The type of microwave you need is often dependent upon your kitchen’s layout and available space. You may already be accommodating close quarters conditions and wondering how an additional appliance will fit on earth. Refrigerators, wall ovens, cooktops, and dishwashers are all built-in appliances that must be maneuvered around. Additionally, there is an onslaught of trendy countertop appliances like the Sharp Superheated Steam Countertop Oven that could be occupying space in your kitchen. Thankfully, microwave ovens are made in many different shapes, styles, and sizes. This gives you plenty of options when deciding where you can afford to spare some space in your kitchen.
On the Countertop
The classic countertop design is a go-to for many microwave owners. Their simple set up and easy access are primary reasons people pick countertop microwaves like the Sharp Orville Redenbacher calibrated SMC1442CS. A conservative 1.4 cubic feet is all the room you’ll need to dedicate to an appliance such as this one. Without requiring any intricate installation, the countertop design is your best bet for a stress-free setup. Plug in, power up, and start popping popcorn!
Built into a Kitchen Island
The original aesthetic at its finest, the Sharp Stainless Steel IoT Easy Wave Open Microwave Drawer Oven and other similar Sharp Microwave Drawers (such as the Sharp 24″ Black Stainless Steel Microwave Drawer Oven or Sharp 24″ Stainless Steel Microwave Drawer Oven) are guaranteed to make your guests’ jaws drop. Subtle enough to almost go unnoticed at first glance . . . Almost, but once this stunningly sleek appliance catches your eye, it will be impossible to miss. Furthermore, this design is perfect for optimizing your kitchen’s available space. It is easily installed in place of existing cabinetry underneath countertops and cooktops alike.
Over-the-Range
Something is satisfying about a quality microwave with an elite filtration system installed above a cooktop/range in place of an ordinary fume hood. Over-the-Range Microwave Ovens such as the 1.8 cu. ft. 1100W Over-The-Range Microwave Oven embodies this ethereal satisfaction more than most. Similar to the Microwave Drawer, this Over-the-Range microwave design does not interfere with your existing countertop occupants. Instead, an easy installation will leave you free and clear to clutter up your countertop with other exciting appliances.
Over-the-Counter
Much like an Over-the-Range design, Over-the-Counter microwave placements can come in handy if you have little space to spare on your countertops. The 1.5 cu. ft. 1100W Sharp Stainless Steel Over-the-Counter Carousel Microwave Oven is an Over-the-Counter microwave manufactured to optimize your designing experience. This appliance does not require a built-in kit or shelf to install and provides a wide range of options for placement. Additionally, this microwave and those similar to it come equipped with under the cabinet task lighting, further emphasizing the utility of an Over-the-Counter design.
