    There is a comment below by Jeannette H., that reads 'Best instruction video ever for installing a new microwave!'. That pretty much sums things up. Concise, instructive, intuitive and perfect in every way. If only the rest of CZcams would follow this format...Thank you!

    Unrivaled clarity with directions. After viewing, I went out, bought a replacement unit and installed it without incident. This presentation made that effort possible and saved me a $150 install fee. Thank you, iScaper1 ! ! !

    No vent to outside in your oven. Thank you for the filler block instructions. I changed the oven brand from GE to Samsung. The locations of these 2 main bolt holes in GE and Samsung are so close together, I end up with bad figure 8 holes (no strength left in the board and may pull thru). Your video shown The filler blocks. It save the day for me. Thank you for the GREAT video and you took time to teach us step-by-step. You are the BEST.

    This video - literally - saved my life. And my wife’s life. We tried installing one of these about an hour ago and were frustrated because some of the instructions didn’t make sense and we had an unexpected gap between the microwave and the cabinet. After watching this video, we retraces our steps and fixes our mistakes. It’s 1am and we are tired but so grateful for this helpful video that - literally - saved our skin.

    To give myself a little extra security while working on the microwave from above (and removing the top screws from the old unit), I put my car jack underneath with a length of 1x6 board under the microwave. An extra set of (very strong) hands to hold it securely.

      EXACTLY- and, he did not deal with the BIGGEST problem many face- when the F'ing backsplash gets it the way because the space is Not big enough (too big of a space can also be a problem) for the new MW.
      I searched all over and ALL of the proper MWs now are BIGGER than my opening so I need to cut my back splash out (and inch or two) with an Angle Grinder (after I buy one) 😖
