Over-the-Range Microwaves at RC Willey
Welcome to RC Willey’s selection of over-the-range microwaves, where innovative kitchen appliances meet modern cooking needs. These microwave ovens are more than just a space-saving solution; they are a stylish and functional addition to any kitchen. Let's explore why an Over-the-range microwave could be the perfect fit for your home.
Why Choose an Over-the-Range Microwave?
Space Efficiency: One of the key benefits of an Over the Range Microwave is its space-saving design. By integrating a microwave and a vent hood in one, you save valuable counter space, making it ideal for smaller kitchens or for those who prefer a minimalist look.
Sensor Cooking Technology: Many models, including those from top brands like Whirlpool and GE, feature sensor cooking controls. This technology automatically adjusts the cooking time and power for perfect results every time, whether you're defrosting, reheating, or cooking.
Ventilation Options: A common question is whether over-the-range microwaves need to be vented. The answer is yes, and thankfully, these appliances come with built-in ventilation systems. The vent helps to eliminate smoke, steam, and odors from stovetop cooking, ensuring a fresh kitchen environment.
Features and Models to Consider
Cooking and Heating Controls: Look for models with easy-to-use controls for a seamless cooking experience. Features like one-touch settings and simple button interfaces make operation a breeze.
Size and Capacity: At RC Willey, we cater to every kitchen's unique needs with our varied selection of over-the-range microwaves. For compact kitchens or those seeking a minimalistic design, our smaller models, ranging from 1.6 to 1.7 cu ft, are a perfect fit. And for those who require more room for bigger dishes or extensive cooking, our larger microwaves offer capacities from 1.8 to 2.1 cu ft.
Design and Aesthetics: We offer microwaves in various styles to match your kitchen. Choose from sleek stainless steel, elegant black stainless steel, classic black, or timeless white. We also have GE's unique slate color, adding an earthy, dark finish to your kitchen.
Installation and Safety Considerations
Height and Clearance: How far does a microwave need to be above a stove? Safety and functionality are key, so it's crucial to ensure proper clearance.
Over-the-range models include built-in ventilation systems that are designed to specifically filter and vent exhaust that comes from your cooktop. These systems filter cooktop exhaust in two ways: either venting it outside your home or recirculating it indoors. This ensures a clean and fresh kitchen environment, no matter your home's venting setup.
The minimum distance between the stovetop and the bottom of the microwave typically ranges from 13 to 18 inches, depending on the model and local building codes.
Professional Installation: For optimal performance and safety, professional installation is recommended. This ensures that the microwave is securely mounted and that the ventilation system is properly connected.
Typical Costs
Model Pricing: The price of an over-the-range microwave will vary on a few things, such as brand, size, and features. At RC Willey our prices range from $180 to $2379 (taxes and delivery fees not included).
Average Installation Cost (Labor Only): According to a 2023 Homeguide survey, installing an over-the-range microwave typically costs between $100 and $300, not including the microwave itself.
Additional Costs: If your kitchen needs new electrical outlets, venting, or cabinet modifications, the installation cost can increase. Also, disposing of an old microwave may cost $20 to $50.
