What is a Built-In Microwave?

A built-in microwave oven is a kitchen appliance integrated seamlessly into cabinetry or a wall unit, offering a clutter-free, space-saving, and stylish cooking solution. Unlike countertop microwaves, built-in models are designed to blend with modular kitchen layouts and are often combined with built-in ovens or hob units.

Helpful Tip While Buying a Built-In Microwave

Ensure your kitchen has proper ventilation or a duct provision where the built-in microwave is to be installed. Poor ventilation can reduce appliance life and performance.

Things To Consider While Buying A Built-In Microwave

  • Power & Indian Cooking Functions

    Standard built-in microwaves are 60cm wide. Ensure it fits into your modular cabinet cutout and that the depth aligns with the appliance specs.
