Our microwave is above the fridge and in my opinion it is dangerous.
The silly thing is that there is a cupboard under the fridge.
As a standard fit up why wouldnt they install the fridge on the floor then put the microwave above that.
In my case that would make the microwave about a foot lower than it is now.
The cupboard could then be above the microwave if required.

Our van microwave is at knee height below our griller. OK but hard to read dials.
I shifted our house microwave last week from above the wall oven onto the kitchen bench. After nearly 9 years we decided high was bad. We shuffled lots of things about and the hole where the microwave was in now full of cook books. Our fruit bowl now sits on the microwave so no real bench space lost.
