5.0 out of 5 stars Nice Over The Range Microwave by Frigidaire, August 27, 2009

This review is from: Frigidaire GLMV169GS Gallery Series 1.6 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave Oven w/ 1000 Watts (Electronics)

When our counter top microwave of over 13 years finally stopped working, we had to look for a new microwave. First off, we needed to find a BISQUE colored microwave and I wanted to try to match our oven. We have a dual fuel oven that happens to be made by Frigidaire but I was open to any Bisque colored Over The Range (OTR) microwave. While looking online, I was surprised to see very few reviews and even fewer places to get the latest model microwave that places like Frigidaire make.

While the pictured microwave here is white, I have learned that you can get black, white or bisque by asking for the proper model number and having it special ordered. I actually found that Lowes was extremely helpful in this and was able to get my bisque model in only 10 business days from the day they placed the special order. Shipped direct to the store and saved me money on shipping. My cost was reduced further by a matching Home depot coupon of 10% off.

The install was relatively easy. The directions are poor but I located the studs to secure the back bracket with some modifications (I needed to drill another hole to catch the stud). The install I did used the recirculating fan so I did not deal with a vented install. That looked challenging.

As for usage of the microwave, we are very happy with it. The microwave appears more powerful than our previous one. Then again, our previous one was obviously on its last leg. The senor heating for popcorn worked perfectly (to our surprise). There is nothing too fancy as for buttons and options. The optional rack seems like a waste so we leave it out. The power levels work well once you figure it is different from our old Sharp model.

All in all, I have no complaints. For a basic, solid microwave, this will work well. One thing I did learn was that reviews of GE were overall poor. Samsung seemed to be the best but they don't do bisque. Good luck!
