Overview
The ZLINE MWO-OTRCFH-30-BS is the black stainless steel version of ZLINE's 30 inch, 1.5 cu ft over-the-range microwave, built with the same 300 CFM ventilation and convertible ducting as the satin stainless model but finished in PVD-coated black stainless.
The finish is the main distinction from ZLINE's satin stainless equivalent: this black stainless comes from a physical vapor deposition coating that ZLINE says forms a durable ceramic layer rather than a painted or powder coated surface. Everything else, the 300 CFM 2-speed ventilation, DiamondTech interior, glass turntable and convertible ducting, carries over unchanged. ZLINE notes this microwave and its charcoal filters ship in multiple boxes, worth expecting at delivery. No rating or review data is attached to this listing.

Who it's for

Performance notes
Ventilation and cooking performance mirror ZLINE's satin stainless version: up to 300 CFM across 2 speeds, ducted or ductless with the included charcoal filters, and a convection rack for convection mode. The PVD coating is what differs, producing the black stainless surface through a bonded ceramic process rather than a topical finish.
