We ordered one today. We have a small kitchen so the countertop space is at a premium, which is why we want one over the stove! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/microwave-over-stove#post-1514683 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 21:19:01 +0000 wheres_c 1514683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ours is over the stove.love it as I have more counter space than before.<br /> ventilation is a non issue. </p> [attach=2346/14/n2vafr.450x600.20140322_211631.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/microwave-over-stove#post-1514050 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 13:05:59 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1514050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have serious kitchen envy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/microwave-over-stove#post-1514004 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 12:22:52 +0000 looch 1514004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours is over the stove as well, we're changing it out for a vented hood when it dies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/microwave-over-stove#post-1513309 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 21:59:22 +0000 jhd 1513309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours isn't over the stove because it has to be a certain distance above and we would have to lose cabinet space to make that happen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/microwave-over-stove#post-1513301 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 21:54:05 +0000 yoursilverlining 1513301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with @CupQuakeWalk, I would NOT do a microwave over a stove, given the option. This is the only thing I dislike about our kitchen, I'd much rather have a vent hood over a stove, especially if you cook a lot. Having a microwave up there is a nuisance and I don't like the way it looks. That said ; you asked for pics.... </p> [attach=1754/14/n2the7.450x600.image.jpg] [attach=1754/14/n2the9.450x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/microwave-over-stove#post-1513198 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 21:03:01 +0000 fancyfunction 1513198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry for the crappy pic. Here's ours - the kitchen was already like this when we bought the place so I didn't give it much thought. </p> [attach=3567/14/n2tf12.448x600.photo-66-.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/microwave-over-stove#post-1513165 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 20:46:29 +0000 LindsayInNY 1513165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@danda: Hmm, I didn't even think of that!

I'm assuming it looks better to stick out some than to be inside any, you know? I'd rather it be a large and out than look all sunken in. How big is the space? Ours is kind of a large microwave and I'm glad because my Mom's is teenie! Some large casserole dishes don't fit in it, so watch out for that if you can help it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/microwave-over-stove#post-1512812 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 17:01:06 +0000 Mae 1512812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: Thanks :) </p> <p>@LindsayInNY: We bought our house with the cabinets/appliances already installed so I guess I really just never even thought of it! Funny because I obsessed about every other decision in there (hardware, backsplash, wall color, etc) lol. Probably goes to show that whatever you pick will be just fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/microwave-over-stove#post-1512811 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 17:00:17 +0000 LindsayInNY 1512811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: Love the backsplash! We're having ours done with red subway tiles :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/microwave-over-stove#post-1512809 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 16:59:23 +0000 LindsayInNY 1512809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CupQuakeWalk: @Mae: We have a big open space above the stove for one and limited counter top space. Problem is finding a microwave to fit the exact space. So I started looking online and realized that most aren't an exact it! I guess it's one of those things you don't really think about until you have to? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/microwave-over-stove#post-1512806 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 16:57:43 +0000 mrs. bird 1512806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: i loooove your kitchen! </p> <p>ours sticks out, i'll go take a pic </p> [attach=2301/14/n2t3vb.600x450.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/microwave-over-stove#post-1512803 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 16:56:35 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1512803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Excuse my blurry thumb in the pic :)<br /> [attach=2389/14/n2t3md.600x450.image.jpg] </p> [attach=2389/14/n2t3pt.450x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/microwave-over-stove#post-1512801 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 16:56:11 +0000 Mae 1512801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours is over our stove. It sticks out a bit, although I had to go find a pic on fb to answer that question because it never occurred to me to notice before lol. </p> [attach=4140/14/n2t3lo.600x399.Screen-Shot-2014-03-21-at-5.55.21-PM.png] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/microwave-over-stove#post-1512800 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 16:55:30 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1512800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually wouldn't do a microwave over a stove (if I had a choice) because of the decrease in ventilation. The ones that have wider fans help air out food smells MUCH better. Also, IMO (who cares about me though), free standing looks more modern. But ours is just as you described so here's a pic: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/microwave-over-stove#post-1512797 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 16:54:11 +0000 MrsH 1512797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just have a hood. Our microwave is in our pantry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/microwave-over-stove#post-1512794 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 16:52:07 +0000 LindsayInNY 1512794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have a microwave over your stove? Is it an exact fit with the cabinets around or does it stick out a little? Upload a pic for me! We're redoing part of our kitchen :) </p>
