could this unit be installed in a counter top instead of sitting on top?

you would have to cut a hole in your counter top, but not sure that would be the best thing to do

It has a built in fan which needs clearance on the sides and bottom so I don't think the manufacturer would recommend it.

I suppose it could be installed by making a well in the countertop and setting it in there.... there needs to room for a cooling fan to exhaust air from the lower rear of the burner

I don't think it would be a good idea. Although the possibility is there, this is more a portable unit. There cooling fan that needs to be able to cool. I have mine on a stainless steel work table. I could see more than one on a "cooking bar" depending on the size of your kitchen. Keep in mind I got mine to be able to take where I need it, out in the grill area, in the boat galley, camping etc.

Hmmm.... i guess it's possible. I had to build a 2x4 frame under mine to support, so you could just measure and make it even with countertop.

Not to my knowledge. This is a countertop microwave unit, but can be mounted in a cabinet, or on a shelf. There is a trim kit available for mounting in a cabinet.

Not sure. We bought it as a 1st otr installation to replace a countertop unit.

I wouldn't. The sink is with the counter top fabricator , but as I remember it is under mount only as there is no top lip.

The size is really better for a counter top. It would be quite low to sit on the floor.

I wouldn't. It needs air circulation around the back of the unit. Also, the thermostat is very fickle so you want good access to it. There are other units designed for under counter that could go into a closet.

No, there is nothing on this that would make it possible to be attached to anything. It is made to sit on the counter.

Nope...can sit topside or be installed under...comes with all hardware for both.

I would say it very much depends on your level of commitment to the project and abilities. As it arrives, probably not. I would also think some ventilation for the unit would be necessary as it does get warm when running. The height I doubt is standard for a counter, but anything is possible. With a little longer lines, relocating the tower on the top, and some ventilation for the compressor I'm sure it is possible, but not box ready to do so.

We installed ours into a wood ikea counter top in a "tiny tumbleweed" style home. It does get warm underneath so if you have a cabinet underneath don't store stuff within about 10" of the bottom of burner

yes, the unit can be installed under a counter, however the efficiency of the heater would be effected, not to mention the accumulation of heat under the counter. There are many other variables. The size of the room, how well the room is insulated, materials of the counter, just to name a few. To achieve the best results the unit should be in an area with the LEAST amount of obstructions as possible. l do not recommend installation under a counter. Stan R.

I used it with a vessel basin, but I would think it could be used in a countertop, too.

Not sure about a smaller one, unless you buy a Berkey unit....they have various sizes. If I were in a smaller apt....I'd have no problem finding a place on the counter top for it. But it's up to personal preference, I suppose.

It appears that the unit can be mounted. On the back of the base unit there are slots that can be mounted onto two "screws or nails" with large heads. The base unit then sits as if it was placed on a table in a normal position.

The bottom and center shelves don't have to be installed but the framework supporting the bottom shelf and providing stability would prevent a 17" square device from being placed under the unit. Something just a bit smaller should fit.

Thiss unit is not designed to be installed in a countertop, but is excellent for use on one.
