The 10 Best Wall Ovens
This wiki has been updated 15 times since it was first published in September of 2020. Wall ovens are installed in kitchen cabinets and offer a more streamlined and custom look than traditional, stand-alone ranges. They also tend to be a bit more expensive, more energy-efficient, and easier to access since you can position them at the height you choose. All wall ovens must be installed by a licensed professional and operated according to their instructions. When users buy our independently chosen editorial choices, we may earn commissions to help fund the Wiki.

Editor's Notes
October 08, 2020:
Many modern kitchens have wall ovens and separate stovetops instead of the all-in-one range. This creates two cooking areas instead of one, which can decrease the heat and human traffic around each. While they tend to be more expensive than their stand-alone counterparts, wall ovens offer greater energy efficiency and flexibility. Smaller, single units are well-suited for everyday cooking, while baking enthusiasts might appreciate a large double oven.
Buying an appliance is an investment, and we've listed tried-and-true brands with a range of prices, user-friendly controls, and consistent cooking. On the higher end of the scale, the Thermador Masterpiece and Cafe 30 French Door look impressive in your kitchen and offer top-quality results. These smart appliances are loaded with functions for creating gourmet meals.
Double units like the Frigidaire Professional and the GE JK3 Combo are also pricy, but they give you twice the cooking space - perfect for dinner parties and holidays. We've also included several mid-range options like the GE JTS and the LG LWS. If you're on a tight budget, the Empava 24 is a 2-foot-wide unit that will get the job done. Another compact choice is the Cafe Advantium 30, a fast-cooking design that is both an oven and a microwave.
Those with smaller kitchens may also want to consider countertop roaster ovens, toaster ovens, pizza ovens, and convection ovens.
