I've had one in my kitchen for about 15 years. I'm rather short, but I have to admit I've never once had a problem getting anything out of the microwave or spilling the hot contents on me. I've also raised 2 kids in this house and have never had a problem with them and the microwave nor it being over our stove. It works great and I like it where it is, even tho it is a big open kitchen with plenty of countertop space. Ours IS vented to the outside, as we built the house.
Sounds like it is a matter of personal opinion, to me.
