[quote=Anonymous]Microwaves are the hardest thing to find room for in a kitchen reno. Especially if you don’t have a tall 24” deep cabinet. My Dh didn’t want ours in a lower cabinet because of the low height and it would have used up valuable lower cabinet real estate for our dishes and pans drawers, so so I took a 27” wide wall cabinet next to my fridge panel and changed the depth to 16” with an open shelf on the bottom to be able to place a countertop microwave in it.  I found a Sharp 1 cf microwave that had a depth of only 15”. I would have loved to use the 24” GE me that a pp posted, but the final width of my opening was exactly 24” wide and there would not have been any air flow around the microwave for proper functioning.

In hindsight I’m fine with it being in the upper cabinet although now that my kids are using it it’s just a little high for them right now. I opted not to add a door because we do use the microwave a lot, but do wish that I had installed the kind of door a pp had mention that hinges up to hide it.  The thing with tabletop microwaves that don’t come with a trim kit is that you have to carefully design the cabinet opening to fit the microwave or else you will have too much space above it, so concealing if with a door helps visually.
