Countertop and over-the-range microwave dimensions, with verified specs for five current models.
Microwave sizing depends heavily on whether the unit is countertop or over-the-range. Over-the-range models are built to standard 30-inch-wide cabinet spans and usually measure just under 30 inches wide, around 16 inches tall, and 15 to 16 inches deep excluding the handle. Countertop models are smaller and vary more.
The over-the-range catalog entries are the LG LMV1764ST, the GE Appliances JVM3160RFSS, and the GE JVM7195SKSS. The JVM3160RFSS has a door-open depth of 39 inches, while the JVM7195SKSS is 39.125 inches.
Countertop models in the dataset include the GE Appliances JES1072SHSS at 17.3125 by 10.1875 by 12.75 inches and the GE Appliances JES1095SMSS at 19 by 11.5 by 14.5 inches. The JES1095SMSS door-open depth is 25.625 inches.
Capacity ranges from 0.7 cu. ft. to 1.9 cu. ft. All listed microwaves operate on 120V household circuits. Amperage ranges from 9.3A to 15A.
The 15A models, including the two over-the-range GE units, should be installed on a circuit that does not share other high-draw appliances. Over-the-range microwaves also require vertical clearance above the cooktop and an underside depth that fits the hood area; in this dataset that hood depth is represented by chassis depth, ranging from 15.5625 to 15.6875 inches.
