Venting power and a narrower 24 inch footprint make this a solid over-the-range pick, though check the mounting template against the cabinet before drilling.

Overview
A 24 inch footprint sets the KoolMore KM-MOT-OP1SS apart from standard over-the-range microwaves, pairing a 1.3 cu. ft. interior with a 300 CFM vent motor built into a stainless steel front. It replaces a traditional range hood while adding microwave cooking in one lower-profile unit.
Installation replaced a range hood for several owners, which in some cases meant wiring a new outlet, and at least one reviewer found the mounting template misaligned by an inch, needing extra hardware to secure it.
- 1.3 cu. ft. interior, 1000W cooking power
- 300 CFM vent motor
- 24 in. width, narrower than standard 30 in. units
- Plug-in installation, stainless steel front
Who it's for
A kitchen with a narrower stove or cabinet gap, where a standard 30 inch over-the-range unit will not fit, is exactly what this microwave was sized for. Anyone replacing a hood-only setup who is not prepared to run electrical for a plug-in microwave should plan ahead first.
Pros and cons
- Fits a 24 inch footprint versus standard 30 inch units
- 300 CFM venting doubles as a range hood
- Plug-in installation, no hardwiring required
- Mounting template reported off by an inch for one buyer
- Only two toggle bolts provided for mounting
- One install reportedly took 8-9 hours with three people
Performance notes
The 300 CFM motor is meant to vent smoke, odor and moisture from the cooktop below, on top of the microwave's own 1000 watt cooking. A turntable can be switched on or off, and the fan and light run independently for use as a straightforward range hood when the microwave itself is not needed.
