Types of Microwave – Built in Microwaves

The built-in microwave oven offers a designer look to your kitchen. Installed into units or other spaces, these microwaves look very smart and much less conspicuous than their freestanding counterparts. It also means work tops are freed up, giving you extra cooking space. Built-in microwaves look stylish and give a contemporary feel to any kitchen. Because they blend in, they will really add to the look of your fitted kitchen.

Built-in microwave models can be either the more traditional straight forward type, just offering microwave cooking, or they can come complete with a grill function. You can also buy in-built combination microwave ovens, which allow you to microwave, grill or cook food using a convection oven function. Whichever type of in-built microwave oven you choose, you can be assured of fast and convenient cooking, saving you both time and energy.

Built-in microwaves need to be installed into free space in your fitted kitchen and have trim kits, which may be supplied with the microwave, or may have to be bought separately depending on the online retailer or manufacturer. This is something to keep in mind when looking to purchase a built-in model.

There are many models of in-built microwave on the market, and they differ in size, style and price. You may wish to choose a brand, which matches other appliances you have in your kitchen or you might want to base your decision on the features included.

· AEG

· Bosch

· Hotpoint

· Miele

· Neff

· Siemens

· Smeg
