You won't be taking much of a gamble if you opt for the Maytag Over-the-Range Microwave Oven MMV4205A. You can expect reliable performance from this fairly simple model, which offers features that have a well-established track record. These features include eight programs for cooking commonly microwaved dishes and five programs for reheating popular foods. A sensor is not used for these automated programs, so the recommended food quantities must be followed closely in order to achieve acceptable results.

Defrosting can be done by weight or entered manually--fairly standard for this type of oven. The melt/soften options and the custom pad, which allows programming of a commonly used cooking sequence, set this unit apart from other comparable models. The interior, at 2.0 cubic feet, is one of the more spacious available in an over-the-range microwave. A turntable is provided and works to ensure foods are heated evenly.

With 1150 watts of microwave power, this unit may cook faster than you expect, so be sure to adjust recipes accordingly. The Maytag Over-the-Range Microwave Oven MMV4205A mounts easily over the range or cooktop and offers a low-powered ventilation fan for external or re-circulating ventilation, a charcoal filter, and basic cooktop lighting. You can rest easy if you opt for this low-risk over-the-range microwave oven from Maytag.
