Alternative for an Ikea built-in microwave?

zebba

Does anyone know if there are any alternative brand microwaves to fit in a Ikea microwave cupboard?

The reason is that I don't really want Ikea to be displayed on the front. I know that Whirlpool make the Ikea ones but I can't seem to find one that will fit from the standard Whirlpool range.

I have looked around but the other makes all appear to be different sizes.

Any ideas?

Have you tried the DIY stores - focus, homebase, b&q, wickes etc? They sell kitchens, and the built in appliances, they may do microwaves - can a non- built in microwave fit in the cupboard? Argos should display dimensions in their catalogue.

Are the Ikea built in appliances a little bigger than standard (wouldn't surprise me as their beds are)?

We had a Hotpoint built-in single oven & microwave in one cupboard that has now been replaced by a Delonghi double oven instead. The overall unit size was the same.

If its the logo you are worried about, try nail varnish remover to take it off (if it's a transfer). It worked on getting Orange logos of mobile phone covers.

Hi,

when we bought our kitchen we found the prices of built in microwaves to be so much higher than the normal counterparts. After a bit of searching I found that Sharp make build in kits for most of their microwaves. So we bought a model we liked from Currys for about £120 (making sure the build in kit was available) and I then ordered the build in kit from the sharp web site. I think the kit was about £60.
