Can this microwave be installed on the underside of a cabinet?

Yes. You can get an optional kit to mount this under a counter. You would probably save money by buying a microwave designed for this purpose already.

I suppose you could but I think it's meant to be against a wall. If it were sitting in the middle of a kitchen and you were trying to be able to access it from both sides I think it would be a little awkward to reach through from what is supposed to be the "back". I guess it could work in the right kitchen though. We use it against a wall to hold our major appliances and our recycling bins at the bottom. We have the cutting board flipped with the grove facing down so that we can place our microwave on the flat side of the board. Hope this helps.

I know of no reason why it couldn't be mounted under a cabinet, provided you have ample clearance, or even inside a cabinet or pantry door. IT is a sturdy piece of hardware.

No... We purchased this one becuase you can mount under cabinet with bracket kit and save counter space....

No. The antenna would interfere, and being in the cabinet you may have RF issues. I am also not sure if it would fit dimensionally.

You shouldn't install it in a cabinet. It puts off a lot of heat at the back of the unit which can cause a fire. It needs to be on a counter or something in an open air environment

I guess it would depend on the weight and depth of the microwave. It holds my large stereo receiver which weighs approximately 28 lbs. To be safe I'd place it over one of the vertical supports. It's a nice cabinet for the price.

I dont' know if I understand your question correctly but no, you cannot mount it under the cabinet because the shelf would the be facing down. You would have to mount it to the wall to have a shelf under the cabinet. Hope this helps

There is a "trim kit" for mounting it in an enclosed space in kitchen cabinets, but this a facade. This microwave is a tabletop model which can be trimmed into a cabinet, but it is not designed to be "mounted" anywhere. Look elsewhere for a microwave made for that purpose.

When using this microwave -- and probably any microwave -- inside a wood cabinet, there is a concern over getting rid off all the heat being generated so that the cabinet is not hurt, burned, etc. So for this kind of install, Panasonic offers a special built-in trim kit designed specifically for this model microwave and is sold on Amazon (I bought one for a 30" wide cabinet). One part of the kit puts covers over the standard back and bottom vents and forces the air out front. The other part of the kit is a nice cover plate that goes around the microwave (anchoring to the wood cabinet, not the microwave) to hide these new vents. The vent part adds to the microwave height so that it now needs an 18" opening -- I will be shaving about 1/4" of the microwaves rubber legs to allow me to use just a slightly smaller opening and to get the frame to fit on my cabinet just right.

You have to hve the space and a door to cover it. I have two custom cabinets next to the microwave with about 5 in gap and 40 in tall, so this fits perfect. Although it was apain to install as there is no much room to work with it.Raul

It works better to put if you put the microwave in a cabinet and use trim kit to finish the front. It will produce a custom look

Yes. It can be mounted under the cabinet or on wall. Make sure it is mounted securely or it will drupe. The mounting bracket is not very wide to give more stability. But, overall is very nice.

Should be OK if you mount it close to the front edge of the cabinet bottom.

Yes, but not under the cabinet, I have mine placed to the side where I have easy access for inserting the pod, however it slides easy if you don't have the cabinet space it's perfect for small kitchens and limited space

In theory you could mount it anywhere with the right hardware. It only comes with two screws, and there's two holes in the flat round base. I would think a handy person could mount it under a cabinet after a trip to Home Depot for the right hardware.

yes ,i made my own apparatus..i used wood to make underside of cabinet level;then i used perforated angle iron on either side to suspend. sheet metal screws were used to attach the "angle iron" to the top of the side panel of the microwave .(sheet metal screws were short an did not interfere with the wave's internal parts -no parts at top.futhermore, there are mounting kits available.the reason why i chose this way because i wanted the smallest wave primarily to heat up items,and it being suspended in corner above countertop freed up counter and provided some space under this installation.hpoe this helps with your inquiry.
