Built-in microwave question

10 years ago

We're trying to decide whether to get a kitchenaid built-in microwave or a counter top style with a trim kit. We definitely like the look of the built-in style better but are wondering if it will be difficult for our children to use because of the pull down door on the built-in vs the side open door on the countertop one. Any advice on this?

Don't think it is difficult but my KA pull down door has broke 3 times in the last 10 years.
