Some models include Keep Warm features that keeps food warm and ready to be eaten for up to 60 minutes. This makes them ideal for everyday use or entertaining.
Size is a crucial aspect when choosing a countertop microwavr. While standard kitchen countertops have a depth of 25 1/2", the maximum countertop space for the countertop microwave is 16". This could mean less space on the kitchen's work surface and limit the way you use that area of your home.
Installing a microwave in drawers is a great option if you are in a tight spot and need fast access to a microwave but have limited counter space. This can help you reduce counter space, put away the appliance when it's not in use, and still have plenty of kitchen storage.

Drawer microwaves are available in standard sizes for cabinets of 24 to 30 inches, which makes them a perfect fit for modern kitchen designs. They don't require extensive modifications. These microwaves aren't like traditional microwaves, which take up counter space. They can be opened and closed by pressing a button. This allows you to use your counters for other reasons, like workspace, decor, or other tasks.
This type of microwave doesn't require as much clearance to function as an over-the counter or built-in appliance. The sliding design also eliminates the necessity for turntables, allowing even more counter space. This lets you make use of large rectangular dishes as well as oval jars that wouldn't fit on the turntable.
Because these appliances are installed at a more accessible height, they offer better ergonomic access for users of all ages and abilities. They allow for easier retrieval and place dishes, reducing the possibility of spills and overheating. In addition, these units provide better visibility into the cooking space, which can reduce stress when cooking meals.

A drawer microwave is an excellent option for modern kitchens if you're looking for more countertop space, enjoy the ergonomic accessibility and want advanced cooking features like convection or sensor. This isn't the right choice for you if happy with your countertop and prefer a minimalist look.
Over the Range
Microwavables over the range are installed on stoves or cooktops to make the most of counter space and give sleek, modern appearance. These kitchen appliances can be used as hood or range vents to eliminate steam, smoke and cooking odors. They also offer overhead lighting to aid in cooking and meal prep tasks. Smart microwaves that are over-the-range can sync with your LG oven and connect to the ThinQ app for a more efficient experience.
You can choose from a range of styles and sizes to match your kitchen style and blend in with other appliances. A lot of models that are over-the-range come with stainless steel or chrome finish that coordinates with other countertop appliances, such as a refrigerator, dishwasher and oven. Certain models have charcoal filters to help reduce the odors and fumes. Some also have a vent that can be switched between venting for exhaust and recirculation depending on your cooking needs and the kitchen's ventilation configuration.
Another benefit of microwaves with an over-the-range design is that they are easier to access than countertop models. This is particularly true if you are using your microwave to heat frozen food items or to prepare meals because they are positioned right where you work. It can be dangerous to reach across a hot cooktop or stove to get a countertop microwavable, especially if not careful.
These models can also be used to store small appliances or cookbooks. These microwaves are more expensive than countertop models, and also require professional installation.
The choice between an over-the range or countertop microwave is contingent on the layout of your kitchen, the amount of counter space you have, and your personal preferences. Both types of microwaves can help your kitchen become more efficient, but over-the-range models can aid in saving counter space, and also provide the ability to vent for a more convenient cooking experience.
