Sharp MW drawers, by the time you add in protection plan and tax, kill $1,000. Then you must have a dedicated cabinet, another $350-500. You also need a dedicated electrical circuit (any MW). And you need to have the MW installed.
Many people want a MW but not on the countertop (kills about 4 SF of counter, about $200-400).
Under a countertop a MW drawer functions better than a regular MW.
Over the range MW to me is not safe especially if the range is on.
Best locations to me:
1) if you have a wall oven, install built in MW above it (single oven). You use the same cabinet as the wall oven. MW and trim kit cost more than countertop model but less than MW drawer.
2) use an over the counter MW. Similar in concept to an OTR MW but no vent function. Attach primarily to wall but need a cabinet above for a typical install. MW I self runs close to $400.
