My daughter just replaced an old 24" double oven with a 24" Bosch wall oven and a 24" Bosch speed oven. She was limited to a 24" because of her cabinet size. She decided not to replace the double oven with another double because she found that there were only three 24" double ovens available and they were all 5" taller than her old one. The cabinet modification would have been more difficult. Using the single oven and the speed oven gave her the option of 2 ovens and allowed her to replace the OTR microwave with a hood.

She could not afford the Miele ovens. She's only had the ovens installed for 2 weeks but loves them. We can't believe how fast the oven preheats. She loves having a vent hood too. The specs I looked at showed that the oven capacity of the Miele is actually a little smaller than the Bosch.

You really have to look at all the measurements carefully. Are you sure your ovens cabinet couldn't fit a 30 inch single wall oven and a 30 inch speed oven. Sometimes they can be modified to do so. I wouldn't downsize if you can fit a 30" in your cabinet. Twenty four inch ovens are tiny!

If your are not completely set on Miele and didn't know, Bosch does have a 27" single wall oven and they also have a 27" speed oven. Those would provide you with a little more capacity than 24" ovens. I would go for the largest size I could get.

Here's a before of my daughter's double ovens

And her new Bosch wall oven and speed oven

Old microwave (only 16" above cooktop)

I have a 24" Miele combi-steam oven and their 30" CO, I only use the big one for holidays, 99% of the time the smaller one is fine.

A 24" oven is a wonderful thing until something doesn't fit in it. If there is a 27" Miele I'd get it. If there isn't, I'd look hard at the Bosch and other options.

(I have had a 27" wall oven--the size was fine. I currently have a 30" range oven and 24" Miele speed oven and I do a majority of my baking in the Miele but not enough to go without a larger oven. Pizza night would be a disaster with only 24" ovens, as would cookie baking and holiday dinners.)

as Fori says 24" oven is a wonderful thing. We got 24" Miele speed oven with 24/30" trim kit to match the other Miele 30" oven. The 24" is way faster and we are using it almost all the time. very happy cooking in this setup...

To be honest, 99% of the time the 24" is the best. We have a 24" Gagg Combi steam but it can also be used as a regular convection without any steam. The beautiful thing is that small ovens heat up so fast. I use this at least couple times a week and I don't have to plan to use the oven because it heats up so fast.

curious about any updates to miele wall ovens. due to my 23.5 wide space i have to get smaller ovens and my bosch is broken and i dont wanna pay to fix a 4 yr old oven . plus that oven didnt even have the basic things like temp display! how crazy is that. even a 500 dollar lowes oven displays the temp! so thinking about miele being last oven i ever buy. the microwave /combo is 4200 though. so curious if you had any breakdowns or just perfection
