They'll also be higher in the kitchen, which means they're harder to clean than freestanding microwaves.
Space
Integrated microwaves have become 'it-appliance' for modern kitchens. They offer many advantages over freestanding models. Built to seamlessly fit in upper cabinets, they keep countertops clear of clutter and free up worktop space for other appliances, such as blenders and mixers. Their compact size means they're ideal for smaller spaces and models with a low-profile cutouts make them more sleek. The interior space is different, but most models offer approximately 0.8 cubic feet. Choose a model that has smaller width to fit into smaller spaces.

Looks

If you're working on an extensive renovation or construction project, it may be possible to install an integrated microwave into the wall. This will give the appearance of a sleeker design. However, this can be an issue because you'll have cut into the structure of your home to put it in. This job is best left to a professional who will make sure your existing walls can support the weight of the unit. They can also provide any reinforcements that are required.
Another option is to set up a microwave with a drawer beneath the counter and access it by simply swiping your finger against the pull handle. This is a great option for kitchens with limited counter space. It's also the most cost-effective choice because you'll only have to pay for the installation and drawer. It also has the added benefit of immediately available landing space, which makes it easier to put food in and take it out of the oven, rather than having to reach over or under a countertop.
