Do you find it convenient or is it in the way of the stove? The light/vent above my stove is over 30 years old and needs to be replaced. I have no experience with a microwave over the stove and wanted some opinions.

My sister has her microwave about the stove. No problem.

No, I don't have that set up. I prefer not having that.

Do you have a reason for not wanting that setup?

Do you have a reason for not wanting that setup? Because you cannot install a range hood and a microwave. Not having a range hood can cause problems for gas ranges too. While over the range microwaves do have a vent, they are not all powerful enough for a gas range. So that's something to keep in mind if you have gas. I use my range more than a microwave. I can't imagine how much steam from frying or boiling stuff that would hit the underneath of the microwave while using the range top. It's just something I would not consider buying.

My daughter has that setup and Drifter is correct...the hood constantly catches grease from the burners, I know because I've cleaned it many times. I have a builtin oven and microwave and it maybe that I'm just used to it but I like the oven at eye level...My cooktop is the counter top type with a big ventahood/light over it.

Thanks for the opinions. I think I will just buy another hood with a light and vent. I like the microwave on the counter. Just thought I was missing out on something good.

Nope, I have a hood vent over the stove. I don't think I;d want a nuker over the stove even if it does have a vent. What I would like though would be a 6 burner gas stove with a griddle and a multilevel broiler and dual ovens. Course I;d need a bigger kitchen.

old timer here, no hood and no nuker, just the thought of nuking my food is a huge turn off to me. My life has NEVER been so busy that I need to nuke.

Shucks I just love the smell of napalm in the morning! Talk about instant cookin’ The industry sure has made a killing from all the nukers out there...wonder how all my parents generation ever made it? No nukers in their lives.
