They typically come in a variety of power capacities as well as finishes and features and also a variety of color options to match your kitchen's decor. They don't need installation or mounting, so you can take them with you if you ever relocate.

Certain models come with Keep Warm features that keeps food warm and ready to be eaten for up to sixty minutes. This makes them ideal for entertaining or everyday use.
Size can be a major factor when choosing a countertop microwavr. While the standard kitchen counters have a depth of 25 1/2" and the maximum countertop space for a countertop microwave is 16".

Installing a microwave inside the drawer is a great idea when you're in an awkward situation and require immediate access to a microwave, but have limited counter space. This will allow you to save counter space, and then put away the appliance when it's not in use, and still have plenty of kitchen storage. It's also a great choice for small spaces and apartment kitchens, as well as dorm rooms and rec rooms where countertop space is at a premium.
Another way to free up your countertop is to install an integrated microwave.

Drawer
Microwave drawers provide an elegant and modern look to the kitchen, with seamless integration into cabinets that maximizes the space in your kitchen.

Unlike traditional microwave ovens that require counter space, these models are able to slide out of cabinets and open with the press of a button, leaving your countertops open for workspace, decor items, or any other task.
While you may still need to clear off the countertop to lower dishes into the microwave, this kind of appliance will not require the clearance that an over-the-counter or built-in model needs to operate. The sliding design also eliminates the need for turntables, saving even more countertop space. This allows you to make use of large rectangular casserole dishes or oblong containers that would not fit on the traditional turntable.
The appliances are set at an accessible height and provide a more ergonomic experience for people of all ages and abilities. They make it easier to place and retrieve dishes, thus reducing the risk of spills and overheating. These units also give you better visibility of the cooking area which reduces frustration during meal preparation.
Like other kinds of integrated microwaves, the decision of whether or not this is a good choice depends on your specific circumstances. A drawer microwave is a great option for modern kitchens if you need more countertop space, enjoy the ergonomic accessibility and want advanced cooking features, such as sensor or convection. This option is not for you if you are content with your countertop but prefer a minimalist look.
Over the Range
Microwavables that are over the range are positioned over cooktops or stoves to reduce counter space and create a sleek, built-in appearance. These kitchen appliances can be used as hood or range vents to eliminate smoke, steam and cooking smells. These appliances also feature overhead lighting that can be used to light cooking and food preparation tasks. Smart microwaves that are over the range can sync up with your LG oven, and can connect to ThinQ to provide a seamless experience.

Certain models include charcoal filters that cut down on the smells and fumes. Some models have vents that can be changed from exhaust venting to the recirculation mode according to the cooking requirements of your.

This is particularly true if you are using your microwave to heat frozen food items or to reheat dishes because they are located close to where you work. The act of reaching over a hot cooktop or stove for the microwave on your countertop can be dangerous, especially in the event that you're not careful.
