Integrated microwave with depth 30cm

Aaargh! Going round in circles. Need a wall cupboard sized integrated microwave (60w 30d) any height.
didn’t realise the inside would be smallish. Needs to fit 28cm plates on turntable.

does this exist?

does IKEA do one?

but you won't fit 28cm plates in a 30cm microwave because the walls & door are always at least 4cm thick.

I ordered special size wall units

I think 400mm deep

The suppliers call them "boiler cabinets" because in most cases you can't fit a standard wall unit round a boiler. If you have them in row, or next to a tower, people don't notice they are deeper.

You need to be sure the wall brackets, or preferably rail, are very strongly mounted

You can fit ordinary doors to the cabinet, usually you'd have a top-hinge one above the microwave.

I used to get them made in coloured or woodgrain board to match the kitchen, but my supplier won't deliver small orders outside his area now (is in Rochdale if that happens to be near you). There will be other companies.

Another option is to use a tower unit, and lose some worktop space. It can go above a standard oven.

Thanks both. I will look at the ikea website and see what the internals are

unfortunately it can’t go in my tower as my oven is a double already and it’s butting onto a corner unit, so can’t be deeper than 30cm ☹️

This is the kind of thing appliance-source.co.uk/cm120-microwave-with-grill
Suggest take one of your plates to an appliance showroom.
The microwaves will be about 320mm deep because the 20mm is the front panel which sits in front of the unit.
