KitchenAid Microwaves: Over-the-Range and Built-In Models
KitchenAid microwaves include over-the-range models with air fry, a low-profile hood combination, a built-in microwave, a microwave drawer and a countertop model.
KitchenAid makes microwaves for almost every spot in the kitchen: over the range, built into a wall, in a drawer under the counter and on the countertop. Several models add convection and air fry, so the microwave can also work as a second oven.
This guide compares six KitchenAid microwaves using the details on each product page. For installation basics, read our guide to over-the-range microwaves, or browse all KitchenAid microwaves.

Which type fits your kitchen?
Over-the-range models free up counter space and vent the cooktop. A built-in microwave sits in a wall or tall cabinet, often above a wall oven. A microwave drawer sits below the counter, which keeps it within reach for kids and seated users. A countertop model needs no installation.
Do you need convection and air fry?
The KMHC319TSS, KMMF530PBE and KMBS727SPS list convection and air fry, so they can roast, bake and crisp as well as microwave. The KMHC319TSS is the only one of the three with a 1200-watt microwave rating. If you mostly reheat and defrost, a model without convection may be all you need.
What to check before you order
Check the installation guide on the product page before you buy.
- For over-the-range models: cabinet width, the space above the cooktop and the vent path.
- For built-in and drawer models: the cutout width, height and depth.
- A dedicated outlet where the microwave will go.
- For countertop models: counter depth and space around the vents.
