I've been wanting an over-the-range micro for ages. This micro is beautiful and high powered. I love all the features from turning on/off the turntable to the color of the time. The hood I replaced was noisy and the lightbulbs burnt out and broke so I couldn't remove them. I was only too happy when my microwave stopped working. I raised my cabinets, wired the hood circuitry to an outlet and installed the microwave with some muscle from my husband. I'm so pleased with the outcome.
