An over-the-range microwave hood combo handles two jobs at once — it replaces the range hood for ventilation and gives you a full-featured microwave above the range without taking up counter space. The Whirlpool WMH32519HZ does both effectively in a 1.9 cu. ft. cavity with 1000 watts of cooking power and a stainless steel exterior that fits most modern kitchen setups.

Sensor Cooking is one of the better features on this unit. Instead of manually setting a cook time and hoping for the best, the sensor monitors steam output as food cooks and adjusts time and power automatically. Food comes out more consistently cooked without the guesswork of microwave timing. The CleanRelease non-stick interior makes cleanup after any splatter quick and easy — a damp wipe handles most messes without scrubbing.

The ventilation system moves air from the cooktop up and out, reducing cooking odors, steam, and smoke in the kitchen during and after cooking. Multiple fan speeds let you dial in the ventilation level based on what you're making. At 1.9 cu. ft., the interior is sized generously enough to handle most everyday microwave tasks, including larger dishes and casserole containers.

Stainless steel exterior coordinates naturally with stainless ranges, dishwashers, and refrigerators for a consistent kitchen look.
