What is a built-in microwave with a trim kit?

A built-in microwave with a trim kit is designed to be installed into your kitchen cabinetry for a seamless look. The trim kit frames the microwave, allowing it to sit flush with your cabinets, saving valuable counter space and creating a sleek, integrated appearance. This option is ideal for permanent installations. For other placement ideas, explore options like an over the range microwave, over the counter microwave, or a wall oven microwave combo.

How do I choose the right size for a built-in microwave?

When selecting a built-in microwave with a trim kit, measure the available cabinet space carefully. Common widths include 24 inches, but options range from less than 22 inches to over 25 inches. Also, check the internal capacity—larger models offer over 2.2 cu ft of cooking space, while compact models have less than 1 cu ft. Consider the dishes you use most often and review our Microwave Buying Guide for more tips.

Are built-in microwaves with trim kits suitable if I plan to move soon?

Built-in microwaves with trim kits are designed for permanent installation. If you anticipate moving or may want to relocate your microwave in the future, you might prefer a different style, such as a countertop, over the range, or over the counter microwave.

What features should I look for in a built-in microwave?

When shopping for a built-in microwave, consider features such as sensor cooking, convection settings, and capacity. For more details on important features and how they affect your kitchen experience, visit our Microwave Buying Guide.

Built-In Microwaves with Trim Kits

Built-in microwaves with trim kits are a great way to optimize your kitchen. These models are designed to be installed into a recess in your kitchen cabinetry rather than taking up meal prep space as countertop microwave ovens do. If you like the idea of getting your microwave off the counter but don't have cabinet space to spare there are other options. You may want to consider an over the range microwave, an over the counter microwave, or even a wall oven microwave combo.

The trim kit used for this style of built-in microwave frames the units, allowing it to sit flush with the existing cabinets. As a result, the microwave seamlessly blends into your kitchen. Built-in microwave ovens with trim kits are designed to be permanently installed in your kitchen. So if you're planning on taking your microwave with you on an upcoming move, you may want to consider a different style.
