Overview

Mounted above the range rather than sitting on the counter, the BLACK+DECKER EM044KB19 combines a 1000-watt, 1.9 cu ft microwave with a two-speed 400 CFM venting fan and one-touch auto-cook menus. It's built to replace a range hood and microwave in one installed unit.

As an over-the-range model, this one is doing double duty as both a microwave and the kitchen's ventilation. The 13.5 inch turntable can be switched off for oversized dishes, and a two-level cooking rack is included so more than one dish can reheat per cycle. Installation depends on matching your existing cabinet cutout, which is worth checking before ordering since this replaces a fixed fixture rather than a countertop appliance.

  • 1.9 cu ft interior, 1000 watts
  • 13.5 inch turntable, on/off switchable
  • 10 power levels plus child lock
  • 29.9 x 15.4 x 16.4 inch exterior

Who it's for

Suits anyone replacing an existing over-the-range microwave and vent combo who wants pre-set auto-cook menus and turntable-off flexibility for large dishes. Not a fit for someone who just needs a small countertop unit, since this is a fixed installation above a range.

What buyers say

From Amazon customer reviews.

Reviewers describe the controls as easy to use with a clear digital display, and the turntable and child lock get called out as helpful, though the lock needs re-enabling after any power interruption. Operating noise is a recurring complaint, and heating results are described as inconsistent by at least one buyer. One reviewer reported a unit failing completely within a few months and described a slow, multi-step warranty process through the manufacturer rather than Amazon.

Strengths and trade-offs

Drawn from this product's published specifications.

What stands out
  • Two-speed 400 CFM venting fan
  • One-touch presets for nine food types
  • Turntable can switch off for large dishes
  • Two-level rack included for reheating

Performance notes

The 400 CFM fan runs at two speeds and vents cooking exhaust from the range below, which is the main functional difference from a countertop microwave at the same wattage. One-touch menus preset power and time for nine food types by weight, and the 13.5 inch turntable can be switched off to fit a wide dish across the 19.84 x 13.78 inch interior. A two-level rack is included for reheating more than one dish per cycle.
