DS is off from school this week and has come down with dreaded man-cold. He whined for some hot chocolate, so I popped a mug in the microwave and returned to a room filled with billowing smoke. I know I have gotten my money's worth from the microwave- it's 6 months older than my son who is old enough to drink. Legally.
But damn, I did not want to add this shit to my to-do list.
Any recs for an over the range mircrowave/hood? My mom's been through 3 in the last 4 years and they are crap.
We had a Frigidaire at our last house that was really great. If we had been going for an over the range model in this house, I would have gotten a Frigidaire.
I ended buying a Sears model for about $350 the day before Thanksgiving. It was on sale and had the convenction bake feature my old one had. Not sure of the manufacturer. I was anxious about pulling the trigger with Black Friday looming but didn't want to deal with the mall, so I ordered it. As expected, it was part of a Black Friday Sale- for $50 more than I paid. Waiting to here from the contractor about installation.
Since then, DH has managed to break the Zero Water Pitcher and jammed garbage disposal. He needs to not touch shit.
The handyman guy is here to install the microwave. He and his minion look like something from Duck Dynasty. Lot's of huffing and puffing and exclamations about "never seeing something like this" from the kitchen. They're trying to figure it out.

Ugh.
That was kind of how my contractor's guys were with my hood (minus the DD looks-lol). They were so sure that all hoods were the same and it was NBD. Even though I had left the book open to the specs from my cooktop, they hung it at the wrong height. They did something else wrong and it failed, so finally they sent my AC guy.......which is what I had wanted from the start.
All of that was really annoying at the time, but a year later all that matters is that it works great. I actually don't really even think about the annoying stuff until I read/answer a post like this.
