Read reviews by Consumer Reports and totally agree with their report. Installed it myself with good step by step instructions. Have been using it for a week and couldn't be happier with the features.

GE 1.7 Cu. Ft. Black Over-The-Range Microwave Oven
on June 13, 2017

First and foremost, the installation was a breeze; we simply used the existing GE mounting bracket from a previous GE over-the-range microwave oven that became faulty. However, the instructions includes templates for wall and cabinet drilling as well as all of the necessary hardware. The installation instructions recommends two people for lifting the unit into place. Please read and follow all of the included instructions for a proper and safe installation of your new GE Over-The-Range Microwave Oven.
After opening it up, I read thru the included instructions. The instructions were very detailed and I was able to easily change the orientation of the blower fan. This was a very important step for our installation as we do not have an exhaust duct. A total of 4screws were removed to access the blower assembly housing and I was able to orient the fan towards the front of the microwave unit. Don't fret, the wire is plenty long enough to easily change the blower assembly's orientation. I had the luxury of having three people present for the install and just make sure you have someone to fish the cord through the hole before mounting into place. The microwave also comes with mounting instructions and template you can tape to the underside of the cabinets and to the wall where the mounting plate is to be installed. All necessary mounting hardware is also included. Install time took us less than 20 minutes, however, we were able to use the previous mounting plate that cam with our Ge microwave oven back in 2012. Read the instructions carefully.
On to the JVM6175DKBB review. The GE over-the-range microwave oven, model: JVM6175DKBB performs superbly. Moreover, the microwave cooks very evenly and thoroughly; in addition, it also heats and boild liquids with ease. There are two things about this particular model that I like better than our previous GE microwave. First, the vent fan is noticeably quieter, although, while it's still audible on high and low settings, it's no where near as obtrusively loud as our previous model. Next, I like how this model contains two bulbs for the surface light unit. This makes our cooktop much easier to see. Key features include: .7 cu. ft. Capacity, Weight/Time Defrost, “Add 30 Seconds” Button, Melt Feature, 2-Speed, 300-CFM Venting System and Turntable On/Off.
The black finish of the GE model JVM6175DKBB is also superb and matches all of our existing black GE appliances. However, it can attract fingerprints. I recommend wiping the unit with a microfiber cloth and try to avoid using paper towels as the paper towels could cause small surface scratches.
I would recommend this to a friend!
