What is the best over the range Microwave? If you had to buy one, what would you get? Mine needs repair and I am thinking of replacing the whole thing. Its already 12 years old, and its nasty on the inside. BTW, Combo52 was right, Over the range units are awful in the long run. My previous Condo had a vent hood and a micro on the counter. The whole setup was a lot more convenient. And there was no nasty water condensation and dripping while boiling water. Yes use the fan on my micro, but also hate how loud it is. The hood was quieter.

I agree, would probably go with a regular hood if you otherwise have space for a microwave. CLICK HERE TO GO TO fan-of-fans's LINK |

are about the same quality. 800 to 1,100 watts, no more powerful. Made in China now by LG or Samsung. LG makes them for GE. 300 to 400 cfm or so. some are three speed, some 4. Some have one work light bulb, some two, some Led. |

How about a GE Advantium. Cook and brown probably could do a lot of cooking with this. CLICK HERE TO GO TO 48bencix's LINK
