From my experience, you'll want a countertop unit with a venting kit that vents thru the front of the unit. The venting kits are pricy, but are required when a unit is put in an unvented area.
I just installed a Sears 721.679?. It replaced an existing Amana unit I installed some years ago, and used the same venting kit.
After I installed the new unit, I had a chance to look at the old one to see what the noise was. The set screw on the fan for the convection heating element had backed out & allowed the fan to rub on the case. Oh well only $324 down the drain.
I do quite a bit of cooking & baking & this is the best unit for it's cost.
I got it on Ebay out of Texas.
