The problem with a lot of current ovens is that the door covers the whole thing, not just the cavity. If they're too high you can't reach across them safely. If the convection MW also has a drop down door, you probably don't want it opening above your shoulders. If it has a side opening, up to head high should be okay.

You don't want to be looking up at the controls--that is, they should be no higher than your forehead--and you should be able to get things in and out of both ovens without a problem.

Can a frameless oven fit in a frameless cabinet?
Plllog explained the framed vs frameless thing...So you can see if there is a frame around the opening (sides, top, and bottom), a drawer box has to be smaller than if there isn't a frame. The drawer front on frameless rests up against the front edge of the cabinet box, not a flat frame attached to the front of the box. My oven can fit in a 30" frameless cabinet. But if it had a frame, to get the same required opening, the cabinet would've had to have been 33" or so. Because the cabinet is wider, the drawer under the oven would be the same width as on frameless, but shallower, because of the frame above and below. --Is this completely confusing?
