I have a Goldstar and it has worked perfectly for 8 years. We use it
several times a day but I'm always nervous taking out hot dishes
because of the height, it's just asking for trouble, I'm surpised they
are allowed.


I don't understand all the "it's too high" comments. Granted I"m fairly
tall, but my wife isn't, and she loves ours, as does my mom hers.

Before microwaves were common, many folks had those little heating ovens
that went over the range in the same location...

I'm almost wondering if some people mount theres a lot higher than ours is.
Ours is underneath a set of small cabinets. There used to be a standard
range hood there before I put the micro in... It probalby sits 18" or so
above the stove top to the bottom of the micro...

I think I started the "it's too high"
comment, so I will address my original
comment.
For heating a cup of coffee or a single
plate, we could probably deal with the
microwave over the range. However, if
you cook larger things in the microwave,
it is difficult to bring a large bowl or
pot down from that height. That coupled
with
the fact there may be a boiling pot on
the range right below, makes it
difficult if not
somewhat dangerous.
