I've been enjoying and falling crazy in love with my new range and over the range microwave from Frigidaire. (Just for the record, falling in love with an appliance is completely legal.) From having more space, to enjoying the ease of use for faster results, and more, I have A LOT to fill you in on with this range.


I'd like to begin with the "wow" factor, though. So, I'll show you what a difference it's made in my own, humble home. Here's "Before".




Please try not to be too shocked with the before. I do have an explanation for that. When we received the measurements for the over the range microwave, we wanted to make sure it was flush with the bottom of the cabinet next to it after installation. So, we took the original hood off and had someone alter the size of the cabinet for us. I just forgot to get a picture of the hood before it was gone.

Anyway, do you see how crowded that counter is next to the original range? That small area makes a big difference in my kitchen as the other counter tops are pretty well occupied with canisters and small appliances. Also, it was very hard to do any prep work on that little counter for meals.

Sheesh...what a mess. Thank goodness for the "after". Allow me to introduce you to my

Frigidaire Gallery Premier Collection 1.8 Cu. Ft. Over-The-Range Microwave and Frigidaire Gallery 30" Freestanding Gas Range.

Ah, now that looks good. Right? What's that? Oh! You want to know about that extra counter space. Here, have a look-see for yourself.



Like I said earlier, I have a few fun things to show you about these items and I'll be doing that over the next couple of months. Hopefully, you'll find that you get to know these items very well as I learn them and share what I know. So far, I can say for certain, the protective coating on the stainless steel is awesome. I've not had to wipe off any finger prints yet. I feel so spoiled. :)

I wrote this review while participating in a Test Drive Campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Frigidaire and received a FrigidaireRange/Microwave to facilitate my review.
