Compact Microwave Oven

Compact microwave ovens, typically 45cm high rather than the standard 60cm, are designed for installation in a half-height cabinet position within a kitchen tower or housing unit. They allow a microwave to be positioned alongside a standard oven without requiring a double-height cavity, making them practical in kitchens where space in the column unit is constrained.

Many compact microwave models from Siemens, Bosch, and Neff include combination cooking functions — microwave with fan oven and grill — that make them suitable for light meals, reheating, and baking without committing to a full-height combination oven. Their 45cm height means they can be positioned in the drawer space below a standard oven.

Woodalls stocks compact microwave ovens from Siemens, Bosch, and Neff. If you are fitting a kitchen tower and want to accommodate both a primary oven and a microwave in a limited vertical space, a compact microwave is the efficient solution. Our Finchley Road showroom team can advise on cabinet dimensions and which models are available in trim kits matching your oven doors.
