Looks good, that's it. Microwave made it 13 months and stopped heating. With 1 yr. warr. Whirlpool basically said tough $#!". I repaired it myself with a $55 diode and they still wouldn't even consider reembursing me for part cost. You spend $500 for an appliance should last more than 1 yr. Last Whirlpool product for us.Whirlpool: GMH6185XV 1.8 cu. ft.

We bought this model in January of 2009. Since that time it has been broken and unusable for approximately 4 months. The first time around it took four visits including a special trip by the regional repair manager to figure out the "wave guide" was faulty. This lead to a free replacement unit. They hauled the old one away to investigate the problem further. Shortly after this we found out our warranty was sold to another group - Bankers Warranty Group. Looking back, I wonder if this was done intentionally - knowing the huge problems this unit would have. The new unit worked for about a year before it had the problem with the unit powering off then on. It took 4 visits over two months for them to fix that issue. The unit worked for 4 months before showing the F7 error message. This means the Magnetron and Inverter must be replaced. This took 3 more visits. After replacing both parts the microwave still didn't work. They said another circuit board was blown but they had one locally that they could replace it with. They left the microwave in pieces to grab the part. After installing the new part they powered it up again to test it. The same part blew. They used a fiber-optic goose-neck tool to look into the wave guide. The same problem as the first unit. There is a little metal post that protrudes into the wave guide. Eventually the microwave radiation arcs off of this post causing the unit to fail. We have another 2 1/2 years under our extended warranty which is great and all except the wave guide is considered part of the cabinet which is not covered under the warranty. So at this point - Bankers Warranty Group will not pay to repair or replace our unit. We have a $900 kitchen timer hanging in our kitchen. I called Whirlpool to explain my frustration. This was met with the typical lack of care or empathy. They said it is outside of the manufacturers warranty so they can do nothing. I have researched lemon laws to see if it applies. Unless the same part malfunctions 4 times it is not covered. I can't afford to pay for a cabinet two more times. I am so mad I am screaming. Avoid this unit at all costs. When it was working it was the best microwave we ever had. But it is not worth $900 if it only lasts two years intermittently riddled with repairs. I wish I could get enough people together to file a class action lawsuit to force Whirlpool to refund our money. Shame on you Whirlpool!!!

Whirlpool : WMH3205XVB 2.0 cu. ft. Over the Range Microwave - Black Review

Whirlpool : WMH3205XVB 2.0 cu. ft. Over the Range Microwave - Black

(More customer reviews)
We were asked to pick out appliances for our new home. I picked this one for three basic reasons. It was the same brand as the stove and fridge I picked out, was black, and went over the stove. I had no other criteria. Microwaves in the past, for us, have never been used for much more than reheating leftovers, microwave pancakes for our son in the morning and maybe a bag of popcorn every now and then.
Had I consciously decided to research more functionality in a microwave, this would have been it!! I cannot believe how awesome this microwave is.
Functions I've used:
* The "Dinner Plate" function is a thing to be awed. Load up a plate of leftovers, pop it in and hit ONE button (Dinner Plate). The microwave's internal sensor automatically adjusts the cook time to ensure the food is heated evenly throughout. WORD OF CAUTION: Do NOT stop the cycle to check the progress, then cancel and hit "Dinner plate" button again. For some reason it will get way too hot!
* The "Soften / Melt" function has been used numerous times already. You're able to select to soften different products (butter/ice cream/cream cheese). I've used it for both butter and ice cream. The butter selection truly softens your butter without having half soft and half melted. The ice cream selection is another thing that awed me. Our freezer was set too high, so our ice cream was like a rock. Put it in the microwave, selected the "Soften/Melt" button, hit "1" for soften, then "2" for ice cream, then key in the number of ounces. The consistency of the ice cream was perfect!!
* We just used the "Steam / Simmer" function last night to steam fresh asparagus for dinner. Again, we were thrilled with the outcome. We put 2 large bunches of fresh asparagus in a glass baking dish, drizzled with olive oil and seasoned with lemon juice, salt and pepper. Hit the "Steam" selection and steamed for about 10 minutes. Again, AMAZING!!
We've only been in our house just under two months and have already gotten so much enjoyment out of this microwave. I give it the highest recommendation and cannot wait to further investigate the other functions this oven has to offer.

This is our fourth Electrolux Microwave. We updated from the previous model with the opening button on side. We went thru four of them because the plastic broke (crumbled) on each unit. We were hoping Electrolux was concerned enough with their product to correct this issue with the EI30SM55JS30. We have had this unit approximately three months and the plastic is once again beginning to break. DO NOT PURCHASE AN ELECTROLUX PRODUCT. We were trying to keep a matched set with our range because our kitchen remodel was designed around these products. WE GIVE UP AND WILL PURCHASE ANOTHER BRAND.

KitchenAid KHMS2040WSS 2.0 cu. ft. Over the Range Microwave - Stainless Steel Review

Average Reviews:

What really upsets me is that our new Kitchenaid Microwave KHMS2040WSS-0 only lasted 2 months before the magnetron blew up. The previous reviewer's lasted 6 months. Three times as long!
Boy am I sorry I didn't read his review before I bought my own piece of crap. Beautiful on the outside but blew up in my face.
Our previous microwave, a run-of-the mill GE, was still working after 19 years. But nooooo, I had to have a pretty one.
Kitchenaid's Warranty is a huge scam. This lovely piece of do-do has been sitting on my family room floor for the last month. The repair tech showed up, and could not take it off the wall to test it, look inside it, etc. My husband had to help him pull it off the wall and there it sits. The tech, from Domenco, had no parts with him and lots of excuses why it was necessary to perform service calls without repair parts. No amount of phone calls to Kitchenaid or the repair company has motivated them to take any action. Kitchenaid warranty department says they have no proof that a tech ever looked at it. The fact that they SCHEDULED THE APPOINTMENT IN THE FIRST PLACE WITH THEIR PREFERRED SERVICE VENDOR "is not proof." "Ma'am," they say, "We have no proof that a technician ever verified that your microwave is not working." Not only does their microwave not work, neither does the Kitchenaid warranty process. Perhaps that's on purpose. MY word and MY payment on MY credit card means zip, zero. I must be a moron. Why in the world would anyone lie about this? You have to wait a week to get the repair appointment, then the guy shows up 6 hours late, can't fix it and then falls off the face of the earth. You can't make up stories like this.
So now I have a new $550 piece-of-crap coffe table...and an 18 year old functioning microwave in a landfill somewhere.

Well it took a while to get installed some confusion about the clearance in the instructions about being 10 inches from the back wall but someone with more experiance and presenter of bill for install and we are home free .This unit so far is beautifull and working like a champ.We had to rehang the top cabinet to accomadate the size so do your homework on the clearances and dimensions which i didn't do when i ordered but professional installation was in order and i love the looks.

I bought this for my new kitchen renovation. I was getting rid of the huge vent above the stove and wanted a nice place for a microwave that would vent. You can use it to vent up and out, or it can recycle the air and let it flow back in the room. I'm using it for the latter. The fan is very loud, I find, but not so bad that I wouldn't use it. The microwave is nice and has a lot of nice features on it like quick start (also known as Add 30 Seconds). I would recommend it. You probably won't find a better one for a price like this.

Perfect for freeing up counter space, this over-the-range microwave oven supplies 1000 watts of power and a sophisticated look that will nicely compliment any kitchen decor. Its spacious 1-3/5-cubic-foot interior contains a round 12-2/3-inch turntable that helps heat food evenly, plus a bi-level cooking rack for cooking more food at the same time. The unit features 10 power levels, auto and rapid defrost, auto reheat, add 30 seconds, and more/less control, as well as hold warm for keeping food warm until it's ready to serve and a low-wattage melt/soften setting for making hard butter soft or for melting chocolate without boiling or scorching. In addition, the microwave oven comes equipped with a two-speed 300-CFM (cubic foot per minute) exhaust system with a hidden vent for reduced smoke and food odors caused by cooking. Other highlights include simple touchpad controls, an LED display, a clock and kitchen timer, a cooking-complete reminder, a child safety lock, an incandescent cooktop light, and a night light--great for those late-night snacks. A recirculating carbon-coated charcoal filter comes included. The over-the-range microwave oven measures 15-5/8 by 29-15/16 by 16-7/16 inches and carries a one-year parts-and-labor warranty with a 10-year limited warranty on the magnetron.

The incessant beeping is enough to make you want to put your own head inside the microwave. Next to that, when you select a defrost time, it literally stops every 30 seconds to tell you to turn it over. and wont start ubnless you open and close the door then push start again I HATE THIS THING. Good thing it LOOKS NICE because the features, the beeping, and the UI is absolutely UNNERVING. I am writing this as some steaks are defrosting in it and the constant stops and beeping has just finally gotten me to the point where I had to come here and whine about it.

LG OTR 2.0 CF 1100-Watt Microwave, SS Review

LG OTR 2.0 CF 1100-Watt Microwave, SS
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Our Jenn Air Over the Range microwave was recently diagnosed with a bad Magnetron and a repair cost of almost $500. So, we decided to see what else was out there and found this one based on several Consumer Reports and Online reviews.
The microwave installation was a snap and I was able to do most of it by myself.
The microwave itself performs well above expectations with more even and faster cooking times than my old crappy Jenn Air. All of this for less than the price or repairing my old microwave. On top of that, this one comes with a 10-YEAR WARRANTY on the Magnetron. I didn't see that anywhere else.
I highly recommend this LG model for anyone looking at mid-priced Over-The-Range microwaves based on performance, value and the warranty.
