Built-In
Built In appliances can be integrated or built into your cabinetry. These appliances fit under the counter or into a cabinet and cannot be used as a freestanding appliance because it has an open or exposed back. Many offer custom overlay panels so they can fully match your cabinetry.

Freestanding
Freestanding appliances can be moved around and placed in any area where you need the appliance. Freestanding models can be positioned beneath island countertops, with proper venting on the backs and sides of the unit if necessary. Freestanding models with front vents typically don't require clearance for ventilation, while rear venting models need proper spacing for airflow.
