Might look strange. And the micro would have to be too high. And would be annoying for someone to use while another is doing dishes.

One reason not to would be if you have some people in your family who are vertically challenged and it may be a safety hazard for them to get items out of it at that height. (I'm 5'1", and I like my microwave at my chest height.) I don't cook so I use the microwave daily to heat up frozen dinners. Also at breakfast and lunch for my tea. Can you put it in a drawer below the counter? I've seen that done.

I would think it would interfere with working at the sink? It has to be low enough to be convenient, but then you would be hitting it no matter how reasonably high it is. Would you be able to place on a portable island or install under the counter?
