Hi Andy - Approximate Product Dimensions:  (WxHxD) (in.)
20 5/16 in x 12 in x 15 5/8 in. The front edge of the microwave (measured at door) should sit at least 3" or more back on the counter or shelf to avoid accidental tipping. Microwaves need adequate air clearance on each side, the rear and the top to function properly. This allows good circulation for the intake and discharge air vents. On countertop models, allow 3" of clearance on both sides and the top and 1" clearance in the rear. We suggest to view the following link- MICROWAVE AIR CLEARANCE - COUNTERTOP ONLY MODELS:  https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=21668 - Keep in touch! Sue
