Need Help Finding Under Cabinet Microwave
Hi - Newbie here. I'm looking for a 1000w (or slightly smaller) microwave that can be mounted under the cabinet above my sink. I'd appreciate your recommendations / suggestions.

PDX,
How creative are you??
Let me tell you what I did (twice).
First, I had to re-enforce the cabinet as it was made before microwaves were tiny and the thought never occurred to builder.
Then, I made some long hangers that screwed into the cabinet bottom and then into the feet holes of the microwave. They worked, but it was a bear to hang the **** thing back up.
Next and still, I got some aluminum angle (like 1/2*1) and cut that microwave or cabinet long (forget which, but the longer) and driller the case of the microwave (dismounted) for the sides and also upsized the screws in the case sides because they were not planned to hold the whole weight. I can almost put it up alone.
