heather.elliott Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 Micro quit again, and tired of it....so i need a new one. I am looking for a white over-the-range or microhood to replace it. Any good deals? Any good or bad advice? Tia
AndreaInNC Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 OMG .. why are over the range microwaves so expensive??? I know that Best Buy has some coupons out there right now for Reward Zone members, but when you are looking at something that will run like $150 - 10% off isn't much! I'd start shopping around for floor models or open box specials. My handle broke off about a year ago. Microwave still works - and now the handle has been put back on with duct tape about 3 times now. My kids will not let their friends into my kitchen anymore!
fuzzmanks Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 I did some research a year or two ago. I got discouraged by reading the reviews. There were some models sold by Sears that the reviewers were telling how their over-the-range units had the doors warp from the heat of the stove. Of course they said they mounted them as directed by the owners install guidelines. I was tempted to just put up a metal shelf and sit a "normal" unit on the shelf. But I really wanted a stove steam/exhaust filtering system since I didn't have an easy way to vent outside. But then it would probably turn out to look like a cobbled together setup. So I still have my old unit with it's defective timer. Lots of luck!
AndreaInNC Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 If you are replacing one make sure it was properly installed. Mine wasn't installed to code it is too close to the stove.
