wall ovens under counter?

Has anyone personally done wall ovens side by side under a counter run? Having them up / down configuration is cutting my counter space 32" and I don't have much to begin with. If I do an oven tower I'll have only 22" on each side of a 30" range which is not enough.

Thoughts?

The alternative I guess would be a 48" range but that appliance is WAY over my price point.

    I have a single wall oven under my counter. Works well as long as you're still relatively young. Now that I'm getting older, i don't want to bend anymore. Here is a link to it:

    Did it fit with the range without raising the counter height? Does it have a toe kick under?


    Thanks

    Ours is a single, but under counter, with toe kick. It is low, but I didn't want to give up the counter space to raise it. Guess I'll just have to stay flexible in my old age! (The racks do glide out easily, so the bending is just bending, not squatting.)

    Mine is also under-counter. I guess it isn't ideal, but it also doesn't bother me (I've had an under-counter oven now for about 10 years). Most of the time, I'm only using the middle rack, and I hardly have to lean over at all.

    The only thing I MUST have to use my under counter oven for is large turkeys and large cookie sheets. If/when I get too old for bending for other types of cooking, I"ll purchase one of those super deluxe counter ovens and put it in the "dead" corner. I've intentionally asked for a 20 amp dedicated wall outlet there for any such "deluxe" counter appliance. (Plus other outlets nearby for blenders/slow cooker/etc. that can be used at the same time without fear of blowing a breaker.)

    Do a single range and separate wall oven. A undercounter wall oven is lower to the ground than the one in a range.

    "Do a single range and separate wall oven. A undercounter wall oven is lower to the ground than the one in a range."

    That may or may not be true depending on your range. The bottom of my oven door is 4.5" from the floor and is probably the thing I like least about my range .

    ....and that is about how far off the ground a wall oven mounted under the counter will be...4.5 inches. We looked into doing this, saw one mounted under the counter in person, and realized if was not a good situation. Now if you're very short (see above), it might work. For anyone average height or taller, I would strongly recommend against it. Maybe for a seldom used second oven, but not for a primary oven.

    Add previously recommended, do a range. Your secondary could be under counter.

    I wanna do that too. I bought a like new Corning countertop cooktop. It is white at " Habitat Restore" shop. I want to do undercounter oven. so far just found a 27 older oven.

    I am still looking for a 30 inch. anyone have one.???.. Did they even make one. I want used one as I hate digital junk. It breaks easily and costly to repair. from my experiences....

    thanks yall
