Best Over-the-Range Microwaves With Reviews

Looks fantastic! We were looking for a 24 inch wide microwave to go over a new apartment range and this one was the best looking we could find. But it is very slick looking....and we are happy with the purchase. We haven't cooked with it.... but will add more later.

We've only had it installed for a few days, but so far so good. It has a solid feel overall and we like the interior coating (same one we had on our previous microwave). Wish it had a number keypad but we're getting used to using the dial. We use the "add 30 seconds" button multiple times to get to the time we want. The LED display is pretty bright. Wish it was the older style greenish digital display. While the numbers are well lit, from a distance it almost appears blurry because of the glare. Also wish the handle on the microwave was more like the model we bought 5 years ago. It was more rounded and matched our GE Profile Refrigerator. The handle on this one is more squared off on the edge. From the front it appears to match pretty well, though. The touch pad seems to be a lesser quality than the one we had before—plastic over the area seems to press in more and has a slightly more dimpled appearance. The exhaust fan works well. So far the microwave seems to be working well and has comparable power to our older model. Would recommend plugging your microwave into a surge protector as we suspect our other one went out due to a power surge after a brief power outage.

Very classy looking microwave. Actually very large inside. You see nothing but the clock unless you touch the screen. You could have the screen on all the time but I like the way it looks with just the clock lit up. I keep a microfiber cloth handy and wipe off fingerprints so easily. Nice large glass turntable inside. Extremely intuitive to use. It even has a clean steam feature. I would have purchased their matching fridge but they don't have a counter depth one. My girlfriends all hoped to see one because they love what I purchased so far. I love not having a handle to open it. Reminds me of the old days when you pushed a button and it popped open. People love the look of this microwave. My only issue the installers were great but they did not install it level. They came back and fixed it or so I thought. Its definitely off and I hate calling them again.

I recently purchased the GTX22EASK0WW microwave for my kitchen, and I must say, it has exceeded my expectations in every way. This compact and sleek microwave has quickly become an irreplaceable appliance in my daily cooking routine. Here's why I think the GTX22EASK0WW is a fantastic addition to any kitchen: 1. Efficient and Powerful: The GTX22EASK0WW microwave boasts an impressive power output that ensures quick and efficient cooking. It heats up my meals evenly and in no time, saving me valuable minutes during busy mornings or after a long day at work. 2.

I can comfortably fit large dinner plates, casserole dishes, and even taller mugs without any hassle. It's perfect for reheating leftovers or preparing meals for the entire family. 3. Intuitive Controls: The microwave's control panel is user-friendly and straightforward. The buttons are well-labeled, making it easy to select the desired cooking time or power level. The digital display is clear and easy to read, ensuring accurate settings every time. 4. Versatile Cooking Options: The GTX22EASK0WW microwave offers a range of cooking options to suit various needs. From defrosting to popcorn, beverage, and potato presets, it simplifies the cooking process and ensures consistent results. I particularly appreciate the express cook feature for those moments when I need a quick meal on the go. 5. Sturdy Construction: The microwave feels solidly built, and its exterior has a sleek and modern design that complements my kitchen decor. The handle is sturdy and comfortable to grip, and the door opens and closes smoothly without any issues. 6. Easy to Clean: Cleaning the GTX22EASK0WW microwave is a breeze. The interior has a non-stick coating that makes wiping away spills and stains effortless. The turntable is removable, allowing for thorough cleaning, and the exterior only requires a quick wipe with a damp cloth. 7.

It provides peace of mind, especially for families with curious children. I recommend this microwave.

Have had 2 mos. Very similar to the last one I had. I like it a lot, but I am not cooking whole meals, fancy things in it. I have the stainless model. Matches the stove/range/oven I purchased at the same time. The stove/oven works well, however, I HATE the plain, shiny black glass top. Previously, I had a fancier model, and it had a ceramic top with the light gray speckling throughout the black glass top. Cleaned easily, quickly, etc... This one is a pain in neck. Takes forever to get all the spots off, even w/ the recommended and included cerama-brite paste and scrubber. Plus, once you get the spots off, it's smeary and leaves streaks. I make my own glass/surface cleaner for everything: 1/2 rubbing alcohol, 1/2 water, 4 drops dish detergent (Dawn), 4 drops lemongrass essential oil. Spray bottle. This works WONDERS on this glass top, but then, being in the kitchen, when someone comes in to get a snack, or a drink, or whatever, it gets tiny white crumbs on it!!!! ARGGGGG. Now I've started covering the stovetop when not in use, with a taupe bath towel that sort of matches my granite. Would not buy plain black glass again. No brand.

After 18 years, my old GE Spacesaver Microwave died and I needed a replacement that would fit exactly into the limited space I had available. Have always liked GE products and was happy to find this one. I'm only hoping this one lasts even half as long because the quality of most newly-made appliances are not made like those made years ago. The photo online was a little deceiving from a "visual" standpoint, as I wasn't sure if the black front was a shiny finish or a matte finish. Even the person I chatted with online wasn't sure. It should be listed as part of the description. It looks matte online; however, it's a shiny (glossy) finish which is actually what I wanted to go with the other appliances in my kitchen. So far, I'm pleased with the quality and performance. The interior of this model is a little larger than my old one but the glass plate that you microwave on is smaller. I would have preferred it to be a bit larger when placing large containers/dishes on it to microwave. Overall, I'm pleased with the microwave oven and I found it to be reasonably priced.

First and foremost, the installation was a breeze; we simply used the existing GE mounting bracket from a previous GE over-the-range microwave oven that became faulty. However, the instructions includes templates for wall and cabinet drilling as well as all of the necessary hardware. The installation instructions recommends two people for lifting the unit into place. Please read and follow all of the included instructions for a proper and safe installation of your new GE Over-The-Range Microwave Oven. After opening it up, I read thru the included instructions. The instructions were very detailed and I was able to easily change the orientation of the blower fan. This was a very important step for our installation as we do not have an exhaust duct. A total of 4screws were removed to access the blower assembly housing and I was able to orient the fan towards the front of the microwave unit. Don't fret, the wire is plenty long enough to easily change the blower assembly's orientation. I had the luxury of having three people present for the install and just make sure you have someone to fish the cord through the hole before mounting into place. The microwave also comes with mounting instructions and template you can tape to the underside of the cabinets and to the wall where the mounting plate is to be installed. All necessary mounting hardware is also included. Install time took us less than 20 minutes, however, we were able to use the previous mounting plate that cam with our Ge microwave oven back in 2012. Read the instructions carefully. On to the JVM6175DKBB review. The GE over-the-range microwave oven, model: JVM6175DKBB performs superbly. Moreover, the microwave cooks very evenly and thoroughly; in addition, it also heats and boild liquids with ease. There are two things about this particular model that I like better than our previous GE microwave. First, the vent fan is noticeably quieter, although, while it's still audible on high and low settings, it's no where near as obtrusively loud as our previous model. Next, I like how this model contains two bulbs for the surface light unit. This makes our cooktop much easier to see. Key features include: .7 cu. ft. Capacity, Weight/Time Defrost, “Add 30 Seconds” Button, Melt Feature, 2-Speed, 300-CFM Venting System and Turntable On/Off. The black finish of the GE model JVM6175DKBB is also superb and matches all of our existing black GE appliances. However, it can attract fingerprints. I recommend wiping the unit with a microfiber cloth and try to avoid using paper towels as the paper towels could cause small surface scratches.

My previous over the range microwave was a massive combination of convection oven and microwave with a bunch of bells and whistles which we hardly ever used. It was about 9 years old and still worked fine. We were refreshing the kitchen appliances and just decided to get a new microwave also. I looked for something that was a basic microwave with good ratings. This one seemed to fit what we wanted. So far, it has functioned without issue. It had slightly less watts than the previous one and it may heat just a little lower, but hardly noticeable unless you are really timing it. It has a nice bright white interior that clean easy. It is a little smaller than our previous monster, but handle what we need. There are a few noticeable functional differences that I debated about lowering the score, but I decided it was more of a preference issue than a complaint so I keep it as a 5 star, and I will get used to it. The first is that the buttons are not sensitive at all, and you need to give them a “push” to work them. The con in this is that if I had to punch very many buttons, my finger would get sore – not really. The pro to this is that you can wipe the button panel clean without turning everything on – as I would with the old unit. The one thing I would change if I could, would be how the timer works. To activate the timer, you push the timer button and enter the time. To start the timer, you need to push the timer button again to start the countdown. To stop the timer, you need to push the timer button again. On my older unit, you would push the timer button, enter the time, and push the Start button. To stop the timer, you push the Cancel button. Just a different way of doing things and I will one day remember this. The one thing I do not like, but my wife does is that the unit has a 30 second add button. Pressing the button normally just starts the microwave cooking for 30 seconds. However, if you have set the timer, it will add 30 seconds to the timer and not cook for 30 seconds. The reason I don’t like it is because I use the timer for other appliances other than the microwave. In doing so I like to throw something in the microwave for a quick heat and – until now – just hit the add 30-minute button. Now I must hit a 1 minute or more button to get the microwave to start cooking. Well, this issue doesn’t warrant a divorce, but I guess I will have to live with her – uh, I mean, the microwave.

I just received this unit today. The package was damaged in multiple places with one portion torn on the side and two dents in the unit. I contacted the manufacturer directly as indicated on the box and was told they could only offer warranty coverage of parts and service repairs - they were not responsible for any shipping damages. I was then told to contact Wayfair for next steps. I have submitted a problem ticket to Wayfair, which is stating the issue will be forwarded to the manufacturer! My concern is if the box is damaged that badly, I can only assume there was rough handling along the way and my concern is with the functioning of the unit itself. I will wait for feedback in the next couple of days as offered by Wayfair to see what resolution looks like. UPDATE: The manufacturer has responded to the inquiry and has agreed to replace the unit through Wayfair. The communication for the return and replacement has been OUTSTANDING and is already in process. I have to change star rating to 5-star as the manufacturer and Wayfair has made good on their ends of things. This gives me more confidence in ordering from Wayfair and from Cosmo.

After seeing this model of Cosmo microwave at my daughter's house I decided to buy one as well. I was very impressed with the design and the functionalities. I bought one (exactly the same model, color, and design as my daughters) two weeks ago. Now that it has been installed it looks great with the kitchen cabinet designs and matches the current existing stove. I am happy with the product. The great features of this Cosmo microwave that impress me are: 1). The 1-9 minutes quick start for express cooking. 2). The smart sensor cooking without having to calculate time and temperature. Only need to find the item and press start 3). Available rack that allows more than one food to be cooked or reheated at one time 4). The LED cooktop lights truly brightens the space between the microwave and the range top 5). The ability to turn the turntable on and off comes handy when using large dishes in the microwave I am impressed with this Cosmo microwave, and I am glad that I bought it.

We purchased this microwave recently because of it's modern appearance and side door opening feature that provides a very clean front appliance appearance. When we received the microwave we were disappointed with the wavy and somewhat cheap looking control center overlay, which appears to be a plastic overlay. The control center overlay is front and center in your line of sight and does not provide a uniform, clean or high quality appearance. Furthermore the two top right corners of the plastic overlay don't quite lie flat within the control center overlay so it exaggerates the appearance of an overlay and lack of finish detail. The plastic overlay also has hairline scratches across the entire display. this is a disappointed detail given the product descriptions for high quality kitchen appliances and attention to detail coupled with a higher price tag. We have only used the microwave for a few days and the functions seem good, of note the microwave runs very quietly and the below unit lighting is very good.

I have to confess that a year ago, when we did our kitchen remodel, I read up on reviews for this microwave and I was scared we were making a mistake in buying this microwave. I found several reviews that "slammed" the microwave for catching on fire, not working, or the handle ripping off. I specifically waited over a year to write this review so I could see for myself and give an honest review of the product. I am pleased to report I have had zero issues with the microwave. The only "complaint" I have with the microwave, is that it is a little hard to pull the door open. I do have to give it a good yank, but no problems. Maybe Murphy's Law will kick in and the handle will rip off now that I have written this review-- lol But I've been very happy with this product, as well as the dishwasher we bought (it's so quiet when it runs, we sometimes accidentally open it and get sprayed with water because we can't even tell it's on), and the cooktop. All have functioned as expected and no issues. I think the majority of happy people don't bother writing a review, and the squeaky wheels will always voice their concerns. It's good to let us all know about the problems, unfortunately they can overshadow the good experiences that don't ever get reported. Hence why I felt compelled to write a review. :) I would definitely recommend all the Bosch products to a friend.

We ordered this for a "kitchenette" in an over the garage guest suite. We had very minimal space and wanted the ability to cook, but not lose all of the cabinet space with appliances. This was the PERFECT solution. Works as a microwave AND as a convection oven. And the coolest side note is that when you start to google convection microwave recipes... they are everywhere! This is a very common appliance in RV's, so there are YouTube videos and recipes all over the place. It was easy to install and looks great!
