But, in reality, finding the right size microwave depends on the amount of kitchen space you have and what microwave recipes you plan on cooking. In addition, you can opt for built-in or over-the-range microwaves if you want to save counter space but cannot do with a great compact microwave.
If you want a microwave stored in a cabinet, it must be designed to function correctly in an enclosed space. Countertop microwaves aren't meant for that purpose. An over-the-range microwave is a good way to save space and have adequate ventilation.
