Over the range microwaves/hoods

Do you have one?
What brand is it?
What do you like about it or not like about it?

We have one, and the thing is freaking huge (1.8 cu. ft.). It died back in December so we're finally ready to get a new one. Ours is an Amana (bought by the previous homeowners) and while it's only 5 years old I'm really not sold on this particular brand if it's going to just die again.

We have an LG. I really like it, but I can't think of any of the specifics at the moment.

I'd never heard of LG making microwaves before, so we were a little hesitant, but it was a floor model, and that made it the cheapest stainless one by a bunch. I'm very happy with it.

Oddest thing about it: the glass plate goes back & forth instead of around & around.

That is weird, Sheila :lol:

Ours is a GE, I think :scratch: It came with the house :lol: I like it pretty well; it's my first experience with an over the range microwave. It doesn't do anything too fancy, but it works :aok:

We have a Kenmore and love it, although we had nothing to do with picking it out. :) I like that you can turn the rotator off if you have a dish that is too large for it to work, and the only thing I don't like is the fan vents (or whatever they are) on the top are angled up instead of down which means all the little crevices get FILTHY.

Oddest thing about it: the glass plate goes back & forth instead of around & around. Mine does this too. When I first got it, I would just stare at it because I thought it was so weird :lol:

I have a Maytag and it works great. The only thing I don't like is that the vent is to loud. And it has a rack inside it (which is removable) and I don't see the point of the rack.

If I were to do it over, I would have spend the extra money and gotten the one that also was a convection/toaster oven because it would have saved on counterspace.

[gulp!]

We have a GE Spacesaver, and I like it a lot. It's 7 years old now, and we've never had a problem with it.

We're upgrading to stainless and getting the LG one (only b/c the fridge will be LG as well- otherwise, I'd get another Spacesaver). Now I know I'm going to be standing in front of it, staring at the glass. :giggle:
