Benefits of over-the-range microwaves are that they provide ventilation for your range (stove) and also saves on counter space. They are often times matched with an appliance to get a consistent look for the kitchen. Capacities may reach up to 2 cubic feet. Especially good for householders who want a stove hood and microwave combo. The intermediate size is 17-inches high, 30-inches wide, 15.5-inches deep.

Following are three good models to look at:

Sharp Carousel R- 1880LS Over-the-Range Convection Microwave.

The R-1880LS is a convection microwave designed for over-the-range mounting. and combines the best features in convection and microwave cooking. This unit comes with a bright hood light and two removable exhaust fan vents. The built-in exhaust scheme may be setup to vent from a vertical or horizontal access point and may be set for ductless re-circulating using a charcoal filter.

Styled in finelooking stainless steel and black, this unit features a sleek touchpad control panel with a wide range of cooking and feed preparation options. The Sharp’s galore choices and sophisticated styling make it an splendid choice for those who want more than basic microwave functionality.

The LG Electronics Over the Range Convection Microwave LMVH1750ST is packed with smart technology. With it is multitude of choices you might suppose the LG Over-the-Range Convection Microwave to be overly complicated, but it isn’t.

GE — You’re going downhill
By RobRen
12 1/2 months into owning this microwave (which by the way I loved), I was cleaning it with a wet paper towel when pieces of the white interior started coming off of the top. I’ve never seen this happen before. Called their customer service and was told that it’s actually paint and they would be happy to sell me some paint so I could paint the inside of the microwave myself. Wow, that’s great customer service. I’m not sure what upset me more, telling me to buy the paint or telling me to paint it myself. Microwave lasted another 9 months before the magnetron blew (it looked like a nuclear bomb went off inside of the microwave…really scared us). I was assured that they would fix it but it would cost me upwards of $119 for labor, etc. Obviously I’m not getting it fixed. My last GE microwave lasted me around 15 years. I wasn’t expecting this one to last as long (they don’t make things to last anymore) but I certainly expected a lot more than 2 years.

Love this little powerhouse
By mv_shark
Love this little microwave. We redid our kitchen entirely more than 2 years ago and it was tempting to upgrade to bigger this and better that. However, somehow I resisted a larger microwave and I’m so glad. This is the perfect little powerhouse for us. Easily fits a dinner plate, even a medium mixing bowl (marshmallows puff up a lot when you prepare rice crispie treats!), not to mention all the obvious small stuff — leftovers, coffee, frozen meals, popcorn, etc.

I should mention it’s also super-easy to use. Express cook so press one button to cook on high for 1-6 minutes; good “default” buttons for foods like reheat, popcorn and defrost (by weight or time); and a kitchen timer I find invaluble for all my cooking.

I’m about to buy another one for a family member so found the negative reviews. So here I am to add at least one vote of confidence ..we have NOT had any problem with the paint, lights, covers, etc. It runs perfectly and looks great.

GE Spacemaker II
By Jamesbarone
Microwave fits the spot and has worked well. Just hopped online to order another one because I was afraid to use it since the paint was peeling off the top. Read another review and see this person had the same issues. Im sure theres more people experiencing this, but it looks terrible and Im just questioning what effect it has on the foord, waves, etc. Now looking for one the same size.
