Frigidaire FGMV174KF 1.7 Cu. Ft. 1000W Gallery Series Over the Range Microwave - Stainless Steel

Steer clear of this brand - seriously! We purchased this microwave in 2005. It looked nice, and has functioned just fine. However, shortly after the warranty ran out, the glass window in the door detached. On further inspection, one of the cheap, plastic clips that held the glass panel in place had broken off. The fix that was offered to us was to buy a replacement door for about $80. This we did.

Once again, everything was fine for awhile, then the same issue happened with the replacement door. This time my husband tried gluing the window in place. It looked awful, but held for awhile. Eventually, we replaced the door again. Please note that the warranty period on the replacement parts is only 90 days. I can see why they have such a short warranty period. They know their doors aren't going to last much longer than that.

We are now looking at having to replace the door a third time. Of course, doing so would be ridiculous at this point. If we buy a 3rd door,...Read more

Like the title states, we loved the microwave for the first year. Great looks, and good funtionality.

Now, 40 days outside of the 1 year warranty the door latch has broke. I cannot believe that they use a plastic tab to connect the spring latch to the door.

I could not reccommend this product to anyone that wants it to last longer than a year, which would be everyone.

I have the option of paying $190 for a new door that will last only a year, or buying a new unit. I'll try a new brand, and I advise you to do the same.

The incessant beeping is enough to make you want to put your own head inside the microwave. Next to that, when you select a defrost time, it literally stops every 30 seconds to tell you to turn it over. and wont start ubnless you open and close the door then push start again I HATE THIS THING. Good thing it LOOKS NICE because the features, the beeping, and the UI is absolutely UNNERVING. I am writing this as some steaks are defrosting in it and the constant stops and beeping has just finally gotten me to the point where I had to come here and whine about it.
