Tennentslager Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Can anyone help with finding a microwave to fit in this Howdens space? Dimensions are cabinet 590x455 internal and the existing Lamona unit is 480x255. As you can see there is a snap on trim. Can't source the doors anywhere, glendevon oak, discontinued. Ditto Lamona ovens...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Can't help other than to say I hate "built in" microwaves because they are all just a bodge fitting of a free standing MW and a surround trim. Why does nobody make a proper built in microwave, built to standard built in oven dimensions to be built in properly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jml Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 (edited) We have full size fitted neff microwave in our kitchen, approx those dimensions, does not have rotating centre though only slatted shelf Edited October 4, 2017 by Jml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliG Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 (edited) It's not the one with the black sides, but here is a stainless steel Lamona trim http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Integrated-Microwave-Frame-Kit-Lamona-/142519546723 As an aside to @ProDave's question, Siemens now do full size ovens with a built in microwave, we have gone for two of these rather than a full size oven and smaller microwave. They aren't cheap though! Luckily our kitchen supplier had some of last year's model at a much lower price. http://www.cameokitchens.co.uk/product.php/21774/siemens_hm678g4s6b Edited October 4, 2017 by AliG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterW Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Ikea one will fit - 5 year warranty on these and my last one was very good http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/products/appliances/microwave-ovens-microwave-combi-ovens/mirakulös-microwave-oven-art-30307452/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
le-cerveau Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 @ProDave Gaggenau do build in Microwaves the BM450/480 series and the MBP 250 series, though they are horrendously expensive as i know as we are having Gaggenau ovens, only people who do side opening!

Temp Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Checked our Neff but it looks like it's 593mm wide to fit a 600mm ID opening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferdinand Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 (edited) @Tennentslager I think this should be relatively straightforward, but there needs to be a little careful research. 3 hours ago, Tennentslager said: Dimensions are cabinet 590x455 internal and the existing Lamona unit is 480x255. I think that 590x455 is a standard (plus or minus a few mm) size - my built in microwave with a warming draw beneath is in exactly such a hole. And minor adjustments (say +10mm in height or -5mm each side in width should be allowable for (eg trim the wooden top panel and paint the edge or fix a couple of strips of dark timber down the edges). So 1 - My previous setup was microwave mounted on rail kit on the shelf with cosmetic alu or stainless surround panel. I found one sufficiently the right size to fit the existing panel and even the mounts by taking some measurements and taking the surround panel and a tape measure into my local Curry's and measuring all the freestanding microwaves until I found an acceptable one that fitted closely enough. I might have had to move one mounting rail 10mm but that was about it. 2 - Equally you may find that if you talk to the shop or manufacturer they may well have panels to fit all of their built-in microwaves that match your standard size hole for £10 or £25. 3 - It is quite fruitful putting "built-in microwave 590mm 455mm" into Google. 4 - Some of the bigger online sites have filters for different values of height and width. eg Appliance World Direct http://www.appliance-world.co.uk/microwaves?sort=na&perpage=12&price_slider=£68+-+£13439&opt[]=22_3858&opt[]=23_3859 My local superstore does not offer this filter but just their microwave page suggests at least 2 or 3 close to your requirements from the first page of results. https://www.appliancesdirect.co.uk/st/integrated-microwave-ovens So you have several options.

Ferdinand Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 (edited) As an alternative, my microwave has now come out onto the worktop, and the hole is being turned into a 600x600 worktop space using a single porcelain mottled-grey big floor tile trimmed on one side. Seems to work OK, and will have painted MDF liner inserted. Edited October 4, 2017 by Ferdinand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliG Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 (edited) Totally misread it, I thought you had somehow lost the trim. This appears to fit http://ao.com/product/uim600-newworld-microwave-stainless-steel-26817-50.aspx Also in order of price, the last one is a Bosch combi which is nice but more expensive. http://www.cameokitchens.co.uk/product.php/24061/aeg_mbe2658sb http://www.cameokitchens.co.uk/product.php/24062/aeg_mbe2658sm http://www.cameokitchens.co.uk/product.php/24059/aeg_mbe2658dm http://www.cameokitchens.co.uk/product.php/21603/bosch_hbc84h501b Edited October 4, 2017 by AliG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryder72 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 That appears to be a slot for a 450mm compact oven. Within reason it should be a straight swap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tennentslager Posted October 4, 2017 Author Share Posted October 4, 2017 Thank you all...sent this all to my sister to let her make a decision, I'll be the one with the screwdriver once the new unit is delivered.
