Size

Space
Integrated microwaves have become 'it-appliance' for modern kitchens. They offer many advantages over freestanding models. Designed to seamlessly fit into upper cabinets, they help keep countertops free of clutter and free worktop space for other appliances like mixers and blenders. Their compact size makes them suitable for small spaces and models with a low profile cutout make them even more streamlined. The interior space can vary in each model, but the majority offer about 0.8 cubic feet. Choose a model that has smaller width to fit into smaller spaces.
