Microhood not over range but...

18 years ago

it's right near by the range with a more robust chimney that *is* over the range.

Is this weird? I decided this when I was pregnant but now that baby brain has calmed down, I am wondering what I was thinking.

Here is a picture that I found that is not mine, but with a similar config and the glass cab breaking up the 'line'.

Their undercounter MW is not a microhood I think. Mine falls a little below the bottom edge of the other cabinets. Oh, and the fridge is immediately to the left of MW with a bit of trim in between.

If it's not too weird, my husband will be grateful. Otherwise, I would make him redo the cabs in that section! LOL

The placement seems very functional and logical. Post photos to get better and more informed opinions......

I've thought of doing this. You get a built in microwave & and undercab light for cheap. And you don't have to worry about having an odd-sized & expensive hole in the wall to fill if your 'built in' micro goes belly up.

We are actually doing that. I bought a microhood last year, in anticipation of having it over a range. Long story short: we ditched the microhood over the range idea, and instead, are hooking it up under cabinets on our coffee bar/serving bar area.

I think it will be just fine. It would be even better if the door opened the other way. Why do they all open the same? Grrrr. Oh well. I will just have to get over it. ;^)

A small micro and built in trim kit should cost quite a bit less than a micro-hood, your cab company should be able to provide a box with cab doors on top and an open shelf below. Be sure to have an outlet placed in back-- the microhoods have to wired in, but the 'regular' micros use a plug.
