If you’re looking to upgrade your kitchen, a wall oven microwave combo is an excellent option. You can save space, enjoy a more streamlined design aesthetic, and reap the benefits of innovative features like smart connectivity and convection cooking.

In this article, we’ll discuss the pros and cons of wall oven microwave combos, recommend seven of our favorite models from Liddiard Home Furnishings, and give tips on how to find the right wall oven microwave combo for your kitchen.
Why Choose a Wall Oven Microwave Combo?
A wall oven microwave combo is a great option for the ambitious home cook. If you’re redesigning your kitchen, it is a great opportunity to incorporate the sleek, built in look of a wall oven microwave combo. These appliances feature two compartments; the smaller one is for microwaving, and the larger one is for baking and roasting. The capabilities of each compartment depend on the model and can include helpful features like a defrost setting, air frying, and convection cooking.
Wall oven microwave combos typically come in 27” or 30” sizes. Depending on the brand you choose, you will be spending between $2,000 and $5,000 on a wall oven microwave combo.

Pros and Cons of Wall Oven Microwave Combos
Wall oven microwave combos present an alternative to over-the-range microwave and range combinations or countertop microwave and range configurations. Here are some of the pros and cons of selecting a wall oven microwave combo for your kitchen:
Pros
Accessibility
You don’t have to bend low to access the oven. It’s much easier to transfer a tray piled with veggies into a wall oven at arm’s height rather than bending down to slide a tray into a traditional oven on a range.
Seamless Design
A built in wall oven microwave combo blends into your kitchen cabinetry for a sleek look.
Flexibility
A wall oven microwave combo allows you more flexibility in designing your kitchen than a traditional range and over-the-range microwave design. For example, with this appliance, you can incorporate your cooktop into your island and save cabinet or countertop space by moving your microwave combo into the wall nearby.
Cons
Expensive
A microwave wall oven combo is more expensive than what you would pay for a separate microwave and single wall oven or an individual microwave and traditional range.
Potential Renovations
You may need to renovate your existing kitchen space to accommodate a microwave wall oven combo, which can further add to the initial expense.

“Wasn’t sure if it was worth it to get the convertible microwave/convection oven, but it 100% is. We love this feature for being able to cook kids meals and adult meals at the same time, when the kids maybe need a slightly cooler temp. We also have used it for entertaining family, keeping things warm while other things cook, etc. Highly recommend if you’re torn between two ovens and a microwave or wanting something that saves a bit of wall space/gives you the option to have more cabinets in the kitchen.”
Tips on How to Find the Right Wall Oven Microwave Combo
If you’re thinking about getting a microwave wall oven duo for your kitchen, discover what to look for to make your search more focused. Measurement of the area is the initial stage. Your wall oven microwave combination must fit both vertically and horizontally in your kitchen. If you are creating custom cabinetry for the appliance, choose the model first before planning your shelf.
Next, you need to ask yourself what are your must-have features?& Choose from Whirlpool’s 27” and 30” wall oven microwave combos if you want smart connectivity. Several of the offerings have a self-cleaning function, while some don’t. Several of the wall oven microwave combos feature convection cooking, so if you want crispy veggies and meats on the outside and tender on the inside, make sure you choose a model with convection.
Lastly, create a budget. Examine several manufacturers’ costs for their wall oven/microwave combo units. The cheapest option isn’t necessarily the greatest, so keep that in mind. You can overlook important features that you desire or choose an untrustworthy brand. Read customer reviews to learn more about what to anticipate with each brand and model.
