Comparison: Best Built In Microwave For 600Mm Wall Unit (Updated | Dec 8th)

A 24‑inch built‑in microwave is the closest standard width to a 600 mm opening, leaving a small clearance for trim kits. Models such as the AAOBOSI 24‑inch, Frigidaire Gallery 24‑inch, and KoolMore 24‑inch all list a width around 24 in (≈610 mm). Check the exact cut‑out dimensions in the specs to ensure the unit will fit without trimming.

Capacity ranges from 0.9 cu ft (Summit 24‑in OTG) up to 2.2 cu ft (Frigidaire Gallery and Summit 30‑in), affecting how many dishes you can heat at once. If you regularly cook large casseroles or multiple plates, a 2.0 cu ft+ model offers more flexibility. Smaller capacities are fine for reheating leftovers or single‑serve meals and often come at a lower price.

The AAOBOSI 24‑inch and KoolMore 24‑inch units combine microwave with convection and air‑fry capabilities, providing baked, roasted, and fried results without a separate appliance. These hybrid models usually cost $100‑$200 more than basic microwaves but can replace a countertop oven, saving counter space. If you value versatile cooking and plan to use baked or fried recipes frequently, the added functions are a good investment.

Drawer microwaves like the ThermoMate 1.2 cu ft offer ergonomic pull‑out access, keeping the countertop clear and reducing the need to bend. They typically have lower wattage (around 1000 W) and smaller capacity, which may limit large‑dish cooking. Traditional built‑ins provide higher power (up to 1200 W) and larger interiors, but require a hinged door and can obstruct the cabinet space when opened.

Sensor cook technology, featured on Frigidaire Gallery, Frigidaire PMBS3080 series, and AAOBOSI, automatically adjusts time and power for common foods, reducing guesswork. Preset programs for popcorn, pizza, beverages, and defrost speed up routine tasks and improve consistency. For busy households, these features add convenience and can improve cooking results without manual calculations.

The Frigidaire PMBS3080A and PMBS3080BF deliver 1100‑1200 W with 2.2 cu ft capacity at a competitive price point, making them strong value choices. The COSMO Haven models offer 1000‑1100 W and similar capacity but are often priced slightly higher for the brand name. If power and capacity are top priorities, the Frigidaire options give the most wattage per dollar.

Stainless‑steel interiors, like those on the AAOBOSI and KoolMore units, resist stains and are easy to wipe clean, while the Summit models use a smooth white enamel that also wipes well but may show food splatter more. Removable turntables and ceramic trays on several models simplify cleaning of spills. Look for a “scratch‑resistant” coating if you plan to use metal cookware inside the microwave.

Trim kits are sold separately for many models (e.g., Frigidaire Gallery and Summit 30‑in) and are essential for a seamless cabinet finish. Verify the cut‑out dimensions listed in the specs against your cabinet opening; a few millimeters of clearance are normal for mounting hardware. If you lack DIY experience, factor in professional installation costs, especially for units with larger depth or unique door mechanisms.
