While "built-in" or integrated with another appliance, counter, or
cupboard seems attractive, it means more difficulty and expense if one
part should fail.

I just looked at the Sears site and didn't see anything like you
describe. A m'wave (except in the case of disasters) doesn't require
an exhaust system; an exhaust system over a regular stove would be a
poor place to mount heat- and contamination-sensitive electronics.
