What cavity size and wattage should you choose for your household needs?

Cavity sizes on offer range from around 17 litres for compact models up to 53 litres for the largest built-in units, and power is typically 700–1000W. For one or two people, a 17–21L cavity with 700–800W (for example Prima mini models) is economical and space-saving; families who cook larger dishes should look at 25L+ cavities and 900–1000W for quicker, even cooking. If you want to bake or roast, favour bigger cavities and higher wattage to avoid crowding and uneven results.

What's the difference between a plain microwave, a microwave & grill, and a combination microwave, and which is best for you?––

A plain microwave reheats and defrosts quickly, while a microwave & grill adds a high-heat element for browning and toasting, useful for cheese toppings and crisping. A combination microwave adds convection heat as well, so you can roast or bake as you would in a small oven; models such as the Bosch Series 4 CMA583MS0B or Electrolux EVLDE46X show how you can get true oven-style cooking at the same installation size. If you mainly reheat and defrost, a plain unit or 700–800W mini will do; if you want to replace some oven tasks, opt for a 900–1000W combination with a larger cavity.

How do I make sure the built-in microwave will fit my kitchen unit?

Common built-in widths are around 594–596mm to slot into a standard 600mm cabinet, while heights vary from compact 371–390mm up to 455–459mm for taller units. Measure your cabinet width, height and depth and compare with the product dimensions shown—many models list precise widths (594/595/596mm) and depths like 316–404mm. If you're replacing an existing appliance, match those dimensions; if fitting into a bespoke tall housing, a compact 382–388mm high model may work better.

Are built-in microwaves with no turntable better for rectangular dishes and general practicality?

Some built-in microwaves are listed with “N/A” for turntable diameter, which usually means a flatbed design that gives you a full, usable cavity without a rotating plate. Flatbeds make it easier to fit square baking dishes and plates without the wobble of a turntable, and they’re easier to keep clean. If you often warm up casserole dishes or want consistent grilling across a tray, a flatbed or larger turntable (e.g. 315–360mm) is a practical choice.

Which finish and style should you choose to blend with your kitchen and make cleaning easier?

Finishes on offer include stainless steel, black, and graphite trims; stainless steel blends well with matching ovens and is resilient to heat, while black or graphite creates a seamless, integrated look if you prefer a darker scheme. If you want a minimalist, integrated aesthetic choose black or black with graphite trim as seen on several Neff and Bosch models; for a traditional stainless look, choose stainless steel models from AEG or Hotpoint. Consider also control type and handle style shown on product images, because smooth, recessed controls are generally easier to wipe down.

Built-In Microwaves

With so many appliances on the market, it can be easy for your countertops to become cluttered. One easy way to free up space is investing in a built in microwave. Indeed, rather than sacrificing space on your counter, you can have a microwave installed into your kitchen units, creating a minimalistic, integrated look. These microwaves can either be stand-alone or combination, meaning that the model also includes grill and convection heating settings. Simply put, a built in microwave is stylish and efficient, saving you time and space. So what are you waiting for? Check out the full range of built in microwaves below!
