A:AnswerJust installed it yesterday, and yes, it was a bit of a shock. I knew the dimensions, but seeing it actually up was a bit worrisome. We have room for a standard over the range microwave, BUT the grates on my beloved 15 yr old Kitchenaid range are crazy high. A regular microwave sat down too low, but this one opened up so much more room that the almost 3 inches really isn’t noticed! It also covers more of the range top surface, so the lighting is better, and the fan actually draws the heat from the front burners, which the old ones never did (it was nice cooking dinner tonight). We’ve gone through 5 microwaves because of the heat issues (3 had handles that cracked or broke, two had control panels burn out). If this is replacing a vent hood, I could see that it might be a slight issue, but for where we placed ours, it’s not.
A:AnswerYes you can use it. I don't have a vent either and this just goes back into the kitchen. It works just fine. I have the electric stove underneath it and all is well.
A:AnswerBest Buy typically charges $139.99 for installation. This microwave comes with a mounting plate and is very easy to install. I would save the money and do it yourself. There are only two screws on top and about 3-4 that go to the wall. Everything is provided in the box.
A:AnswerHi Lauren, 24” (61 cm) is typical for 60” (152.4 cm) installation height. Exact dimensions may vary depending on type of range/cooktop below. Thank you for your inquiry regarding our Whirlpool appliances!
A:Answermother, thanks for the inquiry. This microwave came out early this year. You will need to check with your local dealer for availability. Hopefully this information is beneficial to you. Thank you for your inquiry regarding our Whirlpool appliances!
A:AnswerThey have a paper template that came with the machine that shows you where to drill a hole or how it will fit in the spot. We had a larger MW before and were very thankful we saved some tiles so we could fill in the space left vacant. Please note if you fill that sMW with a smaller MW there will be exposed space. We got around 6 more inches of space. We used our plain tile ( and not the decorated borders) so it won't bring any attention to the area. I do love this MW as it gives me more space to work at the stove.
A:AnswerIt is pretty heavy. It seemed heavier than other microwaves, but it is about average for over the range. It is about 57 pounds. The manufacturer recommends the cabinet above should be strong enough to support 100 pounds, minimum.
