Overview
At 30 inches wide, Frigidaire's FFMV1846VS mounts over the range with 1.8 cu ft of capacity, 1000 cooking watts and a two-speed 105/300 CFM fan for venting above the stove.
Multiple owners bought it specifically to replace an aging Frigidaire OTR unit and found the existing mounting bracket and cabinet holes lined up, cutting install time. The tradeoff, per one owner, is that the fan clears smoke and odor well mainly when cooking sits directly under the microwave rather than across the whole stovetop. It runs non-ducted by default; a kit for outside venting is sold separately.

- 300 CFM two-speed fan
- Child lock and 27-button panel
- LED cooktop light
Who it's for
Kitchens replacing an existing over-the-range Frigidaire benefit most, since the mounting bracket and holes tend to match. Cooks relying on strong ventilation across the whole stovetop, not just directly under the unit, should look for a stronger fan.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Owners repeatedly report that replacing an older Frigidaire OTR unit went smoothly because the mounting bracket and cabinet holes matched up, and most describe the fit and finish as attractive with an easy-to-navigate control layout. The recurring complaint is that the exhaust fan does not clear smoke, steam or odor well unless the burner in use sits directly beneath the microwave.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Mounting bracket matches older Frigidaire OTR units
- 10 power levels plus child lock included
- Attractive stainless finish, easy to clean
- Straightforward, easy-to-navigate control layout
- Vent fan weak away from the burner below it
- Non-ducted by default, ducting kit sold separately
- Still needs two people to lift into place
- Some installs need extra time for exhaust rerouting
Performance notes
1000 cooking watts across 10 power levels handle standard reheating and defrost tasks, controlled through a 27-button panel with auto defrost and a timer. The 300 CFM fan runs at two speeds but recirculates air by default rather than exhausting outside, since it ships non-ducted; a ducting kit is sold separately for anyone who wants true outside venting.
