What are the differences between an over the range microwave and a built-in microwave?

What are the differences between a built-in microwave and an over-the-range microwave?

A built-in microwave is installed into a cabinet or wall, while an over-the-range microwave is mounted above a stove. Built-in microwaves are typically more expensive and require professional installation, while over-the-range microwaves are more affordable and easier to install. Built-in microwaves offer a sleeker look and save counter space, while over-the-range microwaves provide ventilation for the stove below.
