Built-in microwave
Built-in microwaves mount underneath a cabinet or counter or above a stove range. Often these models are paired with an appliance set.
Mid-size built-in microwave models average 17-inches wide, 20.5-inches high, and 12-inches deep. They range in capacity to up to 2 cubic feet. Built-ins are best for the style-conscious shopper who is short on counter space.

Microwaves with sensors
Microwave sensors determine when the food is done automatically and turn the oven off, which prevents overcooking or undercooking the food and means there are fewer buttons for you to push. Also, sensors enable one-touch cooking for preprogrammed recipes or food-cook times. If you buy a microwave that includes sensors, you'll cook food more efficiently. Features like sensors and variable power settings can reduce cooking time even more.

Preprogrammed microwave - auto settings
Beyond standard auto settings such as Defrost, Cook, and Fresh Vegetables, many microwaves now include preprogrammed settings to cook food items such as popcorn (the microwave item most likely to burn), pizza, baked potatoes, frozen dinners, chicken breasts, soup, or sauce. Many models include settings for melt/soften or "add 30 seconds" for one-touch extra heating.
