Wall-mounted steam-oven/microwave-oven combo or separates. Looking for recommendations


Recommended Posts

Posted

My microwave died the other day and I need to buy a new one.  My husband suggested we also replace our wall oven with a new one at the same time as it too is over 20 years old and apt to fail sooner rather than later.  Both are/were GE Profile.  I said I'd be in for replacing the wall oven but only if it could be a steam oven.  He said okay so we've been looking around.  I'm wondering if anyone has experience with either a combo or a wall unit they would recommend?  The steam oven would not be plumbed to a water source/drain, it would have a refillable tank inside the oven.  

 

Any and all suggestions appreciated.

No recent experience to share, but I will be monitoring responses for ideas.
 

My 20-year old Miele convection oven is about to die, and I am looking for a replacement. I am thinking another Miele convection oven, plus their combi-steam oven (smaller model) to replace / upgrade my warming drawer (I don’t use or need a microwave). Sinilar to @ElsieD, the steam oven will not be plumbed.

You may find this article from Emily at Steam and Bake useful as an overview of steam oven brands: The Best Steam Oven Brands in 2025

 

If you are on Facebook, Emily's group ( https://m.facebook.com/groups/combisteamcooking/?ref=share ) might be a good place to ask questions about models you are considering.  The group seems fairly quiet but it’s worth a shot.

 

If you plan to replace your wall oven with a combi steam wall oven, keep in mind that the cavity size of steam ovens tend to be a good bit smaller than conventional ovens, particularly for the non-plumbed models as they need to accommodate a water tank.
