Overview
The Haier HMV1472BHS is a 24 inch over-the-range microwave with 1.4 cubic feet of capacity, built for kitchens with a narrower cabinet opening than the standard 30 inch size. It includes sensor cooking, a 300 CFM vent, and preset buttons for popcorn, potato, beverage and reheat.
- 1.4 cu ft capacity, 24 inch width
- 300 CFM ventilation
- Sensor cooking with automatic adjustment
- Preset buttons for popcorn, potato, beverage, reheat
Who it's for
Kitchen renovations or older homes with a 24 inch cabinet opening where a standard 30 inch over-the-range microwave will not fit. Less suited to anyone wanting a unit likely to outlast its one-year warranty without a door switch issue.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Owners like the 24 inch width for cabinets that will not fit a standard microwave, the glass digital controls, and the interior space for a full dinner plate. The strongest recurring complaint is door switch failure landing just past the one-year warranty, with replacement cost quoted near the price of the unit itself, and one reviewer reported a unit that turned on by itself and would not shut off.
Strengths and trade-offs

- Interior fits a dinner plate and tall glass
- 300 CFM vent pulls smoke from the cooktop
- Door switch reported to fail around 8 to 15 months
- Installation hardware missing for one buyer

Questions about the Haier HMV1472BHS
Common buyer questions answered straight from the product spec data - no fluff, no "it depends".
Why choose the Haier HMV1472BHS over a standard microwave?
It is 24 inches wide, fitting cabinet openings too narrow for the more common 30 inch over-the-range microwaves.
Does it come with installation hardware?
Reports vary; at least one buyer received a unit without the parts needed to install it and had to source them separately.
What is the most common complaint about this microwave?
Door switch failure, reported by multiple owners between 8 and 15 months of use, generally just after the one-year warranty ends.
