Compact double oven with microwave above
We are building a new house and choosing our appliances. We're hoping to have a double oven with a microwave on top (all electric) and then have our range separate (gas) with a hood above. My hope was to find a more compact double oven (like the one pictured here) and put the microwave directly above it. I'm not seeing anything like this either in photos or for sale. Is this possible? Has anybody else done this? Is it going to cost a ridiculous amount of money? Thanks!

5 years agoWe went with the French door wall oven and advantium speed cook which is like a microwave and oven in onewysmama
5 years agoHere’s a link to the ge site that has the advantium. We didn’t do the combo that they show. We used a French door oven with the advantium above it. No pics yet as House is being built. But we picked appliances at Famous Tate and were able to see the set up.

5 years agoI totally missed that you want them below the countertop. Not sure that it would work with our choices.cpartist
5 years agoI would get a drawer microwave and not try and stack three things because none will be comfortable to use.

In this project, we did the MW drawer below, with a French door oven above, and the 36” range adjacent. It is more than sufficient to produce enough food for 40 at an annual event.Island Style · More InfoIsland Style · More InfoIsland Style · More InfoCharles Ross Homes
5 years agoWhen space is at a premium, we'll often do a three-stack series consisting of a convection oven/broiler/microwave combo unit on top, a convection/conventional combo oven in the middle and a warming drawer on the bottom. I have this configuration in my personal home. The warming drawer is the only appliance in the stack that requires bending over to access. We don't use it frequently so it works for us.

This is a double oven with the microwave on top. The problem is the microwave. The bottom of it will be around 57-60" above the floor. Depending on what you use it for and how often could make it very inconvenient. You would be better off doing the microwave elsewhere or doing as others have suggested - the walloven/micro in a tall cabinet and do a full range.Good luck!

That's exactly what I mean. Use a microwave drawer under your counter. Like mine shown here under the counter. You push the button and the drawer opens and you put stuff in from the top and then push the button to close the drawer. Works great.

Original Author5 years agonancyjwb, I don't know why I never thought of having an oven under the range top and one at the original oven location. I guess because the burners will be gas, and the oven will be electric, but I don't think that should be a huge deal. It takes up a little cabinet space, but I think it will work. Thank you!

5 years agoHi golden2smith, the oven in my picture that you posted with your question is a Bosch 1.5 oven. It has a small conventional oven combined with a grill in the top part and a main fan oven below. It's designed for use under the worktop but I see no reason why you shouldn't place in in an oven stack with a microwave above, and the separate hob elsewhere.
Hope that helps.
Kind regards,
Caroline Browne
