Frigidaire - Gallery 1.9 Cu. Ft. Over-The-Range Microwave with Sensor Cooking - Black

Here’s a more personal take: Satisfying and Gratifying! I’ve had the Frigidaire Gallery 1.9 Cu. Ft. Over-The-Range Microwave for a few weeks now, and I’m honestly impressed. From the moment I installed it, the sleek design added a modern touch to my kitchen. But it’s not just about looks—this microwave delivers where it matters most. I’ve used it to reheat leftovers, steam vegetables, and even melt chocolate for baking, and it handles every task flawlessly. The sensor cooking feature feels like magic; I don’t have to guess cooking times anymore. One of the biggest surprises was how quiet it is compared to my old microwave—it doesn’t feel disruptive even during late-night snack runs. The over-the-range venting is also a game-changer. It keeps my kitchen air clear, even when cooking on the stovetop below. Honestly, this microwave has made daily life in the kitchen so much easier and more enjoyable. If you’re considering an upgrade, this is the one to get!

We chose this model for its unique, modern look and attractive design. We love the touch controls on the door, vs the standard/generic-looking controls and big clunky handle on the right side of almost all other microwaves on the market. The "hidden" recessed slot on the side of the door, instead of a traditional door handle, is the icing on the cake. The black stainless finish looks rich and elegant against the dark, tinted glass. There is still plenty of light inside to see what's cooking though. The microwave performs well and has plenty of power to cook anything we throw in it. So far, we have mostly used it to defrost food and reheat leftovers, and for those functions, it has been flawless. The controls are intuitive, thoughtfully-placed, and easy to read, as well as responsive. The LED stovetop light is bright and does a great job of illuminating whatever we're cooking on the stove. The 3-speed fan is very powerful, and if I had to complain about something, it would be that there is not much difference between the high, medium, and slow speeds. This isn't anything I would deduct stars for, however. I've also read other reviews that complain about how bright the clock is but it's not an issue for us, since it is easy to see from across the room. Cleaning the interior couldn't be easier -- whatever that coating is in there, it's magic. I just used a dry paper towel to wipe off 2-day-old spaghetti sauce splatter, with one swipe. No chemicals, no scrubbing, no cussing. Like I said, magic. Installation is pretty standard, and as you would expect for any over-the-range microwave. I made sure to secure the brackets into studs, since this is a fairly stout unit. I strongly recommend two people to lift it up on to the wall brackets. After approximately two months of use, we are very satisfied with this microwave, and absolutely recommend it!

This microwave is everything I wanted. There were very few built-in microwaves that were less than 16 inches in height. This one fits in the space and actually seems to sit back a little more than the previous one. Its roomy, bright, and easy to use. It has a silver frame around the front of the door so it’s not necessary to touch the front of the microwave. That keeps fingerprints to a minimum. The light over the stove is nice and bright, so is the digital clock display. That may bother some but I am okay with it. The inside even seems roomier and brighter than the one it teplaced. (Couldn’t get a snap of it without a reflection. )The second snap shows a 1 3/4 Corningware dish for size info.

We purchased this microwave as we needed one with a "zero clearance door". The microwave is not installed above an oven, but between two cabinet sides that are exactly 30" (see photo). Thus no room for the door to swing open without hitting the cabinet. There are very few manufactures other than Frigidaire who make zero clearance models. We love the look of this unit without the handle as we did not want a mismatch of styles, handles and brands of ovens, refrig, etc. This one is very nice looking, quiet and so far works very well. It was very easy to take down exist and replace with templates provided.

Decided to add a new over the range microwave when i had to replace my range absolitely glad i did the matching look is wonderful and the microwave is so much better then my old noisy one. The underneath lite is really nice and i love the sleek look with no handle
