Buying a Small Integrated Microwave
In-built microwaves can be positioned in cabinets to create an elegant and seamless appearance. This type of microwave is ideal well in smaller kitchens or if you are limited on counter space.
This method requires cutting through the wall to install the appliance. It is recommended to work with an expert installer. Pro: Creates a customized look for your kitchen, particularly when grouped with other appliances such as a wall oven.
Size
Microwaves are available in different sizes to fit your kitchen and cooking preferences. There are three types of microwaves which include countertop models that you can put on your table or counter or over the range (microwave with hood) and built-in microwaves that can be installed in kitchen cabinets.
If you're looking for a small integrated microwave you can opt for the Whirlpool Slim Trim Kit. This enables your appliance to be smaller in size which makes it suitable for kitchens with smaller spaces. You'll also find a wide range of interior capacities that range from 0.8 cubic feet to 2.1 cubic feet, so you can pick one that best suits your requirements.
In the case of integrated microwaves the size you select will depend on whether you'd like an individual or a combination model and if you're using it for oven functions too. In general, they'll have to be installed at the time the kitchen is being designed to ensure it's compatible with the overall dimensions of the cabinet where you plan to place it. They will also be higher than the cabinet, making them harder to clean.
Space
Integrated microwaves are fast becoming the most sought-after appliance for modern kitchens, and they offer a host of advantages over freestanding microwaves. They're designed to be a seamless fit into upper cabinets and make countertops clutter-free. This means there's more space on the worktops for other appliances such as mixers and blenders. They're ideal for small spaces because of their small size. Models with a low-profile cutout are more sleek. The interior space can vary in each model, but the majority offer about 0.8 cubic feet. Look for a model with smaller widths to make it easier to fit into smaller spaces. You may also want to consider one that is shorter to save on space above the range.
As they sit higher up in the cabinet, integrated microwaves can be more difficult to clean than their freestanding counterparts. However, this can be avoided with careful planning and the correct cleaning techniques.
Looks
Small microwaves with integrated ovens provide the same functionality as countertop models, but they don't occupy any counter space. They can also help give your kitchen a neat appearance. It can be placed in a cabinet or appliance garage or behind the door to blend with the surrounding cabinets. This method also eliminates the potential safety hazard of having a microwave in the kitchen visible to young children, since it can be set higher, where it is safe for children to reach.
Converting the microwave into a cabinet or cupboard is one of the most popular ways to incorporate it into your kitchen, and it's generally fairly simple. You can purchase an assembly kit to create an individual appearance.
If you're planning an extensive remodel or construction, it could be possible to build the microwave inside the wall, which will offer an easier design. But, it's an issue because you'll have to cut into the structure of your home to install it. It is best to delegate the job to a professional, who can ensure that your existing walls are strong enough to support the weight of the unit. They can also provide any reinforcement that is required.
Installing a drawer-style micro under the counter is an alternative. It's accessible by simply swiping your finger on a pull handle. This arrangement is ideal for kitchens that have limited counter space. It's also the most cost-effective choice because you'll only have to pay for the installation and drawer. It also comes with the benefit of a readily available landing space, which makes it easier to put food in and remove it from the oven rather than reaching under or over a countertop.
