When it comes to microwaves, consumers have a few options to choose from; over-the-range, countertop, and built-in. Today we will discuss the over the range microwaves, which has been one of the most popular, as it incorporates the use of the microwave and ventilation in one.
Before looking for a microwave, inspect your kitchen's design; you'll need to find one that fits into the design of your kitchen. While searching for an over the range microwave there are a few factors to consider: the capacity, functionality, price and performance.
There are also some over the range microwaves that will have the added benefit of convection baking.
Top Three Over the Range Microwaves to Consider:
The GE-PVM9179SKSS
GE kitchen appliances are a great selection, as they are well built, perform well and last for years.
This Profile's 1.7 cubic foot interior fits most large dishes or casseroles. Inside, the turntable can be shut off so very large dishes won't hit the sides of the oven. The microwave is 1000 watts, which is what you would want in your new microwave oven. This microwave oven also has the sensor system that helps with the timing of the cooking. Last but not least, the biggest feature is convection cooking; basically giving you a second oven. The built-in ventilation in this microwave has an auto-start feature, as well as three manually-selectable speeds, plus a dual-brightness light.
The GE Profile PVM9179SKSS is highly popular with most customers, as it has two oven types in one and is greatly priced for the combination.
The LG-LMVM2033SW
LG makes a wide range of appliances you can select from to make the perfect kitchen. One may opt for a LG LMVM2033SW, as it has a large capacity at 2.0 with 1000 watts of power. This unit also has the SmoothTouch controls that are located on the front of the glass door at the bottom. The ventilation that is built into the unit is a power punch of 400cfm, which can be made to be recirculating or vent outside. The interior of the unit has EasyClean which allows for simple cleaning in no time.
The microwave will not include an element of convection that the previous microwave we have discussed.
The Samsung-ME21K7010DS
Samsung has been one of the other front runners as a popular brand in the kitchen with style and functions.
This microwave has a capacity of 2.1 which is one of the larger sizes out there. This model also consists of 1000 watts, and 1500 watts when using the unique PowerGrill that gives you the ability to grill meats as you would outside. The controls are glass on the bottom of the door, similar to LG microwaves. The interior is coated with a ceramic enamel for easy clean up and it helps to prevent scratches. The Samsung ME21K7010DS also has LED lights that make everything brighter and easier to see. The ventilation on this unit is 400 cfn with 4 settings.
