Hey folks, Thank you so very much for making such an easy to follow and straightforward tutorial.

Keep up the good work! Thanks.

Thank you man. I studied mine up and down thinking there would be bolts mounting mine somewhere else but couldn't find anything. I knew there couldn't only be 2 bolts inside a cabinet holding this monster in place but couldn't be sure what it was, so I came here to be put at ease about what's coming. You're video is straight to the point too so you've earned a sub. Now then.. this things all busted up and covered in a quarter inch of grease so I can't wait to get it out and shower. Thanks again!

Thanks. This was great info. I now feel I can take mine out without huge problems. I like that your video was short, to the point and full of good instructions. I am so happy I didn't have to listen to "how a microwave works" in order to take one out like so many other videos that just go on and on before getting to the actual deed.

Your videos were excellent, because of you I can get someone to help me remove and install a microwave over the range. I loved your details so now I know I’ll need to remove cabinet doors, a 1/4 inch x 30 inch plywood x 6 inches to meet the tile backsplash, a light drill, drill bit for hanging/screw, hole cutter for cord, spade bit to hang microwave from cabinet, screwdriver, stud finder, cardboard to slide microwave on countertop, scissors to cut templates and steps tool to get up and screw microwave into cabinet. I can do this with a strong helper.

Everyone else is shortcut happy, which usually leads to sub par work or me just doing it myself and calling my guy when I get in over my head.
