The HMD8454UC is Bosch’s 24 inch drawer microwave: a 1.2 cubic foot cavity at 1,500 watts, opening as a motorised drawer under the counter with Home Connect. The drawer mechanism is what makes it and what limits it – there is no turntable, so food is cooked by a stirrer above the cavity instead, and the drawer runs on rails driven by a motor. Almost every model-specific fault on a drawer microwave is in that mechanism rather than in the cooking side.
