen designs.

In fact, we wouldn't be surprised if this versatile top-performing model becomes the most used appliance in your kitchen. It's not only a microwave oven with 10 outstanding, easy-to-use sensor settings, but also a combination oven, thanks to the addition of convection. Convection gives you the added benefit of an extra oven -- perfect for small batches of baked goods or broiling a few burgers. The CMO-24-SS also provides the outstanding combinations of low-mix bake and high-mix roast -- two settings that mix microwave energy and convection together. The results of these combinations are fast, outstandingly baked breads and cakes. Even roasts and turkeys are all prepared perfectly browned and beautiful.

Designed for freestanding as well as built-in installations, this product is most likely to be built-in. DCS offers particularly solid and impressive-looking trim kits for this purpose. At more than $200 a piece, these kits are expensive, but well worth the extra money. These kits allow this 24-inch microwave oven to be installed seamlessly in conjunction with either a 27- or 30-inch wall oven while maintaining a heavy-duty professional look.

If you're splurging on the ultimate kitchen, don't neglect to purchase a high-performance microwave oven like the outstanding convection CMO-24-SS from DCS Appliance. It can make all the difference in today's busy world.


Pros: Good value for excellent convection/microwave performance, trim kit provides solid professional-style look
Cons: Expensive trim kit
