Does it vent outside or recirculate?

It is built as an over-the-range unit and can be set up to vent outdoors or to recirculate through the PureAir filter, depending on the install kit and ducting.

How does it compare with a 1.6 cu. ft. over-the-range model?

The cavity is larger, so bigger dishes fit, and the PureAir filter is a feature many 1.6 cu. ft. rivals lack. Venting strength is comparable to other mid-range hood microwaves.

What is included in the box?

The microwave, the PureAir filter and mounting hardware for the over-the-range install. Ducting and vent kits for outdoor venting are separate.

Does it need a dedicated circuit?

Yes. Over-the-range microwaves draw high wattage and should be on their own circuit, installed per the manual.

Is the dark stainless finish real stainless?

It is a dark stainless steel finish over the front surfaces, with matching trim. It resists rust but shows fingerprints more than lighter finishes.

Can it replace my range hood?

Yes. It mounts above the range and vents or filters air, so it takes the place of a hood, though a dedicated hood vents more powerfully.

Our take on the Frigidaire Microwave 1.8 cu. ft. Over The Range in Stainless Steel

The Frigidaire FMOS1846BD is a 1.8 cu. ft. over-the-range microwave in dark stainless steel. It combines a hood vent with a microwave, adds interior and exterior LED lighting, three Quick Start options and a PureAir filter behind a push-to-open door. The capacity is large for the category, matching or beating most 1.6 to 1.7 cu. ft. rivals, and the air filter is a feature many competitors leave out. Owners rate it highly, and the common complaints are about venting strength and the dark finish showing smudges.
