When we renovated the kitchen, we replaced the over the range fan with a microwave/fan unit. Am SO glad we did it, as we have more room on the counter. The unit we purchased is a simple GE, to match the GE stove & GE dishwasher. I've been very happy with the microwave & stove - both are great. Will not buy the same dishwasher again, though -- my daughter has an LG and its fantastic. But we love our microwave. I am short, 5'2", and it's fine for me. We installed the entire kitchen, including the appliances, and it wasn't the easiest installation (as we had to make our own piping to direct the air out the roof top duct), but we did a good job and it will pass inspections when we sell the house in a few years when we retire. I won't ever go back to a counter model -- I like uncluttered counters!
