Microwave (over the range) Oven

[PLRX]

My Frigidaire nuker is gone. Need opinion on the best and which NOT TO BUY.

I nuke everything; thus, I need some quick help, and then I'm ordering one. Meanwhile, I'll eat Dominos.

I've had good luck with a GE one.

GE here.... it's a workhorse with light and vent fan. it's over the range and 12 years old. To replace with same size (the most important option) is like $400

Ok, visiting the GE website for a 30" wide

Don't get one for over the stove. Pretty bad place to put an electronic appliance and the vent does **** all. I ditched the one over my stove and I'll be putting in a proper range hood that vents outside. Countertop nuker is fine.

Whirlpool. I’ve had this one for ten years with no issues.

Over the past 26 years in this house that we got new, we had a few GE. Never again and switch to Samsung for the hell of it and been fine for a few years now

When i went to HD who sells that brand and asked about Samsung the answer was (2X) "they make great TV's"

Damn, there that is a grease trap indeed. Thanks for mentioning the range hood. I had in my mind that the empty space would look like an ass.

Dude, you gave me the best choice!!!

I think the last one we bought was $1,200. Some are more.

Much prefer a real hood over the cooktop with a filter and a good fan with exhaust to the outside.

We've had an Electrolux in our current place for ~7 years with no problems. Same brand in our previous home, don't recall how many years. Also no problems.

Thanks to un..

My GE microwave died suddenly when I shut off power at the breaker; when I flipped the breaker back on, the microwave was dead.

I replaced it with a Whirlpool unit.

I ordered this one:

Once I get all re-arranged, I will buy a hood for the range.

Our Samsung vents to the outside and works great

I had this unit installed in my basement back in 2010 and never turned it on with all the packing materials still inside.
The electrician ran all the lines needed behind the drywall and then it turns out I had purchased the only non commercial microwave that takes 220V.
This thing was like $2400 13 years ago and it actually toasts bread.

What’s wrong with me?

We have a drawer one. Wasn’t sure we’d like it by wife wanted to try it.

It rocks.

With install, $1200 is cheap.

We have a ventahood in the main kitchen. It moves a ton of air and is much quieter.

OP, we’ve had three over the ranges. Jen air unit was trash. Both GE units were fantastic. Note GE is now Chinese.
