1. Are you able to do it? Certain. Will it look misplaced? Possible
2. I am unsure the airflow might be right. I am fairly positive a drawer microwave is completely different than an over the vary mannequin
Do what you need however I might recommend spending the cash to make use of a drawer microwave in a drawer microwave house. In the event you do not wish to spend the cash use an over the vary mannequin. Do not do a hybrid method.

I believe the over the vary microwaves wouldn’t have the venting to work in a cupboard.
Panasonic NN-SN76LS with individually offered trim equipment is what we did. The trim equipment additionally consists of vent baffles for venting by high and backside of trim piece.

Most in-built microwave are merely counter high fashions paired with a trim equipment. I’ve no fears about utilizing a over the range unit as a in-built. Any unit you can get a in-built trim equipment for ought to work high quality. However I additionally do not consider you must have any issues discovering a in-built unit (microwave and trim equipment) costing effectively lower than $1500.
My present dwelling has had 2 in-built models over our oven in 30+ years (possible want a third in close to future). They had been each merely counter high fashions with trim kits. Observe that we now have a 3+ inch drawer between oven and microwave, so direct radiant warmth isn’t a problem. Even convective warmth is blocked.

After which in two completely different AirBNB’s we now have used we discovered the very same microwave not becoming within the cupboard over the oven, so what we did is hardly distinctive.
The microwave is cheap, however hiring a cupboard maker / carpenter to make a customized matching match will value you $1500.

If I had a counter house various I would not hand over counter house to facilitate a built-in microwave oven.
The closest serving to hand is on the finish of your personal arm.

Re: Built in Microwave Ovens
When our built-in unit failed, that is what we discovered – and did.
We began on the lookout for fashions that include non-compulsory trim kits. IIRC we could not discover the precise dimension we would have liked – however we may get the correct mount to permit satisfactory air flow with a Microwave that match. Once more, IIRC we ended up getting customized made third celebration trim items (or had them custom-made??) – because the sizes had been simply barely off. Doubt only a few know this is not a specialised “built-in” Microwave. And we spent a fraction of your estimate on this (granted 5+ years in the past).

It’s the finest answer, if one is able to a fundamental easy set up. All of the built-ins simply have a trim equipment.

Sure, the house for our in-built microwave above our in-built oven is only a field opening within the cabinetry with a correctly sized electrical outlet within the again. There may be nothing that will stop any over the vary or counter high mannequin from getting used within the spot aside from dimension. Saying that although, you’ll after all be faces with aesthetical points which can or could not concern you. Our microwave got here with a trim equipment that matches the in-built over beneath so it basically appears to be like like a single double oven unit with the highest unit being smaller in dimension. With out the trim equipment, there could be gaps across the sides of the microwave to gather mud and cobwebs. The opposite factor I can see is that if the unit you purchase is shallower in depth, it would generally tend to slip in the direction of the again of the opening except you discover some strategy to fasten it to the cupboard. This may contain screwing down a brace behind the cupboard for the microwave to press towards. Doable however takes some planning.

Microwaves which have non-compulsory trim kits additionally usually have mounting kits. For ours, it is mainly a metallic shelf that elevates the unit to permit for correct air movement in addition to guaranteeing the microwave would not “slide” because it’s hooked up.
That will slender down the choices some, however there are nonetheless plenty of choices, and much lower than $1,500…
