Buying a Small Integrated Microwave

This is a method of cutting into the wall to mount your appliance, so it's best to enlist the help of a professional installer. Pro: Creates a custom appearance for your kitchen particularly when grouped with other appliances, such as a wall oven.
Size
Microwaves come in various sizes to suit your kitchen and cooking style. There are three types of microwaves: countertop models that you can place on your table or counter and over-the-range models (microwave and hood) and built-in units that can be incorporated in your kitchen cabinets.
If you're looking for a compact integrated microwave, you can opt for the Whirlpool slim trim kit. This allows your appliance to take less space and is ideal for kitchens with smaller sizes. There's also a broad range of capacities inside that vary from 0.8 cubic feet to 2.1 cubic feet so that you can pick one that best suits your requirements.
When it comes to integrated microwaves the size you select will depend on whether you want a solo or combi model and whether you're using the appliance for its oven functions as well. In general, they'll need be installed when your kitchen is being designed to ensure it fits in with the overall dimensions of the cabinet you plan to place it. They'll also be higher in the kitchen, meaning they're harder to clean than freestanding microwaves.
Space
Integrated microwaves have become "it-appliance" in modern kitchens. They have many advantages over freestanding models. Designed to seamlessly fit into upper cabinets, they keep countertops free of clutter and provide worktop space for other appliances such as blenders and mixers. They're great for small spaces because of their compact size. Models with cutouts that are low-profile are more sleek. The interior space varies, but most models have around 0.8 cubic foot. Choose a model that has smaller width to fit in smaller spaces, and also consider a model with a shorter height to reduce space above the range.
Because they are higher in the cabinet, integrated microwaves can be more difficult to clean than freestanding counterparts. This can be avoided by planning carefully and using the right cleaning techniques.
Looks
A small microwave with integrated features provides the same functionality as a countertop model, but it doesn't require any counter space and can provide your kitchen with a neat appearance. It can be tucked away in an appliance garage or cabinet, it can be hidden behind an opening that blends with the cabinets around it for an individual fitting. This also eliminates the danger of having a worktop microwave that is visible to children since it can be set higher, where it is safe for children to reach.
It's fairly simple to integrate your microwave in your kitchen by constructing it into a cabinet or a cupboard. You can buy an assembly kit to create an individual appearance.
If you are doing a major renovation or construction project, it might be possible to incorporate a microwave in the wall. This will provide an easier and more modern look. However, built in combi microwave can be more challenging because you'll need cut into the structure of your house to install it. It is best to delegate this job to a professional, who can ensure that your walls are able to support the weight of the unit. They can also install any necessary reinforcement.
Installing a drawer-style micro under the counter is another option. It's accessible by swiping a finger on the pull handle. This configuration is ideal for kitchens with limited countertop space. It's usually the most cost-effective option because you'll need to pay for a new drawer and installation. This configuration also offers the benefit of landing space that is instantly accessible, making it simpler to place food in the oven and take it out from the oven without having to reach across or under the counter.
