The 3 places you should never place a microwave in your kitchen, according to experts

Where should a microwave go in the kitchen.

You’ve done all the research, purchased one of the best microwaves on the market, but now you need to figure out the perfect place for it in your kitchen.

And if you're opting for a built-in microwave, you need to consider the location of your microwave both in your overall layout and in the context of your other built-in appliances.
