Built in microwaves install directly into kitchen cabinetry, freeing up valuable benchtop space. Standard cavity widths measure 56-60cm to fit conventional cabinet openings, whilst compact models at 45cm suit smaller kitchens. Height specifications typically range from 38-45cm, with depth requirements between 35-40cm including ventilation clearance.
Dimension guidelines:
60cm width: Standard size, 25-35 litre capacity, family households
56cm width: Compact alternative, 20-28 litre capacity, space-efficient
45cm width: Slim models, 18-22 litre capacity, single or couple use
Cavity depth: 30-35cm internal depth accommodates standard dinner plates
Inverter technology delivers consistent power throughout cooking, maintaining steady heat levels rather than cycling on and off. This produces better results for delicate foods like eggs, sauces and even defrosting. Auto-cook programmes eliminate guesswork with preset functions for common dishes.
Control type: Touch controls versus dial operation, LCD displays
Turntable diameter: 27-34cm affects plate size compatibility
Interior lighting: Halogen or LED for visibility during cooking
Door opening: Left-hinged, right-hinged or drop-down configurations
Multi-stage cooking: Programme sequential power levels and times
Sensor cooking: Automatically adjusts time based on steam detection
Child locks prevent accidental operation in households with young children. Quick-start functions begin heating at full power with single button press. Our microwave buying guide compares features across different price points.
Built in microwave ovens typically operate between 800-1200 watts, with higher wattage reducing cooking times. Standard 1000W models suit most household needs, whilst 1200W+ units handle larger quantities and tougher ingredients more efficiently. Power levels usually adjust in 10% increments from 10-100% for precise temperature control.
Wattage comparison:
800-900W: Entry-level, adequate for reheating and defrosting
1000W: Standard household power, balanced performance
1100-1200W: Premium models, faster cooking, better browning capability
Grill elements ranging from 1000-1500W provide browning and crisping functions. Microwave convection ovens combine microwave heating with fan-forced convection up to 220°C for roasting and baking. Variable power settings allow low-power gentle warming or high-power rapid heating depending on food type.
In built microwaves save bench space by installing flush with cabinetry, creating streamlined kitchen designs. Countertop microwaves offer portability and simpler installation without carpentry requirements. Built-in models cost more initially due to installation complexity and premium finishes matching cabinet aesthetics.
Installation: Built-in requires professional fitting versus plug-and-play countertop
Ventilation: Integrated models need proper clearance, countertop units ventilate freely
Design integration: Built-in creates cohesive look, countertop sits as separate appliance
Replacement flexibility: Countertop models easily upgraded, built-in restricted by cavity size
Price range: Built-in $500-$3000+, countertop $150-$800
Built-in microwave ovens combine microwave and convection functions in single cavity installations. Check current microwave deals for both installation types.
Fisher & Paykel: New Zealand design, competitively priced, good warranty support
Westinghouse: Australian-trusted brand, accessible pricing, wide availability
Miele: Premium build quality, commercial-grade components, 2-year warranty standard
ASKO: Durable construction, energy-efficient operation, Scandinavian design philosophy
Miele manufactures premium built in microwaves with German engineering and extended warranties. ASKO produces Scandinavian-designed models with minimalist aesthetics. Smeg offers Italian styling with retro and contemporary microwave options.
Inverter technology availability varies by brand and model. Our convection vs conventional microwave guide explains technology differences across manufacturers.
Built in microwave ovens feature removable turntables and racks that wash in sinks or dishwashers. Stainless steel interiors wipe clean more easily than painted cavities, resisting staining from splatters. Steam-clean functions available in select models loosen food residue through moisture before manual wiping.
Cleaning recommendations:
Daily: Wipe interior after use with damp cloth
Weekly: Remove and wash turntable, clean door seals
Monthly: Steam-clean cycle or manual deep clean with microwave-safe cleaner
Door glass: Clean both sides to maintain visibility
Child safety locks disable controls preventing accidental activation by young children. Automatic shut-off functions stop operation if door opens during cooking cycle. Overheating protection sensors cut power when internal temperatures exceed safe operating levels.
Door interlock systems: Three-point safety latches prevent operation with open door
Cool-touch exteriors: Insulated cabinets reduce burn risks
Ventilation sensors: Monitor airflow to prevent component damage
Auto-shutdown: Deactivates after preset time if no buttons pressed
Thermal fuses protect electrical components from power surges. Built-in models require professional installation ensuring proper earthing and ventilation clearances per manufacturer specifications. Safety certification marks confirm compliance with Australian electrical standards.
Built in microwaves consume less energy than conventional ovens for small portion cooking and reheating tasks. Energy ratings range from 1-6 stars, with higher ratings indicating better efficiency per cooking cycle. Inverter models operate more efficiently than conventional magnetron systems by maintaining consistent power delivery.
Combination microwave convection ovens use more power during convection mode but reduce overall cooking times. Eco modes on select models disable displays when not in use, reducing standby power consumption. Try Panasonic convection microwave oven recipes for energy-efficient cooking ideas.

Whether you’re jumping into a full kitchen renovation or upgrading your appliances for a mini kitchen makeover, there’s no doubt you’ve pondered the big questions: What are the best kitchen appliances? And, if I pay more for high-end kitchen appliances, do I really get more in terms of features and functionality?
As a kitchen appliances expert, I’m constantly asked these questions because people want to buy once, and buy well – particularly when it comes to big-ticket items that will keep their household running smoothly.
So, here’s my top tip. When planning your kitchen reno budget, prioritise your dream kitchen appliances. Put them at the top of your list. And keep in mind that your family’s dream appliance doesn’t necessarily have to be a high-end purchase. You might be pleasantly surprised at the price tag.
If there are features you want (cue the jet-drying dishwasher, double wall oven and custom fridge), work them into the budget at the planning stage. Life is too short for regrets. Plus, if you love these appliances, so will future buyers when and if the time comes to put your home on the market.
