10 Best Built-In Microwaves to Seamlessly Integrate into Your Kitchen

If you’re in the market for something that uses up-to-date smart technology and has an overall innovative design then you may want to consider the Whirlpool W11IMS180.
The ability to control it via your smart device will really appeal to anyone who has fully immersed themselves into the smart control world. From your lights to your heating, your home is probably already packed with gadgets. This microwave will help you out with dinner, too.
One feature we love about this smart ability even more than the easy control is that it enables you to download recipes directly to your microwave from the 6th Sense Live app on your phone. You can then follow them from the SmartDisplay, or just press a start button if it involves the microwave – all of the settings will be there automatically.
A powerful output and steam, boil and crisp functions round it off. The price may be on the high side, but when you take into account everything it does and the fact that you get a huge capacity and it is built in, it is actually great value for money.
