BLACK+DECKER Over the Range Microwave Oven with Vent and One-Touch Auto Cooking, 1.7 cu. ft. OTR Over Stove Microwave, Stainless Steel, 1000 Watts, EM044K6CE-SS

The BLACK+DECKER Digital Microwave Oven is easy to use with a clear digital display and a convenient push-button door. The turntable ensures even heating, and the child safety lock adds extra peace of mind. It heats food quickly and reliably, making it great for everyday cooking. The compact design fits well in most kitchens. One thing I’m not used to is that the interior light is quite dim when the door is opened.

The functionality is excellent. Easy to use features and the size is ideal. After trying three other microwaves, this one was perfect.

I read several of my go-=to review sites and this one came up as one of the best on each and every one. As I said, it's at a reasonable price, too. I'm not a frequent microwave user. I use it to heat my leftover coffee, to bake sweet potatoes, and to heat milk for lattes. But I had surgery upcoming so needed something so my caregivers could reheat meals I had stocked in the freezer. This one met the criteria and that was that. The one thing I don't really like is the noise that EVERY microwave delivers when you open and shut the door. It's part of the design so the no harmful waves escape and I get that. But at 5:00 am and to hear that slamming door ugh it simply irritates me. There was a "QUIET" microwave cited on many of the review sites and it was a bit more money. AS I said, I only really needed it to reheat meals so I didn't;t care. But now I wish I had spent the extra whatever dollars to have one that just wasn't as loud. I'm sure it's still noisy for none of these can be silent, but oh well. That's my burden. You can choose your only.:) Anyway--it's perfectly fine, adjustable power levels, I think I made popcorn in it once. All things it's supposed to do and it does them really well. It's easy to keep clean and the profile is a bit shorter than most so it fits nicely under my overhang shelves. It has super storage area on top very even with no contours or decorative design distractions, so it has given me as much counter space back as it took away and that's a big plus in a small kitchen where I think this model was truly intended to shine.

I have to say, I’m getting used to it, but it’s loud. I also didn’t care for the child lock on it, but it can be disabled, and will need to be disabled should there be a power interruption. It heats well enough, hard for me to compare because my last one was 1100 ways, this guy is 1000 so you lose a little power. All in all, it’s a decent microphone for the price. I can’t speak to the longevity as of yet, but I hope it does well there. 05/10/25 This microwave has been awful from the beginning. It heats inconsistently. You’ll warm a cup of room temp coffee one time and it will take a minute, the ext time it will be a minute and a half. I’ve been dealing with this since purchase, but today the door aluminum shell) fell off. I was doing dishes and heard a noise, and the door cover was on the floor. I called the number of the manufacturer given here on Amazon, only to be told it was the wrong number. They gave me another number, and I called. The fellow took my information and told me to expect an email. The email requested the normal proofs of purchase, a photo of the door off and the serial number. I did a screenshot of the invoice on Amazon and sent it off. Within 10 minutes I got an email saying that the screenshot didn’t show the total price with taxes. So I went back to Amazon and did a copy paste of the invoice, which shows everything. Got another email stating they could not accept this. So I have spent numerous hours trying to get a PDF of the invoice from Amazon. I have had (unfortunately) to do this one other time, but I’m not enjoying the repeated calls, long wait times and in my opinion, Amazon is not as customer friendly as it used to be. Caveat Emptor.

Good size compact oven to fit on my small countertop that I was looking for to replace my other oven that stopped working after almost 5 years. It is easy to operate for my 100 year old dad so we’re happy. Since we don’t have kids in the house we disabled the lock which is easy to do. It’s not the white color inside the oven but that’s ok it’s not super jet black either. It’s working nicely for our needs, Warming liquids and solids too.

Purchased 11/14/25 and on 2/7/26, not even 3 months later, it overheated itself and died 30 seconds into a mundane task of heating a frozen burrito. Became a complete brick afterwards—it must’ve fried something internally. This was bad enough, but the customer service in trying to rectify this has been a nightmare. 1) contacted Amazon first. As the item was just passed its return window, I needed to contact black and decker by emailing Spectrum brands. 2) Cool. I emailed the link provided. 3) A week later, they reply asking me to follow a link to an online form where I am to provide details about the malfunctions product. I fill it out, noting the specific model # wasn’t a selection in the drop down menu on that form. 4) A few days later, they reply that specific model isn’t one they cover and I need to call Black and Decker directly via the phone number provided. 5) I call the number and navigate the phone tree to get to the appropriate division (customer service for kitchen appliances). 6) The person I spoke to took my information and ultimately informed me that this is not a product they, Spectrum Services, cover, and that I need to call Black and Decker directly. 7) Me: …you mean THIS number I’m already calling? I received an email from Spectrum Services that said exactly what you did—call the company directly—and gave me this number. 8) Them: “You were told to call Black and Devker directly and they gave you this number?!” “Yes.” “I’m sorry, it shouldn’t have. You need to go to the Black and Decker website…” me: “No.” Okay, a bit curt, but I was beyond over this. 9) I tried calling the provided number again and this time chose a different phone tree option that got me to a live person. They were finally able help with my case. (Midia support is their name, BTW). They emailed me instructions that included requests for photos of receipt/proof of purchase (including model #, date, total sale, photo of serial number) and a video demonstrating it doesn’t work. I just finished sending all that info over to them, so we shall see. I was told initially that after I sent them the info, they would review it (takes a few weeks) and if approved, will send me a check in another month or two. A long drawn out—and flawed—process that pretty clearly seems focused on getting the customer to give up and cease trying to recover their money. Keep this in mind when buying a cheap appliance on Amazon, even when it’s a name brand. I recommend buying in person at Best Buy or similar if at all possible. Caveat emptor.

This microwave is great! It looks very nice in my kitchen. Most importantly it is easy to use. I have had past microwaves that have so many features they are hard to use.

My husband and I were randomly taking about how this microwave has held up over the years so I thought I’d do a review on it. We’ve had this microwave for 7 years and have had no issues! Definitely recommend. Not too small and not too big. Perfect size for the counter. Heats food up great, etc.

Great size for smaller spaces. Works perfect, heats fast and is so much quieter then our previous microwave. You can barely hear it when it’s running.

I got this microwave in june2021 and today just 10 min ago jan 11th 2022 it blew. It sparked and caused a fireball. The metal panel on the right side Inside blew up and popped.

Llego una semana después de la fecha y con golpes en la parte interna de la puerta.

El producto es bueno pero lo mejor es que DHL lo lleva hasta la puerta de tu casa aunque vivas en una ranchería sin nombre en las calles

Es un modelo muy bonito , cómodo no te ocupa demasiado espacio , y está espacioso
