Its funny how during my kitchen remodel options like this were starting to drive me crazy. Now.... I'm glad its done. I put a bosch wall oven under the counter. Love the thing, use it most days and cant think of a better unit. I didnt want to take up the counter space and also didnt want to be locked into a built in so its oven on the bottom, counter then a microwave on a shelf. Cheap microwave that works great, I might use it every other day if that.
Range hood moves way more air than a microwave, if you dont cook much or mostly simmer a microwave should/could work fine. Try to exhaust out rather than just recycle. The only difference I see in microwave models are the $$ versions that are a microwave and oven/toaster oven. Seems like a gimmick to me but I have no experience.
