If you’re in the market for a new space-saving oven for your kitchen, wall ovens are becoming more and more popular for their ergonomic style and value they bring to your home. This type of appliance (as its name suggests), is installed in a space within your walls and typically can be opened using a single pull-down door or two French doors. For a busy culinary aficionado who dreads lifting heavy pans or dishes, it certainly makes cooking and baking even more convenient. The design of a wall oven takes away a lot of the hassle a standing oven would bring, and makes the seamless appliance an after-thought of the space it dwells in. To get you inspired, we’ve picked out the 8 best wall ovens that will be sure to take your kitchen to a whole other level and what to look for before purchasing your new appliance.

What to Look For
While each of our top picks on our list is a reliable wall oven, making the final decision should be based off the unique characteristics of your kitchen and lifestyle. Before diving into our favorite picks, let’s go over what to look for when shopping for a new wall oven.
Size & Capacity
Knowing how much space is available in your kitchen is a vital part of finding the perfect oven for your needs. Luckily, wall ovens come in three standard sizes: 24-inch, 27-inch, and 30-inch models, but shoppers can still find ovens in different dimensions. Each specific dimension will also impact how much oven capacity each appliance provides.
Fuel Type
Besides the dimensions of a wall oven, the second most important factor will be determining an oven’s source of power. Typically, this is decided by what your home already has set up. Kitchens with a gas supply can opt for a gas oven, whereas electric wall ovens run on a standard outlet, making them installable in virtually any kitchen.
Configuration
Once you’ve established the ideal oven size for your kitchen, you can consider whether to buy a single, double, or microwave wall oven combination configuration. For shoppers who cook less often, a single wall oven provides ample room to prepare light meals throughout the week. However, more involved home cooks and entertainers will benefit from a double oven or an all-in-one wall oven combo with a speed oven.
