Size
microwaves built in are available in a variety of sizes to suit your kitchen and cooking style.

If you are looking for a compact integrated microwave, you can choose the Whirlpool slim trim kit. This allows the appliance to take up less space and is suitable for kitchens with smaller spaces. You can also select various capacities inside which range from 0.8 cubic foot to 2.1 cubic foot to suit your requirements.
When it comes to integrated microwaves, the size you choose will depend on whether you'd like an individual or a combination model, and whether you're using the appliance to perform oven functions as well. They'll usually require installation when your kitchen is planned, to make sure that it fits in the cabinet where it'll be placed. They'll also be higher up in the cabinet, making them harder to clean.
Space
Integrated microwaves have become "it-appliance" for modern kitchens. They offer many advantages over freestanding models. They are designed to seamlessly fit into upper cabinets and keep countertops free of clutter. This allows for more space on the worktops for other appliances such as mixers and blenders. They're perfect for small spaces due to their compact size. Models with a low-profile cutout are more streamlined. The interior space can vary, but most models offer about 0.8 cubic feet. Look for a model that's narrower to fit into tighter spaces. Also, consider a model that is shorter to save space above the range.
Because they are higher in the cabinet, integrated microwaves may be harder to clean than their freestanding counterparts. This is easily avoided by planning carefully and utilizing the correct cleaning techniques.
Looks
Small-sized microwaves can provide the same functionality as countertop models, however they don't require any counter space. They can also help give your kitchen a neat appearance. In an appliance garage or cabinet it can be concealed behind a door that blends in with the cabinets around it for an individual fit. This method also eliminates the risk of having a worktop microwave that is visible to children because it can be put higher up where it's safe for children to reach.
It's relatively easy to incorporate your microwave into your kitchen by building it into a cabinet or cupboard. For a custom look, you can purchase trim kits from the manufacturer to fill in the gaps between the microwave and the cabinetry.
If you are doing an extensive renovation or construction project, it may be possible to install an integrated microwave into the wall. This will give your home an easier and more modern look. This isn't an easy solution, as you will have to cut through your home's structure to install it. This is a task best left to a professional who will make sure your existing walls are strong enough to support the weight of the unit, and also add any reinforcements that are required.
Another option is to install an under-counter microwave that is drawer-style counter that can be opened by simply swiping your finger against the pull handle. This configuration is ideal for kitchens that have limited countertop space, and it's typically the most cost-effective solution as you'll only need to purchase an entirely new drawer and installation. It also comes with the benefit of immediately available landing space, making it easier to place food in and take it out of the oven than reaching over or under the countertop.
