What Should I Look For When Buying A New Wall Oven?
Capacity
This 5.0 cu. ft. built-in double wall oven uses True European Convection to cook evenly and heat efficiently.
One of the biggest factors to consider when searching for a new wall oven is the size. How much space do you have in your kitchen? How much food do you prepare at once? Take your cooking habits and space availability into consideration when determining which type of wall oven will work for you and your needs.
For example, if you have a cozy kitchen and are looking for a compact appliance to fit the space, a 24-inch wall oven may be your glass slipper. The 2.5 cu ft. interior provides ample cooking room while being a fresh and fitting addition to a well-planned kitchen where space is at a premium.
If you have space to spare and often find yourself wishing you had more room to cook in, consider adding a double-wall oven. Not only are they contemporary and stylish, but the two full-sized ovens also maximize cooking capacity and allow you to cook two different courses, at two different temperatures, all at the same time. A double oven is an absolute must-have for home entertaining (and large families). If you’re wondering if a double wall oven is a right fit for you, check out “Is a Double Wall Oven Worth It?“.
Finish
Stainless Steel European Convection Built-In Single Wall Oven (SWA3062GS) features edge-to-edge black glass and stainless steel design with an all-new premium to compliment your style.
One thing that often draws us to an appliance is the way it looks and it is important to look at the attractiveness in the bigger picture – how will it look placed in your current and future kitchen? An easy way to achieve a sleek cohesive look in your kitchen design is by matching the finish of your appliances.
To achieve a modern and elegant look, you could find yourself leaning toward a stainless steel single-wall oven to match other stainless steel appliances in your kitchen (present or future).
Wall ovens with a glass touch display and stainless steel finish, like a Sharp Stainless Steel European Convection Built-In Single Wall Oven (SWA3062GS), are a popular and timeless choice because they are easy to see, operate, and clean.
Are your current appliances white, black, or stainless steel? Opt for a finish that you love to tie your whole kitchen together.
Features
The Built-In Probe Thermometer monitors the internal food temperature and turns off the oven when the internal food temperature reaches the desired temperature.
After narrowing down the basics you want in a wall oven, such as the capacity and finish, it is time to get to the meat and potatoes of it all: the features! The features are what really set appliances apart and can make all the difference in your space. Make the most of your culinary experience by creating a versatile cooking space with the help of your wall oven.

- Dampened Hinges on the Soft-Close Oven Door to prevent slamming
- Warm, Proof, and Sabbath Modes with a Built-In Probe Thermometer
