1. I have a double oven in my home…For the past 8 years, my second oven on the bottom makes an excellent pots and pan storage bin.
2. I had a built-in microwave that failed and was quoted $600+.. Of if I wanted to have it repaired, it was gonna be $200-300 thanks to good old overpriced american labor…
I ended up pulling out the built-in microwave oven, converting the space into a nice shelf, and put a stainless steel countertop microwave in the new shelf location, with space to spare above…. Price of microwave? $80, before a $20 rebate from sears.
Nice thing above the microwave is that in the same space, it also had a small oven for things like pizza and such….
I’m not sure what the purpose of having two ovens (at least for me…)…[/quote]
Almost the exact same thing at my house, except the top Oven is used as a spill over storage for the bottom oven, except when we need to cook a pizza.
The only thing we have ever cooked in the oven so far. (We go to the Asian Buffet for thanksgiving these days).
Same for the built in micro wave we took the broken one out and put in a sub $100 dollar unit. Been that way two years now and I don’t miss the built in one at all.
