Triple Stack (Ovens/Microwave)

10 years ago

We are remodeling our kitchen and planning to install the Wolf M-Series double ovens and microwave. I very much like the triple stack idea. Since you do this for a living, what is your professional opinion? What are the pros and cons? Yes, the combo will be ~70" high, but once you pull down the M-Series front door, the base of the microwave should be at ~53" high. How does this compare to the over the range height? How does it compare to the height of placing the microwave in an upper cabinet? Please advise.

I would not suggest this layout as it isn't ideal since the microwave is so high and the lower oven is pretty much on the floor. This is what this specific client wanted but they would have been better off placing the microwave in the island, pantry, or along another wall in the kitchen.

We have regrouped and are now looking at the Wolf oven on the bottom; Steam oven above; then microwave above that. This is 4" shorter. Total, 65" Base of microwave basically at 51". This appears to be more manageable. yes??

I am personally not a fan of that look at all, which is why I have only ever done it once in all of our homes at the clients request.

Did you end up triple stacking the Wolf oven, steam oven, and then microwave? How is it working? We are considering exact same thing.
