Kitchen Appliance Help

[pb4uski]

...I never understood the microwave/hood idea. Sling an electronic high-power device that needs cooling air to stay alive, over the hottest greasiest fumes area in the kitchen, and also crunch down on the packaging to make it all fit. Garbage!

Unfortunately, builders have been creating this mess all over the country.

Builders install what people want. We have had two microhoods and have never had a problem with either of them. One we had 7 years before we sold the house (GE as I recall) and the current one is 4 years old.
