Microwave and Oven Integrated

Microwave ovens are a useful addition to any kitchen. They cook food faster than regular ovens and can help you save time with a quick preparation.

Integrate your microwave into your kitchen to create an individual style. Built-in microwaves can be found in flush installation styles, which offer plenty of storage space while ensuring your workspace is free of clutter.

Built-in

Created to be integrated into cabinets in the kitchen or a fixed wall, built-in microwaves create a sleek and refined appearance to your kitchen. They bring a stylish look to your kitchen and come with high-end features to help you cook and bake easily. Available in a variety of sizes and power levels, built-in microwaves make space for counter space in your home and are great for families with busy schedules.


Installing built-in microwaves at eye level or within reach will allow for easy operation. When placing your microwave it is essential to find the perfect balance between ergonomics and functional. Consider the height of your appliance when installing it. It is also possible to adjust your position to make it comfortable.

You can choose from a variety of styles and choose the perfect fit for you kitchen. Certain models come with a flush-built design that fits flush against standard cabinet depths to offer an effortless installation. Other microwaves feature sleek minimalist lines that match traditional or contemporary kitchen designs.

If you prefer, you can also select a microwave with a turntable or removable racks to help you evenly heat and cook food. For added convenience there are models that have shortcut keys, convenience keys and time cook settings to aid you in saving time when cooking.

A new trend in microwaves is the introduction of flatbed technology. Unlike traditional turntables, flatbed microwaves are completely flat inside which allows you to place wider dishes in your appliance and heat them up more evenly. Flatbed microwaves are also easier to clean since there aren't any nooks or crevices in which food could get stuck.

Built-in microwaves are often seen as being more difficult to maintain than countertop microwaves. But with the right knowledge and care you can easily maintain your integrated microwave to keep it looking as good as new. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's recommendations for cleaning and maintenance in order to extend the life of your appliance.

Countertop

Countertop models are the most common microwave ovens. They sit on your kitchen counter, and offer easy, convenient access. They typically come with a range of power capacities, features and finishes and also a variety of colors to match the decor of your kitchen. They don't need installation or mounting, which means you can bring them with you should you ever relocate.

These kitchen appliances are more than just a device to warm frozen coffee or food items. A lot of models feature advanced features like weight and time defrost settings that maximizes the time it takes to completely thaw frozen food. Some models include a Keep Warm feature that keeps food warm and ready to eat for up to sixty minutes. This makes them perfect for entertaining or for everyday use.

When it comes to selecting the right countertop microwave, the size can be an important aspect. While the standard kitchen counters have an average depth of 25 1/2", the maximum countertop space for a countertop microwave is 16". This will leave less space on the kitchen's work surface and limit the way you make use of that space at your home.

Installing a microwave into drawers is a great option for those who are in a tight spot and need immediate access to a microwave but have limited counter space. This can help you save counter space, and also put the appliance away when not being used, without sacrificing other kitchen storage space. It's also a great choice for small spaces and apartment kitchens and dorm rooms or rec rooms where counter space is at a premium.

Another method to free your counter space is to install an integrated microwave. Unlike oven with built in microwave that sit on the counter, built-in models are fitted into the kitchen cabinets or built into the wall for an aesthetically pleasing look. This allows you to integrate your microwave into the design of your kitchen, so that it appears like it's part of the design.

Drawer

Microwave drawers are sleek, modern addition to kitchens. They seamlessly blend into cabinets to maximize space in the kitchen. They are a favorite among homeowners who value convenience and functionality while ensuring a clean countertop. Regular maintenance and the right use will help extend the life span of this nifty appliance.

Drawer microwaves are available in standard sizes for cabinets of 24 to 30 inches, which makes them a perfect fit for modern kitchen layouts. They don't require extensive modifications. Contrary to traditional microwaves which require counter space these models slide out of the cabinet and open with the press of a button, leaving your counters open to work from, decorate items, or other tasks.

Although you may need to clear the countertop before putting a dish into the microwave, this type of appliance won't require the space that an over-the counter or built-in model needs to operate. In addition, the sliding design eliminates the necessity for a turntable which can save even more space on your countertop. This allows you to make use of large rectangular dishes as well as oval jars that wouldn't fit on a turntable.

Because these appliances are set at a higher level and are more ergonomic, they offer better access for users of all abilities and ages. They make it easier to retrieve and place dishes, thus reducing the chance of spills and overheating. Furthermore, these units offer more visibility into the cooking space, which helps reduce frustration when cooking meals.

The worth of this option is contingent on the particular circumstances. If you need additional countertop space, love the ergonomic design, and would like advanced cooking features, such as convection or sensor technology, a drawer microwave can be a good investment for your modern kitchen. If you're happy with your countertop or prefer a minimalist style, this choice might not be the best choice for you.

Over the Range

Microwavables over the range are installed on stoves or cooktops in order to reduce counter space and create an elegant, integrated look. These kitchen appliances are versatile and can be used as range vents or hood vents to eliminate smoke, steam and cooking odors. They also provide overhead lighting to aid in cooking and meal prep tasks. Smart microwaves that are over-the-range can connect to your LG oven and connect to the ThinQ app for a more efficient experience.

You can pick from a range of styles and sizes to complement your kitchen design and fit in with other appliances. Many models have a stainless steel or chrome finish to match other countertop appliances, such as a refrigerator, oven, and dishwasher. Some models come with charcoal filters to cut down on the smells and fumes. Some models also have a vent that can be switched between venting to the outside and recirculation mode depending on the cooking requirements and the kitchen's ventilation configuration.

The models that are over-the-range are also simpler to use than countertop models. This is true especially when you are using the microwave to cook or warm frozen food items. It is risky to reach over the hot stove or cooktop to get a countertop microwavable in particular if you are not cautious.

Over-the-range models also save counter space and can be used to store cookbooks and other kitchen appliances that are small. However, these microwaves are typically more expensive than countertop models and require professional installation.

The decision between an over the range or countertop microwave is contingent on the layout of your kitchen and the counter space available, and your personal preferences. Both types of microwaves can make your kitchen more efficient, but over the range models can assist in reducing counter space and offer integrated ventilation for a more convenient cooking experience.
