Intergrated or built in microwave. Which?

    I'm in the process of buying equipement for my new kitchen. So far I've decided to go with the Neff U15M52N3GB Oven and the Neff T40B30X2 Hob. A Neff microwave would be out of the question as it's way to expensive. I'll be using my exsisting Hotpoint dishwasher.

    What is the difference between an intergrated and a built in microwave and what are the advantages/disadvantages of both?

    John Lewis describes them this way: 'Built-in / integrated These are fixed in, with the correct ventilation. An integrated appliance is fully or partially concealed behind a door panel and within a carcass; a built-in appliance can be seen, though it has unfinished sides and would topple over if left freestanding.'
    But I'm really none the wiser as to which would be best.

    Anyone throw light on the topic?

    As always many thanks for your answers

    Kevin

    People just call a" built in" microwave an"integrated microwave"--they are the same thing.So they are on view like an oven.Usually placed over a double or single oven-they would be suited for a 600mm cabinet.

    John lewis is describing an integrated APPLIANCE.These are dishwashers,washing machines or fridges which have cabinet doors fitted on to the front of them to conceal them.
