Reader Exposé: Are Microwaves Above the Stove Outdated?

Seeing a microwave above the stove is so common that many of us don’t think twice about it. But once it’s been brought to your attention, you escape noticing it in every home you visit. If you like the access and ease of a nearby microwave, this could be a cause for celebration. If you’re firmly on team hood vent, it could be a source of frustration.

One of the biggest complaints we hear about mounting a microwave above the stove is the cheap look it can give to your kitchen. It is also difficult to clean (maytag.com/blog/kitchen/how-to-clean-microwave-filter.html), doesn’t vent well, and can become an unintended focal point. On the plus side, it’s centrally located and easy to access and saves space compared to the dedicated counter space you would need to give up elsewhere. As you’ll read below, our contributors had strong feelings on both sides of this heated issue, so we’ll leave it to you to read through their opinions below and form your own conclusion based on the evidence in our gallery below.
