​Microwaves come in all shapes and sizes and unless you are planning to have your microwave wall mounted or mounted into a kitchen unit, it will take up counter space. If you have a small kitchen, space will be a consideration and you will want to conserve as much of it as possible in order to make sure that you have enough free workspace to allow you to move around your kitchen, chop, cook, prepare and serve food and accommodate other gadgets.
