Did anyone end up putting this Microwave on a raised shelf? If so, How did it work out?

I put mine on the countertop, so I can't say exactly. It is worth noting that I often hold onto the microwave with 1 hand while pulling the door open with the other hand because if I don't use 2 hands, the microwave moves around on the countertop. The fact that the microwave moves around so easily could be harder to manage if it was on a raised shelf.

Yes. We had ours in a raised box built to hold a microwave. No problems with that. We had to throw away the unit after two years however. The coating on the inside of the box cracked throughout and the exposed surface rusted badly. The warranty specifically excluded rust. We replaced the Frigidaire unit with a very nice Avanti MO7191TW. It's great and no rust. It's in the same box and the coating on the inside is solid.

You hook four fingers of your left palm on the door's hinge and keep your thumb on the edge of the side panel. Pull your fingers while holding the thumb.

Yes, it would. I leave mine on the countertop in a corner, and pull it out to use it. The top is not heavy when removing. The buttons on the heating element are: cook time, power, reheat, start and pause. It works well with pre-cooked frozen items as well, and unlike the microwave, you don't really have to stand over it. When the time is up, it dings, and shows "end". At that point, you can set it again or turn it off. Instead of leaning the top on the bracket to check things, I life the top off and set it on a dishtowel when checking the food, or when the timer ends. What I like about it is that things will "brown", unlike the microwave.

Yes I have a very heavy microwave on it now. I purchased this table for this purpose. The microwave does take up most of the top shelf.

I would recommend purchasing a microwave that is not meant to mounted above a stove & doesn't include an exhaust fan. That said, I'm sure if you didn't want to use the exhaust fan that it could be built in. Can't imagine why anyone would?

I would not put a microwave . Also it way to short unless you want it that height for kids.

Yes, that's what I did! I added a melamine shelf to the bottom (purchased from Home Depot) and used another narrow piece of melamine below that as a bracket, screwed into the studs of the wall. The hutch rests on the bracket and anchored screws hold it to the wall (you'll need two people for this installation). It's very sturdy and holds a microwave oven on the added shelf. I can send you a couple of pictures if you'd like to see the finished product.

Sure you can, the clearance seems to apply more to the sides while the top clearance seems to be more for circulation in an enclosed cabinet. Mine is mounted on the counter with several objects on top without an issue. By the way, this microwave is the Bomb, glad I bought it.

my microwave is not 2 feet from oven, in fact it is above in a built out cabinet space. it functions just fine. now, i don't use my conventional oven much and i have never used it at the same time as the microwave, but so far, i have had no problems with this microwave oven...i love it.

Hi Denise, I had this microwave installed a few months ago and it doesn't stick out at all. If you would like I can take a couple of pictures of the installed microwave (front and side) and post it to my twitter or something so you can see a good look. let me know. thanks

No! I thought you wanted to put microwave in cabinet. Open and closed shelves approximately 11" wide and 15" deep. Works nice as an island. Top is 19X26 1/2. No electrical connection either. Good luck.

I wouldn't do that, this unit is to heavy for that. Appliance stores sell a microwave that does go over the oven, but you're talking over $500.00.We purchased a corner cabinet that this microwave fits into, and by doing this we got a nice looking cabinet with above and below storage. Hope this helped.

21 and 1/8 by 15 and 3/8 so you are out of luck. Maybe you cannot tell by the photos but the edges of the shelves have to be installed on the top of the shelving. You cannot mount the shelves upside down. Someone suggested cutting a piece of wood to fit inside the shelf and then put the microwave on top of that piece of wood. Do you have access to someone who can cut wood? and it would have to be a fairly thick piece of wood to sit above the sides of the shelf: about 1 and 1/4 inches deep: maybe saw off pieces of a 2 x 4 to lay in a row across the shelf

I have 20 year old microwave that sits on mine. The microwave just fits. From looking at the other answers on this item it's between 12 1/2 inches to 13 inches from the base to the first shelf. Hope this helps!

The top shelf is 11 inches deep, 30 inches long so it could take a small microwave. I am also sure it is sturdy enough for a small microwave. Donna

I sent it back -it looks great -nice small size. I planed to mount it under the cabinet -but it didn't work right -didn't have enough power -I tried 2 of them , thinking I had just gotten a lemon the first time -but no -I wouldn't recommend buying this microwave -it doesn't work well -at all !!
