The product, in the report: Over-the-Range Microwave Oven
The vent grill on this over-the-stove microwave oven is fastened to the body of the oven with plastic pieces that become brittle with the heat and break in a fairly short time. The front of this piece is metal, which matches the rest of the oven, so it looks very well-built. However, I’ve seen reviews on consumer sites that correspond to our experience of the plastic hangers breaking and the heavy vent piece falling on the stove. This is very loud and potentially hazardous if it falls off when something is cooking below. It could tip over burning food or startle the cook into burning or otherwise hurting themselves to jump out of the way. This piece has fallen off twice on our stove, but some reviews mentioned six times. Replacement parts are made of the same flimsy construction and do not last. This was surprisingly poorly designed and concealed by the outer metal finish of the piece which is misleading to consumers.
