I think builders are into aesthetics, maxing out counter space, and avoiding over the stove microwaves when they can. You can only vent so much with the over the stove microwaves with the built in hood fans. Lot of people prefer a dedicated fan over their stoves. They suck better lol

Yes. The microwave vents are next to useless.

When we remodeled the kitchen in our house (1986) our cooktop was on an island. We didn't want an overhead vent coming down over it, so the contractor (who was great) installed a vent that would rise up behind the burners and vent down the back of the island, into a vent under the floorboards, and out into the back yard.
Ours only rose about 8 inches, iirc and didn't have lighting. Worked well, though.

No stooping required. It’s a drawer. If it were a normal microwave installed under the counter that would be different.
I don’t mind it at all. I was worried it would cook unevenly since there’s no turntable but they seem to have figured that out. I’ve had a cheap microwave on my counter since this broke 12/24 and I want my counter space back

Jon, I think what’s key for you given the tight space in that corner is the installer. He/she needs to get that thing out and a new one in without wrecking anything. If it were me, I wouldn’t be ordering online. I’d be going to whatever appliance center builders send clients to in your area, with that picture in hand, and seeking out who they recommend.

I’m much more comfortable having a device emit microwave radiation right at the height of head as opposed to emitting radiation at the height of your unit…

@LuFins-Dad aren't you done with those organs?
(that's what I used to say when we used x-ray in the OR and I was offered a lead gown)

I’ll take a brain tumor before that…
