Repair or replace?

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.

For sure swapping it out isn’t something I would do st this point in my life.

I would prefer to have a dedicated range hood fan, but space did not allow. My over range microwave has a pretty powerful fan that is vented to the outside.

In an island. (Peninsula, I guess)

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…

I’ll take a brain tumor before that…

Built ins may look small from the outside, but they are awkward, heavy, and always have sharp edges when you remove them. My last go at a swap out was 2016. Never again.

I might have done it myself 20 years ago. Not now.
