Thermomate’s OTR773W microwave solves two kitchen problems at once. It frees up your counter space while adding a capable 300 CFM ventilation fan directly above your stove. The 1.7 cubic foot interior is the practical sweet spot, large enough for a 9×13 casserole dish but without an overly bulky external footprint.

In daily use, the 1000 watts of power heats food quickly and evenly. The ten power levels give you precise control, from gently defrosting chicken to keeping a plate of pasta warm. Four automatic programs handle the basics—popcorn, potatoes, reheating leftovers, and beverages—with reliable, no-fuss results. The ventilation system quietly manages steam and light smoke from stovetop cooking.

Installation requires mounting to a cabinet and connecting to external ducting or a recirculating kit. It’s a straightforward swap for an existing over-the-range unit, but first-time installs should factor in professional help. For a streamlined kitchen, this model delivers solid microwave performance and essential ventilation in a single, space-saving appliance.
