The KitchenAid® YKMCS122SPS countertop microwave is designed for home cooks who want power, precision and a premium built‑in look without sacrificing everyday convenience. With a generous 1.6 Cu. Ft. capacity, it easily accommodates everything from family‑size leftovers to a 2.25‑quart casserole dish, while its compact footprint and approximately 21 3/4‑inch width make it a natural fit on most countertops or within a standard cabinet opening when paired with an optional trim kit. What truly sets this model apart is its combination of high 1200‑watt cooking power and advanced Sensor Functions that automatically adjust time and power levels as your food cooks or reheats, taking the guesswork out of everything from vegetables and pasta to last night’s takeout. Instead of constantly stopping to check doneness, you can rely on the microwave to monitor steam and temperature and fine‑tune the cycle for you, delivering more consistent results than many basic models. The integrated Auto Functions further simplify daily tasks with dedicated presets for popular items like popcorn, potatoes, reheating plates, cooking frozen entrées, and even softening or melting ingredients such as butter and chocolate, so you can move smoothly from snack time to baking prep with just a few taps. For busy kitchens, the PrintShield™ stainless finish is another standout feature, helping this microwave stay looking clean and polished by resisting fingerprints and smudges; most everyday marks wipe away with just a soft cloth and water, reducing the need for harsh cleaners. Inside, a Steam Clean function uses the power of steam to loosen cooked‑on splatters, so you can simply wipe the interior instead of scrubbing. Touch‑activated controls with a clear LED display, Express/Quick Start options for adding time in convenient increments, and a dishwasher‑safe turntable round out a user‑friendly design that feels both modern and durable. Whether you leave it freestanding or combine it with a matching trim kit for a seamless built‑in appearance above a wall oven, the KitchenAid® YKMCS122SPS delivers a refined balance of style, performance and smart features that help it stand out from typical countertop microwaves in its class.
