The HMB50162UC was the black version of Bosch’s 500 Series built-in microwave, 1.6 cubic feet at 1,750 watts for a 30 inch opening. Built-in microwaves in a colour other than stainless are now scarce, which changes the calculation when one fails – a stainless replacement in a black cabinet run stands out in a way that most owners will not accept. We check finish-matched availability before recommending replacement on any coloured built-in.
