Over-the-range convection microwave air fryer

last year

last modified: last year

Hello! Has any one purchased this microwave combo? I'm currently on the search, and would want to see if an expensive microwave is worth. I'm interested in using all features, but I'm finding that the air fryer does not crisp the food as you expect an air fryer to.

Any recommendations on brands if there is a quality combo microwave like this?

Any valuable experience? I appreciate any feedback!

Forget that. They are terrible vents, terrible microwaves, and terrible ovens. All at an unsafe height to use. Get a good real hood, and do a separate microwave and oven.

What Monique said. It's actually dangerous to have an over the stove microwave.

@Monique: "They are...terrible microwaves"

In CR's tests, as a group over-the-range microwave ovens performed just as well as countertop models. While it didn't achieve a recommended rating, the LG MHEC1737F with air fry (Best Buy, Home Depot) performed reasonably well in its tests.

There are millions of OTR microwave ovens installed. Provide proof of this statement.

Thank you for the share @wdccruise

Do you have a perspective on the quality of the air fryer? I hear its lacking.

Owners have comments on this feature. Search "air fry" on the Home Depot and Best Buy product webpages.

My sister caught her sweater on fire when trying to get into the OTR MW over her gas range.

I have personally spilled hot soup on me when trying to take it out of an OTR MW many years ago

Why put the micro in that spot? The main reason is to fake a ventilation system. There is no ventilation in most cases. An airfryer toaster oven is useful for $250. Ninja makes an excellent one.
