What you didn't say was why you were set on the Jenn-Air to start with; only what drew you to the Thermador. Definitely compare notes on whether each one gives you what you're looking for in a wall oven. If they're similarly priced and both have all the features you need/desire, then I would search reviews for both on GW as well as other sites like epinions, consumer reports, etc. and then make my decision. Make sure to check the ovens out in person to compare what you see about physical quality & workmanship. I haven't read alot of good about the Jenn-Air appliances on GW (alhtough they look really nice in photos), but I also wasn't looking at a 27" wall oven. On the flip side, my mom has a Thermador 30" double wall oven and has had a few minor problems that have turned into major headaches until they were fixed. Does she love the way the food turns out from that oven? YES!! Would she trade it if given a chance? No way!! (but she would have vented it to the outside vs. having those darn fans run for what seems like hours after use.) Bottom line, do your homework beyond the usable interior space & choose the one that best fits your needs and (based on reviews) will give you the least hassle down the road. Good luck!

Most standard fridges, especially types like French door, are almost 36", so there is often a 36" cabinet above with side panels that come down beside, leaving 36" space inside. If the cabinet is 36" overall, a narrower fridge would be necessary...There are quite a few choices, I think, at about 33". Ovens usually fit in 28 1/2" of space inside a cabinet. If framed this often means they need a 33" to get a large enough opening. You can usually have a 30" cabinet if it is frameless. If it's a type that offers a flush installation, a wider cabinet can be required for that. Putting them right next to each other can cause problems with the fridge door hitting the oven door handle, so how much room in between you might need can depend on the models you choose and their handle styles.

Update on the Panasonic Convection/MW: I cooked stuffed peppers last night and decided to preheat the oven. I combo cooked for 25 min total but it took a little longer to get everything put together so it was preheating for a while before that. When my daughter got something out of the cabinet above she commented that it was warm and it definitely was. I got out the manual (which has a picture of the oven on a counter below wall cabinets) and under placement of oven it says "3" clearance on each side and 1" on top, do not block air vents, do not place near a hot, damp, surface such as a gas or electric range or dishwasher, do not operate when room humidity is excessive." Also, I couldn't find it on display anywhere when I was looking. They have it online at Sears and Best Buy but not in the stores and none of the 4 appliances stores that I went to had one either. I ended up buying it sight unseen at Buy.com . So far I like it better than the Sharp. Hope that helps! attention. I did notice the cabinet being warm on occasion but never checked during or right after cooking. I cooked the stuffed peppers for 25 minutes total but it took me longer than expected to get everything put together so it was preheating for a while. I know that doesn't help much but I thought I'd throw that in. Also, FWIW, when I took down the wallpaper in the kitchen several weeks ago, the paper behind that oven had come away from the wall. I read about the Panasonic here on Gardenweb. It seems stupid to have a countertop oven that size that nees 6" clearance above it month, teh paper beThere's about

What's the color theme? You could do the range in a LOOKAME color in which case the little oven won't be expected to look anything like it. Just treat the range as though it were a decorative element and not an appliance.
