Since it was the only short or small above stove microwave, I didn’t realize the doorwas full width. This replaced an exhaust hood. Would be better if door was narrower as when your at the stove, I feel like I need to dodge it like a boxer dodging a left haymaker. Other than that great microwave.
I love this slimline microwave. It has many preset options and takes up less room. It's sharp looking and since it has a smaller footprint my cabinet over the microwave could have an additional shelf. This does what I need it to do.
Slim design was our target. The door is long and you need to be aware when opening. The buttons do not light up for ease of use. Otherwise it fits our need.

The door does extend 29 5/8" from the front of the microwave. We will pass your feedback along regarding the controls that do not light up.
The ventilation is about a zero. I have it vented to the outside and food smells fill the house for everything that takes more than 5 minutes to cook. The timing of the presets for cooking is too long/powerful and same with the sensors. Looks nice but no I do not recommend.

To improve the odors from cooking, we recommend checking to ensure the charcoal filter is in good condition and doesn't need to be replaced. You can find more information on this on page 20 of the Use and Care Manual here: https://images.salsify.com/image/upload/s--iPgq2WUk--/6af0ce0df5f8cddfa714bdc9a8c24ebf15e81c11.pdf. For more information on how to properly use the presets and other settings, we recommend reading through the information in the same Use and Care Manual starting on page 7. If the issue persists, please make an appointment with one of our Bodewell technicians, by calling 1-833-4BODEWELL or visit this site: https://www.bodewell.com/schedule-repair-service.
This was such a great find because there wasn’t enough clearance from stove top to microwave. This shorter version was perfect for that issue. It looks great with our remodeled kurchen. It was a great idea!
The microwave itself it great, no issues. I was unaware that it had a large fan unit in the back of the microwave itself; so when we installed it, it stuck out about 2-3 inches further than a standard microwave. That’s my fault, I should have paid attention to the measurements- we had a mounted one prior to that so I assumed they would be the same as far as how far they stuck out from the wall.
