So I knew when we got our Solitude 375-RES-R in early 2021 that I wanted to swap out the OEM microwave with a nice microwave/convection oven because try as they may, camper ovens are serious compromises for the most part and I wanted to minimize propane usage for oven cooking. I did a lot of research and reading user reviews and settled on the KitchenAid model DMHC319ESS - 3 as this unit had numerous excellent reviews and is backed by a prominent brand and I can tell you after using it the convection oven results are fantastic with biscuits, rolls, cookies, brownies, etc. coming out great. Also the interior space and turntable are big and allow for a 12.5 pizza pan which allows for the round pan to spin and get a great even browning on everything mentioned above.
The installation was pretty un-eventful with just needing to drill new top screw hole placements and mounting the back plate to the wall behind the unit. The other big thing about this unit is that it still has a front grab handle for the door and if you have been looking lately at the way microwaves are trending everyone seems to be going to a hidden door grab on the right side and with the way the microwave is placed in the 375 and others up against a cabinet wall you cannot get to that grab handle to open the microwave door.
These units are not on the less expensive side of the spectrum but the best place I have seen for retail sale has been at Costco and at least you get a membership kickback and cash back points on your Visa. It's not a inexpensive item but I will be saving a lot of propane costs down the line. I could go into a lot more things about this unit but will stop here and just say I love it, and more importantly the wife loves it.
